Hi Buzz I GUESS THIS IS THE LAST TIME I CAN TALK TO YOU FOR A WHILE. IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE YOU LEFT US. A LOT HAS HAPPEN WHILE YOU HAVE BEEN GONE. SOME GOOD AND SOME BAD. THE GOOD THINGS ARE WE HAVE A NEW GRANDBABY. HER NAME IS HAZEL GRACE. SHE IS PICTURE PERFECT! I KNOW YOU WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HOLD HER AS MUCH AS I DO. SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE HER GRANGPA. POOR BABY. NOT REALLY, SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL. I THINK SHE IS THE BEST LOOKING ONE IN THE FAMILY. DON'T TELL ANYONE, THEY ARE...

Hi Dad,

Well this is coming to an end, just like everything else in this wonderful life. So I figured I would send you one last note. Missed you on Thanksgiving. Think about you everyday. Much Love from your son.

Happy Thanksgiving Buzz, I love you and miss you and think about you often. Things just aren't the same here without you and Art. I can't wait to see you both!!! Love you, my friend.... Fern

Happy Veterans Day Dad! Thanks for serving our country! You are always a hero.....Love ya much! Bummy~

To DAD: Well its been a year (and a day but who's counting) and I still think of you everyday and hold you close to my heart. Shianne and I are heading up to visit you today as I have something to tell you. She misses you and asked me the other day. "Daddy, where has Grandpa buzz been?" Made me want to cry. I Miss our talks and laughs. Love you always. We shall see each other again someday so save me a seat and tell Grandpa I said Hi! Love your son...

Hi Buzz, Just wanted to let you know that I miss you and not a day goes by I don't think of you. I know that you still watch over Linda and the kids. You are a good man and made a difference in alot of peoples lives.

Buzz,
One year today, and we all still miss you just as much today as the day we were forced to say good-bye!
And, not a day goes by that you aren't thought about, or talked about with humor and love...
Today is also 34 months that Abbi's been in Heaven, could you please give her a hug for us? And, take one for yourself too :) Lucky!

WE LOVE YOU BUZZ...
Always,
Becky, Alexsis and Demitria John
