I am truly proud to call you my friend. I pray for you often and think of you, too. I have many fond memories of going to see the Grateful Dead with you, or going to see them when you had to work and you and the FDNY would watch over our car as we would park near your firehouse. You are truly a hero, and I know you are in good company. Peace and love to you.

You have always been with me in my heart, and I will never forget you.
