I'm still here. It's been twelve years since a piece of trash took your precious life. And even worse is the fact that, it's been 12yrs., where is that piece of trash? 12yrs and the cops still can't find a crackhead. I'm so angry. I love you my friend.

Well we may meet again sooner than anticipated. My breast cancer has returned, stage 4, metastatic. I'm not afraid, I've had a wonderful life. It's just an evolution ♥️. I'm so glad you are a part of my greatest memories.

Thinking of you today.We bought a 1973 lincoln continental mark iv. A month ago. When my husband brought me to see it all I could think about was your big ass hoopty you had at the Corner Cafe., how we would all load up and go to Tommy's. And I told him about the day a bird shit on it and it was so big I took a picture. Youll always be in my heart. Our whole gang will.

I love you and miss you. So, ya know Sandy died and mom shot herself cuz she couldnt bear the COPD any longer. They were both cremated and are now two giant, potted, crepe mertle plants on my porch. Everytime I here GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS I clap my hands and think of the birthday dance at the corner❤. Sandys oldest , Audrey, had a little girl that just turned one and Dalton has a boy and a girl but hes not with the "baby mamas" . he moved in with use to try to get his life together. I guess I have continued your work of taking in the "baby birds". Although mine arent really half naked female birds lol! I really miss ya John. I seen an article about Tommys diner the other day, i couldnt believe it! Hes still there and at it. Man some good memories there. I wonder how Ill meet you in my next life? Will we just be friends?

Happy birthday wherever u r my friend. I remember when I would be upset about something stupid I did or someone said I did and you would always say to me," well, if that's the worst you've done today, then your doin pretty good" it always made me feel better. You never judged me. I love and miss you. Now when I hear others problems, I share your words with them. You are in my heart always.
