I've known Sheldon since 2001, when he happened to be sitting in my living room! It's a long story of how he got there, but we got along immediately and became very close friends. After graduating from Undergrad, we continued to stay in touch long distance. Little did I know that our fate would have us living in the same city again (Cincinnati). Through the years I have come to truly respect Sheldon. He is an affectionate and loyal friend. He has always been there for me, through thick and thin, offering advice and teaching me how to be a calmer person. He had indeed become my best friend. Although he often confided in me, I do wish that he had felt he could do so about this last decision in his life. Sheldon -- wherever you are, I hope you have found some peace. I will miss you with all my heart.
