Reginald and I went to elementary school together and we went separate ways after my seventh grade year,and met up again at Baker High School in Columbus,Georgia my Junior year. We graduated together and lost touch until another classmate was lost and we reconnected again. Today we lost another classmate on 23 of February then I heard about his passing on the following Saturday. So Until we meet again my friend Rest in Heaven my fellow classmate,veteran, and law enforcement officer. .
I will never forget You. Always the Protector and Guide. 2014 wasn't a very long time ago when I reference to this moment. Memories will have to be enough to hold us closer to your life shared with us. My heart is truly broken. We shared so much...Take your rest Reginald. You fought well, my friend, my heart.
Reggie, we met 13 years ago. I guess you could say the timing was right. Those special memories of you will always make me smile, but missing you now will make me cry. You will forever be in my heart, until we meet again. Rest in peace my love.
