Davey always made me laugh when we were kids. I dont know what is so funny about old car honking sounds but it was really funny as a kid. I am sorry to hear of his loss and Im praying for comfort for Calvin.
My dearest best friend and brother, My heart is shattered, even more so that I cannot be there to celebrate the amazing life you led and the wonderful person that you are. I know you’d understand why, we actually just got done talking about it over dinner a little over a week ago, but it still doesn’t feel right. A piece of my heart died when you left us. You will forever be missed and always be loved. Till we meet again.
