21 Mar 2025Tabby and I have been friends for about 5 years now at first we just talked when we passed by one another but then with time we became really close we have had our talks about what she wants in life and what I want in life honestly while typing this to her family I’m getting emotional I would say we became close like best friends would consider each other,she would call me and ask.me to.come pick.her up na d just sit there with her even if we didn’t say a word after picking her up right now I can’t begin to tell your family and her children how much sympathy i have for your family and I’m deeply saddened as well she deserved so much but sadly I was unable to provide that for her but anytime she needed a shoulder to cry on or simply a listening ear to listen I gladly provided that but please this is to the entire Barr family some people say give it time it gets easier with time,from the bottom of my heart after loosing my sibling/best friend its been almost 3 years this year and them people are straight liars the more time that passes and every holiday passes it get that much harder and I literally pray for your family to just have the strength to just remember her what I do for my sibling is simply sit a empty chair with a empty plate where they normally set around the table and always keep them.in our prayers.MUCH LOVE AND SYMPATHY FOR YOUR FAMILY AND IF ANYONE NEEDS ANYTHING AT ALL PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND LASTLY TAKE ALL THE TIME YOU NEED TO PROPERLY GREIVE BECAUSE I ALSO K OW HOW AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL MY FRIEND WAS AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL
