My beautiful Aunt Lizzy. This was the last message I sent you. Aunt Liz I don’t know if you’re able to read this, but I just want you to know that I love you very much and I want to thank you for always being there for me and being one of the bestest aunts a guy could ask for. You’ve always been there like another mother and I’m so grateful that you’ve been in my life. Thank you, just thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’ll never be able to express to you how grateful I am and I am praying for you.
