It’s been a month since you’ve been gone and I’m thinking of you constantly. Me and the boys miss you like crazy Braxton was carrying a picture of you around and giving it kisses saying “I love you Gaga”. It breaks my heart that you’re not here with us. I wish there was something I could’ve done. You were an amazing husband. You were my best friend, my soul mate, I seen us growing old together. The best father to our boys. You loved them so much and it showed. You were an amazing person...

Skyler was one of the greatest men I know he was always there for me and he always watched out for me. I’m so sure he will continue to do so upon his passing he will watch over each and every one of us. Skyker was a wonderful father but now he will be the greatest Gardian Angle for his wife and kids I will forever love and miss you Rock until we meet again rest easy
