ZELDA WILLIAMS SAYING WHILE I'LL
NEVER EVER UNDERSTAND HOW HE 
COULD BE LOVED SO DEEPLY AND NOT
FIND IT IN HIS HEART TO STAY, 
THERE IS MINOR COMFORT IN 
KNOWING OUR GRIEF AND LOSS IN 
SOME SMALL WAY IS SHARED WITH 
MILLIONS.
FROM LITTLE BROTHER CODY, THE 
WORLD WILL NEVER BE THE SAME 
WITHOUT HIM.
I WILL MISS HIM AND TAKE HIM 
WITH ME EVERYWHERE I GO FOR THE 
REST OF MY LIFE.
FROM HIS ELDEST CHILD ZACK, I 
LOST MY FATHER AND A BEST FRIEND
AND THE WORLD GOT A LITTLE 
GRAYER.

GAVE TO MILLIONS.

LEGACY, AND THEY ARE THE THING 
THAT CARRIES ON BEYOND YOU.
YOU GET TO SEE THE JOY
