Buzzy - you can't imagine how much I miss you. My heart is broken without you, you were and are my heart. I know how much love we have for each other and it will live on forever. The worst part is I long to hear your voice and touch you skin. I wait for the day I will be with you again. I will always remember our many talks and your bigs hugs and you saying mommy I love you!!! I know you want to be here with me and you are even though I have a hard time seeing you. I will always love you and will be with you always. Mommy

Hey buddy, I came across an old AP US history project we did together our jr yr. And dam bro although it was a college course we somehow found a way to incorporate spongebob haha well I jus wanted ta let you know I still think of all the crazy times we used to have. Those boring weekends where we would go out and jus mess around. We sure egged a lot of people during our reign haha. Whenever i see a red jeep or a white acura it jus brings back loads of memories. There was never a dull moment when i was around you.. We all miss you and love you a lot. RIP Buddy
