You and Auntie Cynt never gave up on me and for that I will always hold you dear in my heart. I hope I've made you both proud. ❤
I always saw myself as your +1 daughter and you never treated me any differently. The pop up visits, weekends, overnight and not once did either of you said a word.
I will forever remember the good times shared. I know your doing your signature dance and smiling down on us.
Love you always and forever,
Bucky

I'm sitting in my truck think of you at this moment brother. I miss looking in your face everyday. I miss stopping by every morning before work. I miss seeing the smile on your face when I walk in every morning and hearing you say there you go I been waiting for you ,before we do my bath let me get a smoke in first. I miss hearing you say be safe out there today and hold it in the road. You always asked me every evening I got off how was your day. I will forever hold onto our precious...
