Kali Bug and I will miss you dearly, and our breakfast/ lunchs together at Waffle House. Also our talks that we would have together. How you always hand a kind pat for Kali Bug. My heart aches with the thought of not being able to talk to you again. Or to hear your laugh. Heaven has gained a very special Angel.
