I am shocked and saddened to learn you have left us. We met on Facebook, and never met in person; however, we became friends the past few years. We messaged each other many times; we shared stories about our lives. I will miss you forever, my friend. Sending love and healing to your family. As for you, my friend, I will see you soon.
