“Amir had the most infectious smile and was loved by so many.
“He was a giant spark of energy who would make anyone laugh.
“His departure has left so many heartbroken and our lives will never be the same.
“The hardest thing is knowing that I will never see Amir again and all those plans we had together will never happen.
“We all miss you so much Amir and every minute of the day we are thinking about you and how your life was cruelly taken.
“You will forever be in our hearts wherever we go.
“Written by your companion, brother, and best friend, Afzaal Hussain.”
