Dear Raquel, I am never going to forgive myself for not checking to see if you'd replied to my last message to you in 2017. I really wasn't expecting you to see it. I went on the site tonight and saw you'd replied and told me to track you down on facebook. I did, and now I'm utterly devastated to find you're gone.
You were always so kind and so warm. It didn't matter how much time passed, we always reconnected so effortlessly and always had so much to talk about. I've often thought of you over the years and talked to Dillon about you.
I was lucky to have known you. I guess writing this is pretty pointless, but I just need to put out into the world how much you meant to me as a friend and how much it hurts that we'll never get to catch up again.
I love you,
Issy
