We had the greatest relationship together. I was a great friend to you and you definitely were a great friend to me. When i seen you in the hallway i remember you said ” Go Tiyona.. Looking like a kingsize bag off skittles”.. lol :D… You Always did know how to brighten my day.. I am really going to miss you Tyler. I Will Never Ever Forget You! You really meant a lot to my Tyler.

“Song: In the Garden * I come to the garden alone * While the dew is still on the roses * And the voice I hear, falling on my ear * The Son of God discloses * And He walks with me * And He talks with me * And He tells me I am His own * And the joy we share as we tarry there * None other has ever known * He speaks and the sound of His voice * Is so sweet the birds hush their singing * And the melody that He gave to me * Within my heart is ringing * And He walks with me * And He talks with me * And He tells me I am His own * And the joy we share as we tarry there * None other has ever known * I’d stay in the garden with Him * ‘Tho the night around me be falling * But He bids me go; through the voice of woe * His voice to me is calling * And He walks with me * And He talks with me * And He tells me I am His own * And the joy we share as we tarry there * None other has ever known * “
