The Aksoy Family moved into a house across the street from my mom's house when I was a teenager. Nes and I struck up a conversation and became friends fast. We became roommates a few years later.

She had the best sense of humor. She was so witty. I had never met anyone so quick with humor, before I met Nes. She was one of the funniest people I ever met. Her big blue eyes and sense of humor lit up a room when she entered.

Our paths lead us in different directions. She lived in Orange County, and I moved to Los Angeles. However, we always remained good friends and saw each other often. Every time we'd get together, it was like we'd just seen each other the day before.

I feel so fortunate to have had such a beautiful person inside and out as one of my longest, dearest and best friends. I believe that Nes and I shared a bond that many people never get to experience in life.

She left this earth too soon, and it's extremely painful not to have her presence in my life. However, I thank God for bringing her into my life and giving us the love and friendship we shared while she was on earth.

Nes I miss you. You were such a good friend. I wish I could have spent more time with you.
