10 years have passed by and still I cry for you the love of my life. The memories always bring me peace and give me the strength to move forward
I hope you can see your grandsons and what great young men they have become. And I hope you can keep Jesta safe.

Hope you and Dad are watching over Jeff and baby Phillip. It will soon be 7 years since you passed to the other side, but I still miss you. I pray for you everynight and ask God to let you know how much I love you and will always love you! Thank you for making my life! Faithfully. Love, Denise

Paw. I love you and I miss you. I will always hold close to my heart all the fun times we shared. Wish you were here. Love, Shane

To the love of my life, two years since you left the hole in my heart. Life will never be the same and I find myself awaiting the time we are joined again forever. As Tom Petty sings. "the waiting is the hardest part". If nothing else, know that I love you forever.

Bud,
I love you more than you can ever imagine. You were the one and only love of my life. You were the most handsome man, except when you were screaming. I just long to hear your voice, to kiss your lips, to smell your hair and the diesel fuel at the end of the day. I’m not sure I can go on without you. Yes, I REALLY NEED YOU. AND YES I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT YOU.
I just need to know that you are OK. All I ever wanted was your happiness and your love.
It is a year and a half since you left me. I still cry everyday and I still want to awake from this horrible dream I am living without YOU. My soul is lost without you, I need you to make the balance in my life. I am bitter and nastier than a snake (as you always said). Life just seems so empty and so unfulfilling. I like to sleep as that is the only time I have a chance of dreaming about you. I thought you were my reason for being on this earth, now I’m not sure what my reason is.

Dear Mr. Elwell, I never had the honor to meet you but your daughter is my best friend and I will do everything in my power to be a good friend and sister to her and help her watch over the boys no matter what!! She says Lu is a little you. Rest in peace sweet man. They all miss you so much every day, especially Denise. I feel like I know you as Jesta and the boys channel you in so many ways! You left them too soon but you have left your mark on them! Thank you for bringing such wonderful people into this world!
Sincerely,
Jennifer Rumig

Ps, your birthday was 20 years before and one day after mine and I promise to Be the best friend I can to them and watch over them the best I can, with George's help of course.

Dad,
I don't know where to begin. In my mind I pretend I'm writing this and your still here. You were my best friend ( at times my only friend ). I knew no matter what I managed to get myself into, you would always come to my rescue. I became so content in that fact that I never imagined what I would do if you weren't. I never planned for a good bye, I never thought there would be a day when I couldn't call you , if even for a second. You showed me unconditional love, and I knew everyday I could count on you. You and I had our moments and at times argued over stupid things, but even in those moments I knew you loved me and would do anything for me. I still am lost everyday without you. You left such a impact on everyone's life you touched. You were funny and loud and everyone was drawn to you , kids ,animals , you name it. I will never be the person I was before you left us, I will never for one second forget your voice or the sound of your laugh, or you just yelling "jesssss" . I still listen for you calling my name, but silence is always the response

I was so happy when Buddy & Denise agreed to be our Danny's God parents.
I think Buddy also helped form James' love for music.
Love & miss ya Bud
