Was so fun when we would play world.of warcraft..or lord of the rings..we had alot of fun, i never got to meet him in person. But i got to know him on a spiritual kind of way. Kinda like a virtual pen pal. He woukd tell me how life was so brutal in minnesota, and was so tired of the cold, wich i can relate growing up in northern minnesota. He was a good friend..ill miss you everyday we cant talk. And i think of you everyday !Sky!
That was him the first time i met him..Thank you Andy.aka SKY. For almbthe times we got to chat, and for the wow mount was a precious gift..i just wish i k ew what was really goin on since i live 45 minutes away..peace brother!
