"He was an absolute gem of a person, full of life, love, laughter, curiosity, integrity, and joy," Sufjans wrote. "He was one of those rare and beautiful ones you find only once in a lifetime — precious, impeccable, and absolutely exceptional in every way."
苏菲洋写道：“他是一个绝对的宝石，充满了生命、爱、笑声、好奇心、正直和快乐。”。“他是你一生中只有一次的罕见而美丽的人之一——珍贵、无可挑剔，在各个方面都非常出色。”
The 48-year-old singer continued, "I know relationships can be very difficult sometimes, but it's always worth it to put in the hard work and care for the ones you love, especially the beautiful ones, who are few and far between. If you happen to find that kind of love, hold it close, hold it tight, savor it, tend to it, and give it everything you've got, especially in times of trouble. Be kind, be strong, be patient, be forgiving, be vigorous, be wise, and be yourself. Live every day as if it is your last, with fullness and grace, with reverence and love, with gratitude and joy. This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it."
这位48岁的歌手继续说道，“我知道感情有时会很困难，但付出努力和照顾你爱的人总是值得的，尤其是那些美丽的人，他们很少。如果你碰巧找到了那种爱，就要紧紧抓住，紧紧抓住，细细品味，照顾它，付出你所拥有的一切，尤其是在困难的时候。要善良，要坚强，要耐心，要宽容g、 要有活力，要有智慧，做你自己。把每一天都当作最后一天来过，带着充实和优雅，带着崇敬和爱，带着感激和喜悦。这是上帝创造的日子。让我们为此感到高兴。”
