You were always a joy to work with, and never seemed to be bothered by anything in the world. It is true indeed when they say: "Only the good die young!" Rest in peace my friend, you will be missed.

I just can't believe that you are gone. I remember all the fun we had when everyone was younger. I will never forget them. Death can't take our memories or change how we felt about you.
