Matt & Nancy
My heart still aches for you both since the day y'all were called to be Angels. I miss your smile & laughter. The boys remember when Momo & Popo would take y'all to get videos for the 5 boys at their house when y'all were little. When y'all got older y'all would get together and play video games on the weekends at Yolies or someone's house. We all miss you & we miss your bbq cooking.
I think of y'all always. Miss & love you both so much.
I love y'all.

I think about you and Nancy every day. Thinking of how you two would be...We miss you every day. I believe our hearts are healing, but healing doesn't stop the memories from running in our heads or wishing we could hear the sound of your laughter. I wish just one more time I could hear you laugh or tell me another stupid joke...

I miss you
Love you

You Know Who

February 11, 2011

The days do not get easier, but they become tolerable. We sometimes think of you constantly and relive the hardest week of our lives. I know you are happy in Heaven, you assure me in my dreams..But reassurance does not take away the pain or fill the missing piece in our hearts...We love you and we miss you soooooo much...

Shelli, GG, Trish, and Byron.......
There are no words to comfort you at this time....none.
These two "loves" were destined long before time, to meet and fall in love.
GOD, our Father, also wrote the date and time HE wanted this beautiful Love to go to heaven, and perhaps help send some Love to this earth. All I heard about this couple was love, love, love.
How wonderful that you all were a part of this beautiful, short life. What perfect love.....
GOD bless you all and give you Love,
Amiga,

I will forever and always miss you. Your memory will be with me in my mind and heart forever no matter where i go or what I do, on deployment or home... I am heart broken and still completely in a state of shock. I really wish I had atleast one chance to see you this last visit home. You were the fifth and youngest of the "Boys". A void in my heart will always be left missing you when the four of us are together, knowing that we are one man down and that one of us is not here. Although we are cousins the five of us have a bond of brothers that we will never lose even through death. It is such a tragedy to lose you and Nancy, so young and with a future so bright. I will always be sad to know that i never had a chance to meet your wife to be. I love you both and I will see you again in my dreams and in the next life.

With all my love, tears and a broken heart...
