IT REALLY SADENED MY HEART TO KNOW THAT YOU LEFT SO SOON. I'LL NEVER FORGET OUR MANY ARGUMENTS OVER HAIRSTYLES AND THE CONSTANT TALKS ABOUT GOD. I REST ASSSURED THAT YOU ARE AT PEACE AND NOT BEING BOTHERED BY THESE WORLDLY THINGS. AS THE YEAR IS APPROACHING, KNOW THAT YOU ARE AND WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART. I MISS YOU BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE SAFE IN THE MASTER'S ARMS.
