May he rest in peace. I can't believe this keeps happening. Maybe now he can hang out with our good friend kelly. I remember in the good old days when we used to hang out every day and were all inseperable. I am so sorry for your loss. Please, everyone, don't drink and drive and be careful out there on the roads. I have come to realize in the last few months how truly fragile our lives are.
