Hard to believe its been 8 years. Life is still not the same. I can't begin to count the number of times I have reached for the phone to call you. Krystin left you flowers a few days ago. She cleaned your headstone a little bit. My heart hurts for her. She misses you as much as I do. Ed is gone now too. She has just been so heartbroken over it all. I can't tell you how many times I will say, if only.......to talk to you one more time. I love and miss you....

My dear dear friend, my heart is so broken I can't even express how I am feeling right now. I love you so much and will miss you more than words can describe. I am praying for comfort for your family. My life will never be the same without you in it.
