My condolences go out to the family of Albert, who was very young to be taken in death, but soon death will be swallowed up forever, as 1cor15:26 brings out, "the last enemy, death will be brought to nothing". Until then, may the GOD of confort, confort you now in your hour of need.

Oh, Albert. The thought that keeps running through my mind is "what am I going to do without you?" You went from being my acquaintance to being my friend to being my family with a small amount of time and a handful of memories. You were always there. I just want you to know how much I appreciate you and everything you ever did. You're so important to me. You're big teddy bear heart will always have a place in mine.

I love you friend.

I'm so sad Albert is no longer with us. He was one of my best friends and by far one of the most amazing people I ever met. I will never be able to forget him. Albert always brought a smile to my face and was always there for me. I'm sad I didn't get to spend more time with him. He will never be forgotten by the people who knew him. He truly did teach me what it means to be a great friend. I love you Albert and I will never forget you!

Love,
Rhiannon
