From Alexandra Tyler

Augie, I miss you so much. It’s been over two months since you left us and the shock is still wearing off. I will never understand why you left but all I can say is that I hope you’ve found peace. You’ve left a hole in all of our hearts that will never heal. I can only now start to try and formulate how I feel. I thought that we would continue to grow up together and experience adulthood together. I wanted you to know my future and to know yours. I always knew you would be an amazing dad, uncle, role model and I am sad for those, who aren’t even born yet, who won’t get to see you in that role. You have always captivated me. Anyone who knew you knew you were the best storyteller, you always put on a show. You could be difficult at times, but we loved you harder. I always admired your charisma and spirit and even when I was angry with you or felt hurt by you, I still wanted your approval and love. I always will. The last memory I have with you was January 2nd of this year. You picked me up from 19th St Bart after work and we went to my house. We caught up for an hour and drew together. I am so thankful for that last memory with you. I love you and miss you endlessly <3
