We were friends, maybe not the closest friends, but I loved you.
You were kind and generous, and despite all life had thrown at you, downright jolly most of the time.
In every way that counts you were one of the best people I've ever had the pleasure, the joy of knowing.
I'll remember your acid wit, your absurdist humor that more often than not left me clutching my side with tears in my eyes.
I'll remember how you were always ready to help, no matter what the need.
I'll always admire just how much you made of your short life, how many people you helped, how many lives you touched.
I miss you.
When we said goodbye I never thought it would be forever.
Rest in peace my friend.
Or party in paradise.
I think the latter is more likely.
