“As I take my final breaths and exit this living earth, I would like to apologize to everyone I let down. I am so sorry I could not be better.

“Please understand that me leaving is not a reflection of you, but the result of my own inability to turn myself for the better. To Ashley, Cynthia, Regine & Sophia. I am so sorry. Please remember me for the good memories we have shared, and never for my downfall. I will see you all again on the other side.”
