JC. I love you! You are one of my very best friends of this life. I will miss you and I will see you again. I will never forget your kindness, your loving demeanor and your constant, zest for life. We had a blast JC. Rest now friend. Rest now. You are with the creator, You are an angel in heaven now. You were my angel here on earth. For always forever, ill miss your smile, your jokes, your strength. It hurts to think of you not being here and I know God will heal that pain, and you will watch over me with God on heaven. Nothing will make me forget about you and/or our friendship. Not time, and certainly not death. To the Parents: Mr. & Mrs. Cobham, who gave everything to care for JC, who loved him most of all, he suffers NO MORE. Its alright now.
