I'll never forget our sleepovers as tweens dancing to the "Grease 2" soundtrack. No one rocked out the song "Cool Rider" like you babe! You'll be missed. Thank you for being a friend to me growing up. RIP honey!

Just because we Didnt talk anymore doesn't mean that id forgotten about you or that i Didnt still care
Truth is i did and AlwaYS will...I did my best to check up on u to see how you were. If you were okay,but every time i got the urge to come talk to you it would hit me ..were strangers now you didnt want me in your life so many things have changed and im no longer part of you. I wouldve given anything to have u back as my friend. Now its time to say goodbye and i havent even had a chance to say hello...my heart broke a lil each day not having u around and now forever broken. .. there are so many things i have to tell u still i always thought u would one day stop being so stubborn and call on me and id come running and things would be as they once were . ive already missed you for so long now and now ill go on forever missing u until we meet again. i love u with all my heart .PIMPTRESs D..i always have and i always will.. Fly higher DENA UNTIL I C U AGAIN.RIP
