I miss u denise!! & I never wished anything bad to happen to u,but it did. Sad to say huh? Ur family has fallin' apart ur mom n sisters r in denial bout it n the way things had to happen. But u & I both know ur cousin had nothing to do with this..... What were u doing on23rd n wall???????? u had no business being there in dem apartments. Why??? Nisey I ask myself Everyday. There's times I sit there n think back on the good times we
once shared. They'll never be forgotten. For the record we also both know the PRIMERA FLATS didn't set u up!!! Nor ur cousin... U just happen to be kickin' it smoking a blunt with dem ppl from flats n dat happen u were in da wrong place at the wrong time. There's no one to blame there. U chose to be there feel me?but one thing I do know fosho is U r truly miss thou. & we shall C each other one day again Good Bye Giggles! Rip :'( I love u Denise Guadalupe Gonzalez RIP ma girl
