“When we met all I needed was a ride. It's been the best ride of my life since then. Our love was one of a kind and it was true. We started at the bottom and worked our way to the top. You were my king and I was your queen. I love you with all my heart and soul. You were my best friend, my ride or die. I will always love you with all my heart and soul. Rest well my love.”
