Torry Darr says
I never knew this would be me looking at this ..I miss you brother…I’ve been down a road that we all have to travel and it’s hard…I don’t understand how you could leave so easily… I hope you’re happy now, I know up there or where ever you are that life is better. I wish I could’ve been there to see you before you left. I’m working on myself right now and to be honest I never wanted this to happen..no one did. I just hope you don’t have to feel pain and the loneliness of this world and what’s to come You were always there to take care of me when we were alone, you were always there to comfort me when it felt like everything around us was bad. I will never forget you. I promise. I will forever know you as my brother…My Blood. No one can’t take that away. I haven’t checked my messages yet but I think one’s from you. For now I miss you a lot. you and Mom are in a better place. See you when it’s my time.
