Alphonso,
I keep finding myself going back to the messages I sent you and waiting for you to show up to the New Years bash. We had so many plans for this music thing after this last deployment. I'm gonna miss you and so is the whole BKG team. You will always be a part of us and what we do. Rest in paradise my friend.
