back in 1998 I moved to a different high school and you were my first friend. Somehow we didn't get sick of each other. Thank you for being you and accepting me for me my friend. You aren't in pain now, but you fought and held on so long to live and for everyone here who is missing you now. Thank you Chris. We will do our best here but, it won't be the same without you. Love, peace, hugs.
