I love you buddy & I'm gonna really miss you. I don't call very many people "friend" but that's how I have ALWAYS referred to you and Cookie. We had alot of fun together back in the day. Hanging out in Miwuk and coming down to Santa Cruz too. I'm sorry we didn't see much of each other the last couple years. That was MY loss. I will always remember your "baby picture". Omg, that was timeless! Your friend for eternity, Brad Summaria
