I’m not quite sure if there’s an afterlife, but I’d like to believe that if there is, then you’re in the good place. You were one of the kindest people I’ve ever encountered in my life, and I’m so blessed to have known you. It’s one thing to be as talented and intelligent as you are but to be as humble as you are??!? Unheard of. You really lived your life the fullest, and I’m so sorry you didn’t get to live it out as much as you wanted to. We’re all missing you so much right not and I promise I’ll never forget you or the times we had in Chile.
