Many yimes we talked I was crying as we text but I never would let you know the extreme pain in my heart to loose the best thing that ever happend to me in my life time . No one can ever replace that kid next door who never would give up on our playing and having my mom bake us cobblers from the trees in your yard your the reason I am and why I stamd tall to have known the best friend in life I could have ever had Joe you ate going to be missed ao terribly not a dat has goe that we not talked or said I love you , and its not fairwell its just good bye for now but I will see you someday and we will continue that journey my bff in liife and destg you will never be forgotten .
