My Dearest Son,
I have wondered what kind of man you would have become. This year you would have turned 20 and I can remember like it was yesterday holding you for the very first time. Your laughter, kindness, love for all things and compassion you had was so uplifting then and now. Heaven is for sure a better place since you been there, spreading love and joy all around. You are truly missed by those that knew you. Love you always

"Ke" had a presence about him that lifted your spirits after a long day. I would see him just about everyday when I picked up my daughter from their school.

May the good Lord soothe & guide his family during this difficult time.
