changed since we last saw eachother and you were both hopeful and still trying to find your place in life. I don't know what happened and it's probably not my place to know, what I do know though is that during your time on this Earh you touched the hearts and lives of everyone around you. You even touched the life and heart of your middle school bus buddy from so long ago, I'll miss you Drake. Thank you for our fond memories, even if they're only few.
Love, Aunt Debbie and Uncle Mike
