Of all of the people who left pre-jury, you were definitely the one person I hated to see leave the most.  Early on we gave each other our word to watch out for each other but towards the end of your time in the game communication was pretty difficult because you were so busy outside the game.  You already know that I have a lot of respect for you as you are a sweet, caring and giving individual.  We could not have had a better leader throughout our time at Jaburu because you were fair to everyone and I think everyone on the tribe really enjoyed you and wanted to stick around.  I wish I hadn't had gotten so paranoid early on because I do think that had I kept calm and not freaked out that you wouldn't have felt the urge to leave like you did.   But at the same time, the fact that you were willing to sacrifice yourself says a lot about your character and what type of person you are.  I wish I could say that I'd do what you did for someone, but I'm far too competitive and cutthroat to be able to do that and I really admire you for that quality.  You have a great heart and I really did play the second half of this game in your honor because you deserve to be sitting here in the final 39 just as much, if not more than I do.  You know I think the world of you and hope that we'll continue to stay close as you're easily one of my favoritest people ever.  Much love <3.
