I know you know this already, but I still think of you every single day. I will never forget getting the call that you had been shot and I still feel short of breath and nauseous anytime I think about the call that said they couldn’t save you.

It was hard to process after you’d been gone only days, weeks and months and now we are here.......26 long years have gone by without you. 26 years since I last heard your voice or saw your smile.
You will be in my heart as long as it is beating.
Love,
