To Brittney Peters, it seems just like yesterday she and Ryan C. King and their friends were all hanging out and goofing off in the neighborhood.
“I bring myself to tears when I think of all the fun memories we had. I wish there could have been one last goodbye, there are so many things I would have said. Thank you for the memories...
