Happy 40th B-Day my love. I would have thrown you a special b-day today. Instead, I brought you balloons and left you your candles. So many of us miss you today and every day.
I wish we could grow old together like we planned. It hurts that we can't. I want to. I really want to.
Hope ur looking down on me and know that I still love you.

It's not very Merry without you here with me... I am surrounded by my loved ones, but your absence is very largely felt... I hope Christmas in heaven is better than Disneyland!!! Come to me in my dreams tonight. Hold me... Dance with me... Let me smell you in my dreams...

Babe, u always wrapped our presents... So, tonight is the last night the kids and I will all be together... So, we had "Unwrapped Christmas in bed night" as Alicia & Ray S. grabbed target bags out my closet, placed them all around me on our bed. I went through bags and tossed the kids their gifts. We smiled and laughed enjoying our Christmas "present" while remembering our Christmas past... Bitter/sweet... But, we cherish the "sweet"... One day we will thrive again and all the tradition you instilled in us shall arise from the ashes. For now, It's "Unwrapped Christmas in bed night... Thinking of you and how you got us all our presents and wrapped them with love! We miss you Buff Tubbs. We miss the heck out of you..,
Forever yours,
Mrs. Buff Tubbs

My Loving Husband,
Life without you has me comparing everything to you. I finally watched a football game and enjoyed myself until I realized I was enjoying myself without you... It comes and goes... The guilt of being alive without you. I tell myself and others that I will be strong. That I CAN do this without you. I'm trying to make new plans than the ones we had together. I'm trying to THANK GOD for all the blessings around me... It's just so difficult without you.
I have a boyfriend who cares for me a lot, but I am not his #1 priority like I was in your life. You put me above all else because of how deep our love story was... It would take 5 boyfriend's to even try to keep up with you... So, I don't try. It's not fair. There was only one Buff Tubbs and you were ALL mine and I was ALL yours. That is so rare I don't even dream about finding another as loving as you. Instead, I'm hoping to find companionship because I am very lonely without you....
My life is so "busy" yet very "empty" without you and nothing fills that void. You are irreplaceable! Truly one of a rare kind. I miss you.
However, I'm doing my best to hold one for one more day...

My loving husband,
This morning was another difficult rise without you. Sometimes I think I can't get out of bed because of the huge pain in my stomache and in my chest. The tears flow so frequently that it leaves me breathless.
Buff, there has been so much change in my life since you went away. Losing you is by far the hardest change, but I also lost my favorite Facilities job. My money is so much less since you can't work overtime anymore. The bills are so much higher now that you are gone because I took in more people to live with me. I need them to help me get through each evening. Especially Richard... He has tried so hard to help me... He keeps me the most company and he tolerates my sadness. I love him so much.
My son and lil Daniel, they try to help too. They come home and stay here many nights of the week so that I won't be alone.
You would be so proud of our little girl. She is such a good mommy. I am truly proud of her. Our grand-daughter is beautiful. She is so tiny and she makes such cute faces. You would love her and I wish YOU were the one here to hold her... I really wish your arms could hold her....
Oh Buff, I wish you could come home for just one more day... Just one more day so I could lay in bed with you and never let you take your arms from around me.... I miss your hugs, your kisses, your touch... Im not fully satisfied in anyones arms but yours... It actually hurts more to be held by anyone but you.... It;s you I am still in love with... but, you are not here and I want it to stop. Buff, if there is a way that you can still help me one last time... Please ask God to take my pain away.... I can;t bear it. It has messed me up so bad... I'm barely hanging on... and I don't for how much longer I can do this without you... Please ask God to take my pain away like he took your pain away...
I'm supposed to be at work in two hours... It is so hard to stop crying and get it together in the mornings.

Your grand-daughter was born on May 15th. Her name is Audriana Raylene Florez. She is so tiny and pink... You would have immediately fallen in love with her. The first thing I asked her was if she met you in heaven before she came down to earth. For some reason I feel she said "yes".
I really wanted you there with me as I still want you now. I felt so alone as I was leaving the hospital. It was very hard to even walk through the doors of Kaiser... All I could remember was how we went there together, but I left without you.
I tried to enjoy the moment. Our grand-daughter was being born. I just couldn't conquor my sad emotions, but I did my best.
Yesterday she came home from the hospital. My compadre, Mondo, had a dream about you. That we were all here at my house in present day. You were BBQing and we were having some sort of family party. I suddenly got the answer to my question.
I had been asking, "Where are you?". After Andrea told me Mondo's dream I felt your presence and heard your voice. It was as if you were sending me a message. Like you were trying to tell me that I have been looking for you in the wrong places. That if I want to find you I need to look for you at home. That you are where you always were... doing whatever it takes to make it happen so that I could enjoy myself. You lived to make me smile. You used to tell me that all the time. That your goal in life was to make me the happiest woman alive... and you did that. I just wish you were here with me to enjoy MORE of our lives together. I miss you Buff.... I really miss you all the time....
Your Grand-daughter

I spent Easter without you babe. It hurt so much. People were doing there very best to keep me busy and entertained. I did keep busy and spent a good weekend with Rosemary, Rich's mom, and his family. Then, I also spent time with Joe and his family.
Buff, I remember when we would be so busy around any holiday trying to make it special for our children. Then, when we were all done and everyone was happy we would happily go into our bedroom and relax. I remember how you would let out a sigh of relief as your body hit the bed... How I would freshen up and then jump in bed right next to you with hugs, kisses, I love you and thank you...
This time it wasn't like that. I came home alone... to an empty room... and instead of a sigh of relief it was cry from deep within my soul in anguish for you.... I WANT YOU... JUST YOU....
But, I know in my mind that it will never be... You really are gone forever... and I hate it... I hate that you left me so soon... We had so much more to do... So many more plans that we had made together....
Well, babe... they tell me it's not healthy to cry all the time... but, really... I have no idea what to do without you. Sure, people love me and need me... but, only you had the time for me... Your life was all about me... taking care of me... making me happy... Only you had the time for me baby... It hurts to look at your picture, because I want you to hold me... and you can't.... Someday we will be together again... I miss you.

It's been a while since I've written you babe. So much has changed since you left my side. I was miserable for months. Then one day I think God realized it's too much for me. Ur loss is more than I can handle. So, he sent me someone babe to help me. He sent me someone special who knows exactly what I go through. I sometimes wonder if you whisper things in his ear because he treats me so sweetly just like you used to do. He's generous, kind and very attentive to my needs. You know him. He's a friend.
I wish you could be the one to hold me until I fall asleep... But ur gone...
Like the song says, "If U can't be with the one you love, Honey, Love the one ur with... Love the one ur with..."
I will ALWAYS love you. U were my life... See you soon.

Happy Valentine's Day.
Yesterday was so sad for me because all I could think about were all my wonderful memories of V-Day. My favorite is when you decorated my office with balloons, flowers and left a romantic card on my desk. You wrote in the card how you love me so much that everyday is V-Day for us. We lived such a blessed life that it always felt too good to be true. It was true. It was simply short lived.
Buff, I want you back so freaking bad. I know you cannot come to me and only I can go to you now. I wish I could come to you right now. I would have left earth with you! I wouldn't have let you go away by yourself... but, I couldn't go with you... Even though every day that I wake up I cry because I don't want to be here without you. You were my breath of life... Now, I feel so dead inside...
People try to bring me comfort, but nothing helps. You were my comfort. You were my everything... and now... you are gone. I miss you all day and every day... You are still my husband and I am still madly in love with you.

Happy Birthday.
We planted a tree in your honor last Friday on Barnes Court. Your friends and family were there. It was beautiful. On Sunday, your birthday, a few of us gathered at your grave site to sing to you...
It's been really hard without you. Today I put your pictures away. It hurts so much to look at your face. It used to bring me so much joy, but now.... It brings me heartache and misery.
I love you baby and always will. I'm having trouble coping with your loss...

Merry Christmas babe,
I really missed you on Christmas Eve. I got dressed up and looked very nice. I pretended you were in the room with me helping me get dressed like you always used to do. I pretended that you were happy and that you thought I looked pretty. I wanted you with me to go to the parties, eat the banquet and open presents. I wanted to take pictures with you and our family. I missed your presence so very much...
Christmas day was a little better... I still missed you deeply, but I was all cried out. I had an empty chair next to me at the dinner table. I pulled the chair close to me and pretended you were sitting next to me enjoying the pork roast & mashed potatoes...
It was very different without you. But, I made it through... Thanks to our good friends and family.
I luv you baby! I luv you!

Oh Buff,
I'm not doing to good without you guiding me so tenderly. I miss you so badly. All I can do is pace the house at night. Quite often I don't want to sleep alone... It hurts so bad not to be able to hug ur warm body at night... It hurts not being able to hold you or be held by you... Words cannot express my loss...
I try and keep myself as busy as possible to help take my mind off you. Sometimes it works, but often it doesn't. It's horrible not having you here for the holidays... You are not here to select our Christmas tree or to string the lights around our house. Ur not here to fix the leaking shower or the front door that won't close. Ur not here to help me grocery shop, mow the lawn or anything!
I cry so much without you by my side taking care of me.
I miss you too much today... More than yesterday... Probably even more tomorrow... Life is empty without you... You were MY life. When you died, I died too!!! We always said we were gunna die together. I just need to wait for my body to stop breathing... Then, I will be right next to you. I can't wait to see you again...
Still hopelessly in love with you...

Hey Buff I remember you always being at my cousion Eddie and Richies house all the time. You guys were like brothers, Always playing video games or back in the day Watching Richie and the other tarman boys breakdancing in the front yard. Then you met my Beautieful cousion Theresa and ended up making her the happiest girl that lived. Sad to know that your not here on earth, but happy to know that your House of Peace and love will always watch over Theresa and the family that will always love you for keeping them safe always and fovever. You will always been in my memories R.I.P.

To My Love, Buff Tubbs~
Today makes 3 months that I last kissed your face, heard your beautiful voice and we said our goodbye's. I hate that you are gone. I miss you so much and it only gets harder with each day that passes. We have never gone this long without telling eachother "I love you"... We have never spent this much time apart in our entire relationship.
I have so much more pain inside to share, but I can't focus on the pain because its too much and it takes me down... I need to encourage myself by remembering that this life is temporary. Heaven is the only place where we can be together forever.
So, today I will honor your memory and the life we shared. Thank you so much for marrying me and making me your family. I will always love you....
Until we see each other again... in a blink of an eye we will be together again... I can't wait to see you really soon.
Still deeply in love with you.

Hey my love,
Today is our furlough week off. I'm remembering how we looked forward to this week off. I still can't accept that you are gone. I miss you so badly. I dream of you and I see you everywhere. My bedroom is now the coldest room in the house. I hate sleeping alone... It's cold. With you in the bed it was never cold. U were always my heat source. I miss your body next to mine.
I'm trying to go forward and live life without you...but, it's not working... I'm so very lonely without you. Others try to comfort me, but it's not enough... It's you I need. It's only you I want.
I can't wait to see you again. Save me a place in Heaven right next to you... Until I see you again..
Mrs. Buff Tubbs

I went to the cemetery because I needed to be near you. I left you a card and a red rose. I laid my body on top of the grass face down. I wanted to be as close to you as I possibly could.
I told you how hard it's been these past two months since you have been gone... Very hard to enjoy life without you. The kids are all trying to take care of me, but only you could do it so wonderfully. God, I miss you so much that I can actually feel my heart shatter... You were my everything and I am STILL madly in love with you and always will be...
Forever missing you....

Today marks two months that we have been apart. We have never been apart this long from the first time we kissed. We never broke up! Sure we fought, but then made up. We knew we were in it forever.... Till death do us part.
Now, we have parted on this earth. You are gone and I am still here... Breathing.... And trying to walk through this hard journey so I too can find life again. You are living with Serena in eternity.... While Joe and I try to pick up the broken pieces and help our children do the same.
I miss you Buff Tubbs.... So much! The pain of your loss can feel unbearable at times. You were my everything and I feel your loss every second of every day, but especially at night when I go to bed alone.... Oh how I cry for you.... Every night and every morning when I wake alone without you.... I miss you by my side!
Until I see you again.... I'll be here missing you.

My dearest Buff Tubbs,
The other day I had an issue at work. I had been extra sad that morning but I still managed to get to work. I was working when out of the corner of my eye I saw a man approaching my office door. He was wearing an orange work shirt. For a split second my heart leaped. I thought it was you coming to visit me. when I realize that it wasn't you... And was never going to be you.... Well, my heart sank and your loss hit me all over again.
I broke down into tears and my afternoon and evening was horrible. The pain was unreal..... It was as if I just lost you all over again.
I am a bit better today. I was blessed with a financial gift and I finally purchased my iPad that I had been wanting. I know you would have gotten it for me for Christmas... So, thank you...
I luv and miss you Buff.... Only you... you are who I desired and wish so very badly that you could be here on earth with me.... Instead of me waiting to go home and be with you again...
Until we meet again in Heaven.... I will be here missing you.

Hi Babe,
I booked my flight to Reno last night for Superbowl weekend. I'm going with the usual group to the Peppermilll Superbowl party that you loved so much. I hope it's okay that I am going without you...
I really wish we could go together just like we did so many times before... But, we can't because you left to be with Jesus and I am still here stuck on earth without you.
You were my life... my reason for living... my joy... my happiness... Now... I don't know what to do and I am on so many strong meds that help me not feel anything... no pain... no joy... just emotionless so that I can function in life without you.
I miss you babe... I want us to go to Reno together and all the other places we had planned...
I'll take you with me, babe, wherever I go... you will be there.... with me in my heart and in my dreams.... Forever a part of me...
Your wife,

Buff,
I went to Teena's Halloween party last night. I missed you so much. I made a picture board of the party from 2009. We had so much fun that night, remember... I did my best to laugh, dance & enjoy myself... But, it was really hard without you as my date.
I wish we were still together, Buff!!!
I love & miss you.
Buffnt Forever!

Although I did not know you too well Chris, I do know that you were a very honest and sincere person. You were very giving and showed our family nothing but respect and love. Our entire family really enjoyed the time when we had the opportunity to be camping buds at Del Valle! We'll never forget when you pulled Keona around in the Kayak on the campgrounds-no where near water. I had a great time bonding with you and Teresa early mornings making breakfast and listening to your fav music. I wish you, Teresa, Ron and I could have made it to dinner together like we had planned. Bro, there will be many times that we will be thinking about you and all the things that we weren't able to do together as families. It seems so unreal to me that you are gone. I still don't grasp it. And for Khlowi Makayla to be born on the same day you left is unreal as well. You are missed. I will see you in Heaven Bro!
Love Your Sis, Charrise

Hi Babe,
I had a good day at work today & a decent nights sleep too... Finally... I took Alicia & Ray Flores to go & buy her a new car. 2009 Nissan Altima in silver. It's really nice! U would love it. We both missed U not being with us during this milestone event, but we carried you in our hearts...
Both Raymond's had job interviews but it turned out to be curvy vacuum cleaner sales... Oh well... I just hope God opens more doors of provision 4 these kids cuz without you to carry us it all falls on my shoulders... That's a big job for me without you...
With each day that passes I miss U even more... But time is also allowing me to function and cry less often... Living without you seems purposeless to me right now... I lost all my joy and energy. Nothing satisfies... Nothing takes my longing for you away... I mourn you everyday!
I'm going to try and get out of the house this weekend and go to the Lathrop Pumpkin Patch with the baby & the kids. I invited ur son. I hope he comes..
Things are down right now... But each day I rise... And I will try to carry on our life... Things are so different without you... But, I will try my best to live a happy & full life like you had planned for us...
I love you, baby...

Hi Babe,
I'm having another one of those nights where I wake up alone on the couch. The house is dark and the kids are asleep. I always told you "I love you", but babe.... I loved you more than I that!!! This pain from not having you alive with me hurts so bad. I think our love was greater than most people's love... Ours was beyond any kind of "normal" love...
My life sucks without you in it. How can I keep living without you???? I'm having a really bad night tonight!!!

Buff,
I spent the day & night at the Lopez's with TJ. Though we made each other laugh we also made each other cry with memories of you. It kills me that ur not home waiting for me... We rarely spent nights apart and now it's been over a month & the pain in my heart makes it hard to breathe...
I find myself just staring up at the stars wishing you would fall from the sky and land in my arms... Oh how I miss your loving arms around me... Oh how I miss my Buff Tubbs...

Buff,
Last night was another "first" for me. I went to Marryanne's Surprise 40th B-Day at Marty's house. It was the first party without you... I didn't dance... I just couldn't dance without you. Lot's of your favorite songs were played. I couldn't help but miss you all night long. I tried to laugh... but, there were times of tears.
Auntie Janice, Uncle Tiny, Tia Tia and Bill Barbosa made me laught A LOT... Jon drove the Manteca crew in Doddy's RV to the party.... Suzie and Mac where there dancing the night away. It was cool.... but, we ALL missed you so much.
Today is Sunday... I'm calling the kids to come home and watch football on your favorite toy... your TV...
I will try Buff... I will try to carry on... but, it is really hard without you... I wish you were still here right next to me... I will never love or want anyone else except you...

All night long my tears flood my bed.
My bed is wet because of my crying.
7 I'm so sad I can't see very well.
My eyesight gets worse because of all of my enemies.
8 Get away from me, all of you who do evil.
The Lord has heard my sobbing.
9 The Lord has heard my cry for his favor.
The Lord accepts my prayer.

Buff,
It's been 22 days since you have not been in our bed. I truly miss your company. You were hilarious! U made me laugh so often!! The kids too. That's what Alicia loved best about you. How U would spoil her and make her laugh!
I'm going to try to go back to work next week for a few hours. See how I do.
Buff, I promise I will laugh again. Don't be mad at me when I cry. I know how much you HATED to see me cry. Just give me a little mercy right now. I promise I will find my joy in all circumstances... The word will sustain me. Our church is just waiting for me to reach out...

Im still supprised that you are gone and will not be at our our next poker night with your bag of M&M. That the plans we made for camping next year you wont be there to have KIKI try to make you pull her around the grass in the kayak. but you will be there in our memories every time we go from this point on. I am greatful that the last 3 years we have had that time to camp go to dinner ,play poker,fish,spend time at rally getting to know each other and having you guys over for our family BBQ's and just talking at the last couple soft ball games. In a way i will always have thought of you for all that and the fact that the morning you passed my Daughter was born! I know you are blessed in heaven !!!!!!!!!

Buff,
I did it. My first night going to bed alone and waking up alone... Without you by my side. I won't lie... I cried myself to sleep and I awoke trembling as I realized you were not there next to me and that I was alone in our room.
I made it through my first night without you. There will be lots of "firsts" to come as I try to live life on my own. For whatever reason every morning the Lord gives me the breath of life. I wish I could share some of mine with you... but, I can't.
I am still alive and I must do my best to live my life in a way that honors your memory...
I am proud to be Mrs. Buff Tubbs.
Thank you Buff. Thank you for everything... you were the greatest man who ever lived and you choose me to be your woman.... Thank you....

Chris, "Buff" I knew you briefly in school and met you occasionally as I would run into my good friend Teresa. I never heard a negative word about you. I know that you were a great husband and father and mentor to the extended family you and Teresa created. You and Teresa loved everyone, and you will be missed by many. It was a pleasure knowing you.

The Chris I knew will forever be in my Memories and HEART. Everytime I saw you walk into to church, you were so reserved but their was a spark in your eye. The times we shared fishing,camping,playing poker and hanging out at the motorcycle rally's the night before. You were always willing to SHARE what you had. it was your way of serving. Thank You Bro for those times we got to talk about life, kids,work, and the WORD. Great is your reward. What an awesome promise that i will see you face to face on the other side. You truly left an IMPACT on family and friends.

I miss you more than words can express. I don't know what to do with myself. I feel so lost without you.
Thank you for loving me. U were the love of my life and I will cherish our lives together.

It's been 14 nights that you and I have been apart and it's been difficult. As usual, I had people spend the night. Last night I slept on your side of the bed... On your pillows. I even put my body in the dent that you made in our mattress. The dent is not as deep anymore now that you are gone..
Though I still miss you badly, I actually slept last night. I'm still waiting to dream about you... But, at least last night my many wonderful memories were not as painful. I plan to come visit ur grave today so I can be closer to you. You were my world. Now, I've got to figure it out.. What to do with my life without you..
Luv & Miss You,
Mrs. Teresa Tubbs

Life seems so empty without you in it. Everyone tries to help, but nobody can. Only you coming back to me will ease my pain... Or me coming home to you... I miss your arms, your kiss and everything else about you... U were my everything.

Chris you were one of the best guys that ever existed. I am so grateful to you for allowing my aunt to do something so outrageous as to search for her 23 year old nephew, whom you knew absolutely nothing about, and openly accept me in to your guys' family. One of the best things I've done in my life is to answer the phone when my Aunt Teresa called instead of ignoring the call like I had really wanted to do. You guys had no clue as to the kind of person I was, what kind of stuff I was in to, or anything like that. That is why I've come to realize that I love you, man. As much as I love my Aunt Teresa I love you as well for making it possible for us to be so close. I love you for Mexico, Vegas, the many dinners and movies, but most of all I love you for making my Aunt Teresa a happy woman...Rest In Paradise Chris, we all know you are there. - Richard Flores -

Chris and I also went to John Muir and Sunset together. He was a solid homie. I haven't seen him since HS and was stunned when I heard the news of his passing. It warms the heart to know someone you grew up with turned out to become a real man and also a man of God! Teresa I am so sorry for your loss and my prayers are with you and your family.

Chris and I went to elementary & high school together. I was and still am in total shock over his passing. I heart and prayers go out to his loving wife, children and family. Chris was & still is a great man who was very giving. I saw this first hand when he came to a fundraiser we were having for my son. We hadn't talked in many years but he was there for me & my family and I'd like to be there for his. Stay strong Teresa. With Sympathy

I still can't believe you're gone! I still remember seeing you come in the back door at Ed & Teresa's, all quiet, you'd come/go to the restroom and POOF, you'd disappear. I used to wonder, who is this guy? Who knew that later down the line that ur wife would become one of my best friends. And that we'd be such great camping buddies. Next summer, we will have to dedicate our 1st trip to you. Teresa & I will take over the camp leader position & carry on your tradition. I have such respect for who you are and the help that you gave to me. All those who love you & Teresa, will take care of her as long as she needs. I'm so sad to you go! Love you BUFF N T!

My Dearest Teresa,
No words can express how sorry I am for your loss of a great man. I didn't know him very well but your words and the words of everyone that spoke at the service were beautiful. Please know that you are in my prayers and I will be there for you ANYTIME.

Via Con Dias Uncle Chris. We love and miss you so much. I sit here with many fond memories and what comes to my mind is how much you loved your wife, children and what a good man you were. Every time we saw you you had a smile on your face. I know that you are now smiling upon us from heaven.

Christopher, I read this poem the day after I heard about your leaving us and all I can say is I know your grandparents and Uncles Tedd and Sheldon were there to meet you----Love, Aunt Lorrie
The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning that God
Was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone;
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide;
And though we can not see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

Chris, words can't describe the sorrow I have. You were in my life there for a little over 2 years back on Tarman. Out of all the Tarman boyz, you were always the quiet one. I will always stay true to your sister, we will see eachother again, I'm kinda jealous that you are with our King before me. :) I'll be seeing you Buff, Sunnye
