Duece,
At first I was unsure what to write but, I felt the need to say something to you. Although, I never had the oppurtunity to see you I had the pleasure of talking with you and even after years of not speaking you made me feel like a part of the family. I wish we had the oppurtunity to meet so, you could show me the city as we both planned but, I'm sure your watching over me. R.I.P
