To my loving brother Donte - you will be missed tremendously and life will never be the same. I´m still waiting on that text in the group chat; knowing it will never come is breaking me. I pray I find you in every life cycle I enter - this lifetime and the next. I´ll forever love you. Forever is a long time. Love, Baby girl
