James,
We had a special bond. We became best friends in Middle School and our innocent love for each other will last for eternity. We were two peas in a pod and you will never know the impact you made on my life. Writing this, I can see us on the riverbank, both fishing, and I look over to see you smiling at me. We always had the absolute best time at your house, at Lake Shawnee, or whenever we were together. I can still hear your laugh, and see you during P.E. class, trying to make me laugh by acting like Benny Hill. For someone with so much pain, you had the purest, most giving heart. I will always love you, my friend, and I know you are in heaven catching the biggest fish heaven has to offer. Until we meet again, Lisa Rhoten Doyle
