Not sure what to say?

DJ,

I'd be lying if I said I still don't think of you and miss you. I caught myself going back to high school on memory lane, and there you were...ready for anything.

So much time has passed and so many experiences have gone by, and I wish you were here to go through them with me, with all of us...

I know you've kept an eye out for me. There have been downright improbable things going on in my life that only a best friend above could make happen. Thank you for the all...

Happy Birthday DJ, I miss you and love you! I still think about you all the time, you are loved and missed by many!You would be proud to know that you have a new baby cousin, her name is Nila Faye, after your grandmother! Love you son, wish you were here!

Dear DJ -- I'm been working out quite a bit lately, walking/jogging on the track at our gym. I also lift weights, play some basketball, walk the dogs, do the stair-master at home and so many other things to get the blood flowing hard through that heart! I worked out especially hard yesterday, knowing how difficult things would be for your Mum. Thanks again for your generosity! It wasn't in vain....

Your sister turned 18 this year, and I know you are watching over her, George and Jeremy made sure they were there for her, Casey and Justine, Craig and lots of others....oh tiger I want to feel your arms so bad I miss you soooooooooooo much, I sat here last night waiting for you to come through the door just like I did the day you were pronounced gone...it wasn't real then, but it sure is now....
