Boobie 2010 has come and gone faster than I have come to realize. All of the memories We are making now, none of them compare to all the times we spent kicking it with you. You we one cool ass homie... A True Friend, one that no one else can compare to. I will never meet some one as chill and cool as you. The day you were taken from us still sits clearly in my head, it is something I will never forget. I thought that time would ease the heartache but I feel like nothing has changed. We think about you everyday and You are still a part of our lives. I wish so bad you were still here; but your memory will live on in our hearts forever. I know you are watching over us and will forever be our guardian angel. Keep us safe this new year and just know we love and miss you so much... Can't wait to See you some day in Heaven. Rest In Peace Boobie
