   Not sure what to say but it’s always a sad day to hear when someone you know happens to pass. I didn’t know you well but you always seemed like a chill guy and seemed like a very big hearted person. You will be missed and I’m sure you have touched the lives of many people. May you find peace and may the Gods deliver you to your ancestors before you.
