The nightlife in Weho. Companion. Laughter. Good times. Don’t ever think that we are not all Interconnected [sic] in this time and space in West Hollywood. Some of us don’t have biological families anymore . So we created family. Caesar – you did that. You created a family. And we are broken hearted at losing you and wondering why? RIP. We grieve for you deeply. We care for one another now. And the City weeps.”
