My condolences to ur family from mine.

I’m trying to figure out on how to do this without you. It’s crazy knowing that my door is never gonna open with u on the other side. Or that late night phone call just to say ur spending the night!! Some of my best times have been with you. Ur one of the few ppl I cld always sit back and be me with and that means a lot to me. Know u will be forever in my heart and I absolutely love you!!

Sleep peacefully my friend.
