Linda,
I can not get off work, because we are so busy, and I feel bad. He was always there for his friends, and I can not be there for him, but he would understand, because he was the best friend I had. When he worked for me on second shift at the body plant. He worked so hard, even when he could not get around so good. He would come thru the shop, and I would try to meet him half way, so he would not have to walk so far. He would laugh when I told him, he was the best, because he never put himself above anyone. He is so special, and he will always be there for all of us. He knew I loved him, and I told him. He is in a better place, and he was never afraid of going there. I will tell him again that I love him in a talk we will have later.
