You once sold me a car, and we instantly because friends and that was the start of a great Friendship. I remember you well, and we were good friends and had lots of laughs. We had a great Friendship and I will never forget you. You were always very respectful of me and made me feel so special when I saw you. I will miss you and trust me, I won't ever forget your smiling face.
