For so many laughs, so many Mates and unending chats. You were like family for us. I can't tell you how much, so very much, I'm going to miss you and your amazing family. Thank you for everything! Let's hope life keeps giving us moments [to spend] together and I'm sure we'll see each other again soon! I love you, your [family].All the best with this new step."
