What an interruption in our lives from such an unexpected loss of the gift of life we often take for granted, Thinking we still have plenty of other times for a visit. I'm going to miss Dre, his jokingly manner and gentle mannerism. And most of all having him call me Auntie. Thank God for prayer! I love Dre and do miss him, knowing I won't have occasion of a visit. May God be the comfort to all that LOVE Dre.
