We all have so many awesome memories of band and high school with you....Friday night football games, long summer band practices, band and concert competitions, dances, etc......but what I won't forget is how you would chat with and email me while I was deployed in the Army.....I never told you and I should have but just that small gesture help keep me in good spirits being so young and a thousand miles away from home.....you were such a great person and friend and I'm sorry we lost touch.....you will be missed but not forgotten, watch over us now sweet friend, love you!!
