Just today I posted your junior high pic on my facebook page, and your cousin told me you had passed. I’ve been looking for you for years – I am so hurt that I didn’t get to re-connect with you. You were a great friend and next-door neighbor, and although I haven’t seen you for years, I miss you very much. I trust that God will give the family and friends peace during this time. I will always count you as one of my best friends. Love ya…Bryan
