Roman impacted my life as a young one. When I first met Roman was during quarantine. I spent time with him and ivy during then. I quickly seen the relationship him and Ivy held first hand. We made tiktoks, shared funny stories, and played Roman’s favorite games on the gaming console. When one game got old, we moved onto the his next favorite. Roman was the little brother you never wanted to stay away. When you hung with Ivy, you were blessed to hang with Roman. During the covid lockdown days Roman often called me on the phone to ask me if we can please play fortnite and stay on the phone while we did. I still have our messages of him asking me to please play .. I always did, and would always ask when he was going to see me again. As me and Ivy prepared for college it was hard for us 3 to reconnect again. Roman never failed to shoot me a text saying he really missed me and wanted to know what I was doing that day to see if we could make a plan to all hang out. I will surely miss those goofy text from him. Whether it was him just wanting to catch up to him making sure to tell me good night. He always loved telling me happy birthday randomly to just put a smile on my face when he knew it was not my birthday. That kid was something special. It took one time for us to meet to know how truly special he was. Him through the media with that bright smile is just a small glimpse of what he brings to your heart in person. Mr.Ryan, and Mrs. Simone, ya’ll have so much to be proud of. When I have kids one day, I pray for my kids and myself to do just as Roman did. I never thought someone younger then me can impact me so much. Ivy+ Roman I will forever let people know what special bond you two had. I admire that so much and will carry those smiles everywhere I go. Thank y’all for allowing me into y’all house during quaratine and making unforgettable memories to last a lifetime. I am going to miss you so much Ro. The peace knowing we will meet again some day warms my heart. Love y’all ❤️
