"I remember one day growing up playing basketball at Arnold's house. And I made Greg mad so I took off running . I got about 2 blocks away and I seen him picking up something and throwing at me . So I ducked but the object still hit me cutting my lip , so I took off running and about 5 or 6 strides into running he was right beside me , saying don?t tell mom , don?t tell mom! I didn?t at first , but eventually I did! You will be missed brother . Love and miss you! We sure had some great times on 13th street, the best neighborhood ever. Love Jeff"
