Troy,

I know that it has been a while since I last wrote. I often look on this site just to look at reflections of others. It reminds me just how much you are missed by not just me, but many others.

It seems that when someone dies, life just goes on and people move onto the next thing. and forget about the deceased, but that isn't the case with you. Your presence is truly missed and it's so unfair that you were taken.

I think of you often, I remember your smile, your jokes (sometimes corny) Lol!, and how you could light up a room. I still miss our talks and I just the genuine friendship that we had. A lot has changed. I've remarried and and I have two married children. Amazing, right?? My youngest is in college and I'm somewhat looking forward to being an empty nester I guess.

I would be sitting here for hours telling you all the things that have changed in my life since I last left a reflection, but just know that I'm happy. I know that you would be happy for me too. I'm going to stop here because I can feel the sadness coming and I know that's not what you would want. I just want you to know that I miss you and that you will forever hold a place in my heart. Keep resting my friend.
