This is pretty silly, but I have an unread PM from Nate in my SKMB inbox, it's been there since we lost him. I know what it says, because the message came through in an email alert, but I can't bear the thought that I'll never get another one from him again, so I just leave it there unread.
When I log in... it shows me that it's there in my inbox. (1)
It helps me to feel like he's still kind of here.

Oh, this breaks my heart, Flake.

As others have said, I remember him for his carefully chosen words on the board. Always insightful and fun. I've never met him but I am so saddened when I see his name on the postcard. I clearly remember losing my breath when Ms. Mods post announced his passing.

And to all that worked on the wonderful book that was sent to his memorial, Thank you. If I've missed it - does anyone have a picture of this?

The board was closed on the anniversary of your passing, it's unbelievable that you've been gone for 3 years now.
I miss you still and remember you in the music I listen to, the people I talk with (you would be so happy to know that your dad is enjoying much better health these days) and every-time I see someone cruising on their motorcycle, I think of how much you loved this.

Continue to rest in my peace, my friend. :love_heart:
