We were just making plans, you were just making jokes, we were just daydreaming about Europe together. It’s so hard to process, to think that there won’t be a next time. "There’s such a void. I know deep down you know that. You know we loved you so much and always wanted the best for you, the same way you wanted it for everyone else. I’m going to miss you, your smile, your texts, your dancing so so so much." <img class="size-full wp-image-1263200707" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/03/Screenshot-2023-03-15-at-12.06.00.png" alt="" width="1360" height="560" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Instagram]] Another said: "I met you many years ago in NY. You never failed to bring an up beat energy every time I saw you. We never know what people are really going through. I will use this as a reminder to ask people how they are more even when they seem happy on the outside. RIP Jeff." <img class="size-full wp-image-1263200708" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/03/Screenshot-2023-03-15-at-12.06.34.png" alt="" width="1346" height="398" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Instagram]] A third penned: "Hey Jeff I love you till the end of time My brotha from another’s motha.
