A strong friendship doesn’t need daily conversation; doesn’t always need togetherness, As long as the relationship lives in the heart, true friends will never part.

I have known Bob since high school. Maureen and I moved in to an apartment, corner from where Bob start dating Maureen(Evangelista then), off of mason St. Arroyo Grande village where his family lived. The memories we shared with Bob, Maureen, and his awesome family to envy, will always be cherish. We are truly going to miss a good friend.
