I just spent the last I don't know how long screaming and crying and praying. We were becoming really good friends, and I was getting to know you and your family so well. I hate this.
All I can say, is that I'm jealous you're where I want to be right now. Your wife and little boy will be in my prayers forever.
I can't even believe that we were talking last Friday before you passed away. I was sick and stayed home from classes and you told me that you wished you could have stayed home sick, too and we both laughed. You were such a good brother in Christ, even if our friendship was solely online.
I am free! I am free! I stretch wide hands To the laughing mad-cap winds; I enfold All prisoned things, crouchant, wretched and cold In my new warm life. I would lose their bands, Give them crimson, kisses, fame, riches, lands! I'd give them liberty, splendid as light, Sweet as water to desert thirst, the sight Of distant green blur on the blazing sands! 'No more angry words that cut keen like steel; No jealous, dim doubts that sicken the mind And toss it like foam on a maddened sea; No more stupid, half-despised efforts to feel The old passion surge, resistless and blind; I am free, free, free! Dear God, I am free!

I'm so grateful for the brief time that I knew you. Few people in my life have left such a lasting impact in such a short time.
My thoughts are with your wife, whom I know you loved very much. And with your son, whom I know you will be watching over. Peace be with you all!

To the laughing mad-cap winds; I enfold
All prisoned things, crouchant, wretched and cold
In my new warm life. I would lose their bands,
Give them crimson, kisses, fame, riches, lands!

Sweet as water to desert thirst, the sight
Of distant green blur on the blazing sands!

The old passion surge, resistless and blind;
