Dear Ivory....

I still can't believe that your gone. My heart hurts in more than one way. I'm sorry that you had to go through a selfish act of crime, hate, and pain. I'm sorry that u had to leave so early in this life. I just wanted to say thank you for smiling every time I saw you! I can recall the 1st time I met you, never met someone who was as big as you with a bigger heart! ;-) You always made sure I was okay, cuz I'm accident prone ;-) I truly appreciate that.... Your smile can warm up a room and I'm distraught that it has faded. I hope you believed in a higher power so that I may see you again one day. I will try my hardest to contribute in any way I can to eliminate violence in the world.... I just cant grip the fact that someone could detach their feelings and take a life... how can sleep at nite... Coping with this will not be an over night process. Please look after me, for i still don't know how this 'life' things works! lol I pray that you make your way into the hearts that took your life so they can surrender..... I pray that your family, friends, and Shaker Alum will find comfort, and I ultimately pray that you are at peace. We miss u like crazy, Ivory..... I miss u like crazy....

It wouldn't hurt if smiled on us every once in a while ;-)

Rest In Peace

I Love You
