"It’s so weird that we all tweet, retweet, reply and quote each other so much that we feel like we know each other. We forget that we haven’t even met in person. And when that person we’ve had a twitter kinship passes, a little something in us hurts #RIPLumkoJohnson

"Lumko would have wanted me to post a funny memory right now and roast them a bit because that was our thing whenever we were together but it hurts man. Rest easy, my friend. #RIPLumkoJohnson"
