R.I.P. Slim

May 17, 1983 – December 17, 2009

I never was able to get to know Chris but his death broke my heart for my old friend, his little brother, Marcus. Marcus and I became good friends a couple years back and I've always had a soft spot in my heart for him. Marcus was a friend to me when I really needed one. My father was just diagnosed with cancer and I had went through a bad break up with someone I really loved and Marcus was there for me; without knowing it. He was someone I could truly be myself around and he used to have me laughing til my stomach hurt. I also appreciated that I could talk to him about anything and he encouraged me to follow my dreams. I always got upset with people who judged Chris and his family without knowing them. Marcus is one of the sweetest men I know and I'm sure Chris was as well.
It broke my heart to see him on the news today. He looked so strong and I hope he is able to stay strong for his family. Marcus my heart goes out to you and your family. Time will heal you and Chris will always be with you. Miss you. Much Love. Sleep in peace Chris Henry; I will miss watching you every Sunday.
