Thank you
Ethan made my best friend Riana who is like a sister to me so happy. I could never repay him for that. I have so many fond memories with Ethan especially when he would stop into my work just for a coffee in the morning and always talk about Riana and we would both laugh our asses off at absolutely nothing. He meant so much to her and her to him. Hopefully his Mom or Grandmother can get a chance to see this because you both deserve a lot of credit for raising a true gentlemen. He was smart, definitly witty, great with people and so thoughtful and romantic when it came down to planing the perfect date for Riana. My heart is so heavy but I can say this, we will forever keep his memory alive. Rest peacefully Ethan.
