To a friend I made when friends were my world. Your silliness, laughter, and perseverance resonated with me on levels I don’t think I ever fully expressed to you. I knew your heart when it came to Tav, Eric, and I. We all knew that if we had it to give, we got each other and if we didn’t, we always had uplifting words of encouragement to get what we sought in this life. Your creativity and expression of it have motivated me and inspired me. I will always remember our shared memories and since you’ve passed I’ve been having memories I thought have passed resurface like the first time you brought me to your neighborhood and I met some of your family. Making this so much harder but I’m glad I have those memories and I’m sure everyone whose lives you touched are grateful for that fact as well. Seeing all the love you had to give and all the love for you being shared today is a true blessing. I love you dawg. SG4L -Heavy
