You and I got along great in school. Every time you saw me, you would say something stupid to make me laugh or make a funny face. Outside of school, you messaged me and I didn't see it. You complimented me on how I looked and asked how I was. I've spent the last couple days wishing I responded. I'll miss you my friend. Rest in Paradise.
Every time I saw you, you gave me the biggest hug and never failed to make me smile and laugh. You never met a stranger and you are so very missed. The entire class of 2014 is shaken up by this, your memory will never be forgotten.
With Deepest Condolences for your great loss, Gone but not forgotten. May Almighty GOD strengthen Family and Friends! Sandra Moore and Family π
T-ball I love you forever π
