"We will always remember your kind heart, the many times you helped my mom with packages, your beautiful smile, and your zest for laughter. I remember when your mom had your going away party, when you were going to boot camp, I made you the flag cake and you gave me the biggest hug. We all had such a great time, banging our heads going into the basement and dancing our butts off. You were a special human being and it was an honor to know and love you. Rest easy kid and watch over your mom. "
