She then went on, “I'm not one to express much, but I feel the need to because my heart is so heavy. My open letter to you. Though I haven't known you long, we built a relationship that was strong. I'm sitting here looking through our last text messages and trying to figure out where I went wrong, what I missed, what I could have done differently to have been there for you in your time of need.”
“I will try to remember the good times we spent together and I will always remember our laughs and your smile. I pray that you are resting peacefully. I'm sorry I wasn't there. The last text you sent to me was, “Be great friend” and I promise you that I will… for you and for me.”
