We still miss you little brother, every minute of every single day. I miss your friendship most of all and the way you and Freddy were always going at each other in fun. Our hearts are made heavy even more right now because a neighboring city lost a hero and he was even younger than you when you made your ultimate sacrifice. It never leaves my mind how we lost you and how we miss you but we know you are looking down on us and shining your light on us. You have a new partner now and his name is Justin Terney. Greet him and walk with him and show him that we will never forget him. Freddy and I talk often about the fun we used to have with you and Dee. We sure had some crew back then and we will again someday be back together. I look forward to that day my friend, my little brother, and my hero. I love you and I miss you Chase, you will never be forgotten.
