I don’t tell many people this, but I sleep with a stuffed animal at night. It’s a doggy that Royboy gave me one Valentine’s Day. He and I sure did spend a lot of great times together, and I love him with my whole heart. I may not always have been the best girlfriend in the world, but I sure am lucky that I had the chance to be loved by the most loving guy in the world. Heaven stole one heck of a man from us, but I know that he is in peace up there and that God is taking good care of him. I love Roy so much.
To Kathy, Roy, Chris, and Shannon- You guys were like my other family. I love you all. Roy loves you very much. I wish I had the bond with my family that he had with you all. I hope you all take care of yourselves and each other, and stay strong. God bless you.
To Omar- I’m sorry I never got the chance to meet you, but I almost felt like I knew you because Roy talked about you so much. He loves you a lot.
To Lisha- You and Roy had something special, and it makes me glad to know he was with someone as great as you. Take care of yourself.

Roy,
It has been a long time. Ever since 7th grade. I still remember the kid in geography class. You have changed so much since then. You grew in ways that could not be measured. You could always make me laugh. I remember you in Middle School, and then in High School, the things you did we still talk about and remember the good times. And I know that is what you would want.
But my greatest memory is when we went to Universal Studios in Orlando. We went on to the ET ride. You wanted to take one of the leaves off the trees while we were on the ride. Little did you know that a good part of the tree would come off to. Then when you dropped the tree branch it landed over the model city that was under us. Then we all ran, because we all thought we would get kicked out.
I know that I speek for all that knew you, when I say that we all will miss you.
