Continue to rest.

It´s your birthday month. I thought about you that day. Wow wondering what life would be like if you were still here. The anniversary of your death is just around the corner. It took me a long time to accept it. I can honestly say now when I´m driving on 94 west I can now look over at your old apartment and smile, so many memories there. It was a time I couldn´t even look that way while driving by, it was so hard. Anyway Troy, continue to rest my love. I will forever miss you.

I think about you often and I still tell everyone you were the best thing that happened to me and my son.Moved me from South Carolina to Minnesota thanks to the black biker round up for coming to South Carolina. I was 19 still young and homesick so I came home.Me and Karee went to my brothers house and we came across some of our pictures and he asked if I could goggle U and this popped up.I will never forget the day I called you and your father picked up and told me you were killed in a...

Troy I was thinking about you and pulled out our old pictures and it just made me smile. God put us in each other’s life for a reason and a few seasons and I was truly Blessed to have shared the bond and love we had. I told you when you were still here I would never forget you. Love you always.

Wow! Happy heavenly birthday Troy. Here we are almost 14 years later and I still miss you. You will be forever in my heart. I met you when I was just a young girl. We dated on and off for at least 10 years and sometimes our relationship became serious. You was the most kind person and thank you for loving the boys who are now 25 and 23 you wouldnt believe all grown up now. It took me some time to move on after your death. I was a real mess and although we broke up 2 weeks before you past we...

Bridget/ Ms. Lady: Your poem moved me girl. It was beautiful and I know that you wrote it from your heart. We felt your realness. Tina cried while she read it. I haven't heard from you in awhile, but it's good to know that you kept keepin' on. Troy was very lucky to have had you in his life. Take care Lady. Troy I'm lookin' up at you, Bra! You brought a beautiful friendship to Bridget through your friend Reeyce...Bridget told me that she has been a source of strength for her. Thank you Ms....

Wow, it's been a year since you left here, but never my memories and love for my dear friend. Sometimes it's hard to believe that you are no longer here physically and it saddens me, but I know that you are in a wonderful place with no hurt, worry or despair and that you and my mother are looking down on us and helping us be strong. You had a gang of people who loved you and still do and that in itself makes me so very happy to have been a long time friend of yours. You had such a wonderful...
