To Milton's family members,

I hope that time has been good to you, and that you have found some comfort and peace of mind now. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of Milton. We were close friends and I have many memories of our times together to fall back on. For that, I am grateful.
I just wanted you all to know I am still praying for you. I know you are missing Milton still as I am, and it will take time for us to heal.
Milton was an one-of-a-kind of guy that brings a smile to my face every time I think of him. He was a genius in his own way, a charmer of sorts, and could always make me laugh. I loved him then, still do, and always will.
I just wanted you all to know Milton is still alive in my heart as I'm sure he is in yours. May God bless you and give you peace than only He can give.
