Danny you left a hole in my heart when you left. You have no idea how much you meant to me. I still can’t believe you are gone. I didn’t even get to tell you Bye and I love you. This hurts down deep inside. We were raised and grew up together and now you aren’t here to continue growing up with me. I will forever miss you and please just know that we love you and will always miss you.
