"To my ?LB? (Little Brudder), my bestest friend, my protector, my heart, & my everything. I told all my secrets to you. There?s nothing you didn?t know about me. Nothing I didn?t know about you. Thank you for being the best little Brother a Sister could ever have. I?m not sure where we?ll go from here without you. Life will never be the same. God thought I needed another angel & he chose the best. My last words to you were ?I Love You? a few hours before you passed & I want you to know that I?ll forever love you & I am truly lost without you. This seems like a bad dream that I keep waiting to wake up from. Although I haven?t really accepted your passing yet, it brings me a sense of peace that you are not suffering anymore and I know you are up in heaven with Jesus & all of your beloved friends & family making beats, playing music, & reminiscing about good times. Happy & smiling down upon us. One day we will all be together again, but until that day comes, I will forever be truly heartbroken LB. Please always be with us & keep us safe & reassure us all that you are happy once again. I know in my heart that you are finally at peace now. Thank you for always being there for me. I will forever cherish all our wonderful times we shared together. Until one day we meet again, I will forever keep you in my heart! ?I love you the mostest infinity LB?!!! Rest easy Little Brother & fly high my beautiful angel!"
