To my beloved Al,

You have meant so much to me over the past three years. You have given me so much love and companionship as well as experiences I will never forget. I want you to know that you have a special place in my heart that will remain there forever. I want to write about the first time I saw you, hadn't even met you yet, and your smile lit up my world, I could not take my eyes off of you and your vibrant energy, I was immediately attracted. Our next adventure was when you took me to Castle Peak on your sled, it was my first time on a snowmobile. You were not thrilled about getting stuck, I was just ecstatic about being in all the deep snow. You launched a 30 footer and just nailed it, then I helped you build a jump and I got to see you in action on your skis, this was definitely one of my all time favorite days. I am so glad we saw each other Saturday night, we played phone tag a bit and it never seemed to work out but when I saw Miles I knew you were not far behind, you looked happier than ever and better than ever, we finally got to spend some time together, just being around you made me feel that special way you always made me feel. I hope you saw how my eyes always lit up whenever I saw you. I had always seen us together in the future after we each had grown up a bit, I was just waiting to see what your next accomplishment was going to be because you always did everything 100%. I am very sad you are gone, I truly love you and and always have. You mean a great deal to me and have made me who I am today. What we had could never be replaced, I will cherish it until my end here. My heart will always be with you, I have been blessed to have known you.

I love you Al.  Kaitlyn
