"So many memories over the years, my friend. I enjoyed the days when you, Kim, Danny, and I would hang out. What good times we had. One in particular is when we went to Midturn, bought a picture of beer, asked for 4 green olives. We dropped the olives in the beer and each tried to get one olive in their mug. I will miss your voice, I will miss your laugh, that way I would tease you for no certain reason, and you would cock your head to the side with a grin and say "Awww man, Teri". You new I was just teasing to get you to laugh and smile. It wont be the same, but I promise you that Kim will still go places with us and we will save a seat for you. You will be with us in spirit and we will drink a toast to you when we get to our destination."
