Todd was my first loss of someone I always thought I would see again. He was the first real love of my life and we had an amazing friendship throughout the years.He was just the most generous and genuine person. He was everyone’s friend and one of the greatest people I have ever known. I will miss him forever and hope his family has found comfort.
