Today makes a year since you lost your fight and went home to heaven and let me tell you it's been one hell of a year. I am sure you have been looking down and seen what has been going on and the suffering that some like sis has been going through. I am glad and happy that you are no longer hurting and suffering but I miss you so much and wish that you were still here with us but I know that you are where you need to be and we need to except it. I love you like a brother and will always miss you take care of the rest of the family and I will be seeing you again.

Happy Birthday Bubba I love you and I miss you so very much

My Friend, my Buddy you are very much missed . We cannot see you , but we know where you are and always watching over us. LOVE and MISS YOU.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUBBA...LOVE AND MISS YOU VERY MUCH..

Me and Logan stopped by to visit you and Wendi yesterday still can't believe you are gone. We talked with you guys for a few and Logan left you a little gift he felt you needed I hope you liked it. You are missed so much buddy. I know you hate to see how much everyone is suffering without you but I know you aren't suffering anymore. Tell everyone I said hell and I love them and I love you please keep an eye out for the ones left behind.

It's been two weeks since we had to watch you take your final breath everyday I want to call sis ask her how you are feeling and what you and Byrd are into today. Old habits are very hard to break, I miss you very much but I know you are not suffering anymore. It will eventually get easier on the ones you left behind but until then watch over us and send your love down daily to keep us strong

It has been over a week since you left me. Your wake was so nice. You looked so good and they did a great job. But...they had a wonderful model. Saying good bye on June 3, 2015 was the hardest thing that I ever have done. I know that you no longer hurt, but, I miss you so much. Your wishes for masonic funeral was carried out and they did such a great job. U had over 300 visitors because everyone thought the world of you!!! I sat here and stair at your chair. Chloe sits in it a lot. She is sleeping on your side of the bed. She misses you too!!!!  I love baby to the moon and back!!!!!!!

Stopped by to visit you yesterday it had been a week since you left us seems like forever. Just wanted to tell you how much we all miss you and love you.

LOVE YOU BUBBA....MISS YOU <3
