RIP Reese Pursell...

I still cannot believe it is true.  I have lost so many friends to the same old causes, over half of the characters from my book are now gone.  RIP Reese....I just still cannot believe it.  I keep thinking about you, and I keep thinking about all the time we spent together in New Orleans.  I keep thinking about you, sitting in the big, blue chair at Big daddy's as we lamented over Jenny.  I see the pain on your face like a photographic memory.  Please tell Jenny hello for me.  I keep thinking about all the talks we have had since those times, and I still cannot believe it.  You know, when you told me you were honored by your character in my book it meant so much to me.  I wish I would have better expressed that to you.  I am honored that you memory will live on forever through all of us, Reese, and I am honored that you loved the Reese in my book, the Reese that you were, that we all knew you to be.  God damn, man...I fucking love you.  If I have anything to do about it, your memory, along with the memory of Junkie Johnny (which you and I talked about...) will live infinitely as my words will.  Remember when we talked about my finally naming that chapter in my book 'Junkie Johnny,' after I found out he was gone?  I wish I could name one after you now...I guess you will be featured in the next story...RIP dear friend.  I just cannot believe it.
