Soup you are one of my best friends man I love you like my brother and will always keep you in my mind. We have been buddies since the days of diapers. I can still remember mom bringing me over to play in Pennsgrove when we were five or so. You fought the hard fight and kept on fighting. Glad you were doing good in the end that's something I'm proud of for you. I knew you could. Told ya so lol how many times they said we couldn't and we proved em wrong man. We made it to the top and did it from the bottom. Against all odds right lol you know. They are scratching their heads reading this I'm sure but we always liked it that way. Love ya man more than words can say. I'll miss the phone calls good or bad I'll miss em all man. Like we said many years ago until death do us part. Well it has and now it's until we meet again. Tell all the boys hello and give my baby girl a big hug and tell her a couple stories about the good old days. Many we had many. Peace be with you and may bod open his arms and welcome you into his house brother. Love always your shipmate Barry Ayers brother forever
