Can´t believe a year has passed already Rich. I know for a fact my son Jamie speaks of you and shares memories of you often. I miss you. He misses you, the brother from another mother. I´ve run into you son on a few occasions and he´s grown into the man you´d want him to be. You would definitely be proud, he tells me how much he miss you. Their mom is doing a great job like always. So Sleep Easy Angel Of Ours. Always Loved Never Forgotten !

Words can't explain how much I miss my brother from another. It's still tough to believe you not here anymore. I miss you bro and I think about you almost everyday. So many laughs between me, you and our crew!! I had fight parties planned that I can't seem to finish putting together because it doesn't feel the same without you around bro. I love you and miss you dearly. JayReal
