Not sure what to say?

Some of your "words of wisdom" were ringing in my ears tonight. 17 years since our last conversation & emails, 17 years of wisdom I've gained from life's lessons and I wish I could have just one more of our talks. We always kept it real & thats hard to find now days. Miss you - visit me sometime, you know where to find me.

There are so many times where I think about what you´d have to say about the current state of the world and it always makes me chuckle. Then I think of your jack-in-the-box impression and I start to laugh out loud. I miss those moments more than you know. Miss you man.

Tre.....I miss you, Bro. Sometimes more than others. I can't believe it's been more than 16 years that's passed since you left. Seems like a few months ago. Sometimes I feel like I can almost talk to you. That you're that near. Then there are times of crushing grief, because I know you have truly moved on from this life. I don't cry for you. I cry for me. I cry for what I've lost. You were always a big deal to me. You still are. For Mom's sake, I wish you would have been the one in...

There were still so many words unspoken... just know that you have never been forgotten and always in my mind. There are still many situations in which I think about conversations we had and I wish that I could just talk to you again...

Hey Bro, you cross my mind today.Just was thinking how you were a student of military history and how we ran into eachother in the Netherlands.I'll keep that location between us.Continue to rest in heaven bro.

No matter how long it's been you will truly be missed Bro! Watch over us SGT! HOOAH!

I miss ya bro, I think of you often as I have a picture of you and a statue of a Soldier in the room with all of Eltons military items from over the years. I love and miss you dearly and so very sorry you weren't here to see your nieces grow into young women. I have three grand kids now aswell so life is full. Prayerful that the whole family is in a good way. Blessings always
