We are going to miss you my friend. I am a better person for knowing you. I am still in disbelief, but I know you are with God now and already talking smack on all of us. It will not be the same with you gone. I love you and will see you on the other side. Rest in Peace DW…
Right now, I find myself in disbelief, struggling to accept that you are no longer physically here with us. It feels surreal—like a chapter has unexpectedly closed in a story we thought would go on forever. But amidst this grief, I find comfort in knowing that you are in a better place now. I believe you are with God, watching over us, perhaps already talking smack about all of us just as you always did. I can hear your voice, full of that mischievous humor, teasing us from beyond, reminding us that you’re still here in spirit, still part of our lives in ways that words can’t fully capture.
Your departure leaves a void that’s difficult to fill. The world, our circle, and my own life will not be the same without you. You brought light into dark moments, laughter into times of sorrow, and joy into everyday routines. Your ability to find humor in any situation, to lift others when they needed it most, and to be genuine and authentic was a rare gift. You had a way of making everyone feel seen and valued, and that’s something I will carry with me forever.
Although you are no longer with us in the physical sense, I believe your spirit remains alive in the memories we shared, the lessons you taught us, and the love you gave so freely. It’s a comfort to think that you are now at peace, free from pain and suffering, celebrating the life you lived with the same zest and enthusiasm you showed every day. I know you would want us to remember the good times, to smile through the tears, and to carry forward the kindness and laughter you shared so generously.
I want to thank you for being a true friend—someone I could count on through thick and thin. Your loyalty, your humor, your compassion—they all made a difference in my life and in the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know you. You had a way of making everyone feel special, and your impact will be felt long after you’ve gone. That’s the mark of a truly remarkable person.
As we say our goodbyes, I find solace in the hope of reunion someday—on the other side, where there are no more tears, no more pain, only eternal peace. I look forward to that day when we will meet again, when I can thank you in person for all that you’ve given me and for the friendship that meant the world to me. Until then, I will carry you in my heart, honoring your memory, and striving to live with the kindness and humor you exemplified.
Rest in peace, DW. You’ve earned your rest, and I pray that your soul finds comfort and joy wherever you are now. Thank you for being part of my life, for the lessons, the laughter, and the love. I will miss you dearly, but I will also celebrate your life, your spirit, and the incredible person you were. Until we meet again, know that you are loved—more than words can say—and that your legacy will continue to inspire all of us who had the privilege to know you.
