Dear Devon, I cannot believe I am writing this right now. I can remember every memory with you. Living together while we put up with Bud, our crazy neighbor below us. How you made your mom come all the way to our place to find a spider you saw in your bedroom. Listening to music and singing in the car, carpooling to work, rushing to Dunkin Donuts to get iced coffee before work, shopping trips, bonfires and holiday parties, your awesome cooking...How you always made fun of me for never taking off my name tag after work...oh gosh the list goes on...We laughed together, cried together, and could spend hours talking to each other about everything. You were always there for me. Some of my greatest memories of my life were with you. You introduced me to your handsome little man Bracken and you also introduced me to the love of my life. I am so grateful that I met you and we got to share a wonderful friendship. You are going to be truly missed. You are a beautiful girl with a big heart. May you be at peace, I will never forget you.
