To my best friend in the world . Since 2011 when u left Maryland there has not been a day I didnt think about you . The many days we worked together at the post .. And when I lost my job after 13 years with the post . You told me don't worry about a thing and opened up your home to me and gave me a place to stay .. I give thanks for u for coming into my life and everything u did for me . I remember u setting up the art shows for me in your living room .. U were the greatest man that has ever came into my life and will be truly missed ...
