babes, today is the last day to write to you in here. i want to share some of my memories of you. this going to be hard to do cuz it brings back all those moments that i cherish so much. our first date was 3-6-09 which was also our first kiss. we had dinner at the tavern and went back to your place for drinks and adult time. it took you a month or so to introduce me to duffy, was kinda dreading my competition.but it worked out for the best. the first time and i will never forget this, you told me you loved me was up in stockton.of all the memories this one is my favorite. you didnt hesitate or beat around the bush about it. even in the pouring rain in the middle of the woods i could see it in your eyes that you ment what you said. you were not afraid to tell your friends. the months that followed were also filled with get aways... casino, bingo, camping,fairs,dinners, so much more. you were there for me when my mom passed, which wasnt easy for either one of us cuz you didnt understand the traditions, but still stood by my side.you converted me to a seasonal hunter, which was a task cuz of what my thoughts were on that. who in their right mind wants to run around in the woods chasing after bambi! well i do now thanks to you. got my gun,license,and made me take the hunting course, even tho i didnt have to. you even sat thru one of my classes.thank you for showing me what it really was about. i remember when you you asked me to move in with you. it was the night before hunting season opener, i went to see you at the cabin. when i left all i could do was cry cuz i wouldnt see you for a week( the longest we were apart). when i called you said you wanted to talk to me about that when you got home,you wanted me to move in. that was another happy time in our relationship.it went smoothly, that was on jan 6,2011.we adjusted to each other easily.i will never forget what you told me. you said " i want to spend the rest of my life with you". dam it ! why couldnt have been longer. i was moved in 3 months when you passed. you gave me the best memories in my life, i cherish those and i do share some stories with others.thank you for all the wonderful memories, that is something that no one can take away from me. it saddens me that this is my last entry, almost like closing this chapter of my life. i will always love you and think of you often, but more with a smile. may your travels bring you back to check on us. with all my love and miss you dearly ....mb

hey babes. been awhile since i wrote to you.been a busy past month.the kids had different things going with there school. glad its summer vacation. chassidy had her award ceremony and she got 4 awards. had tears in my eyes. they are growing up so fast.i havent seen your family in awhile, but assuming they are doing fine. miss them very much.well for the bad news. me and mandy were in a car accident today. 4 car pile up. it was like a chain reaction of rear ending. it happened on rt 5 near locksley park. no one was hurt. well i got a sore neck and back. had to call into work for 2 days.not sure how mandys truck is, had to have it towed.waiting to hear back from the insurance company.right now i just want to cry, but holding it in. i realize how we are lucky to be alive and have so much to live for. enough of that... my dad isnt doing well. it makes me sad to see him suffering and cant do anything for him.feels like my life is in a tail spin right now. wish it was dull and boring.way to much going on. oh on a happy note, my son won his case in child support court. that is finally over. well hun, going to go for now... love and miss you enormously. mb

Still think about you daily, you are always with me. the whole group dont seem to be the same since you left us. I think you were the glue that kept the whole show running smooth. i am more of a loner now than ever. i dont do much anymore other than go to the land or sit home.aaron is really going hog wild trying to get the addition on the cabin done.you would love it. by the way , tell chuck we all say hello and miss him too, are you guys watching over us and laughing at all the stupid things we do? I totally agree with karen about not being able to get out of the funk, I will visit you soon at your spot in the woods so we can talk. gotta go for now, your friend DUFFY

hey babes... well its the little things that keep popping up.i was cleaning out some old papers and i found an evelope with my name on it, was still sealed, so i sat down and opened it. it was a sympathy card from my sisters.when i realised what it was i just started bawling my eyes out. even sitting here writing this i am crying looking at your pic above my bed. i wish this pain would go away, but i fear at the same time i would forget you. sounds stupid, but thats how i feel. our life was so good and you were the best there was, i dont want to let that go. stupid me was listening to garth brooks again. when that song came on i sat there and thought yes he did. but i am still not at peace with it yet. if you were suffering you didnt show it, so i cant say that at least he's not suffering anymore. i'm trying to argue with myself over this. i thought that i knew you well enough to know if something was wrong, unless you hid it even from me. i was so angry about you leaving me last week that i started punching the wall. the only thing that came from that was a sore fist. no, it didnt make me feel better.well babes gonna sign off for now love and miss you soo much......mb

babes...what does one say today? my thoughts were running wild about you. hard to believe that it been one year. my love for you is still very strong, like we were.went to the cabin on saturday, me, shell, aaron, peter, duffy, dennis, steff, and the kids. we toasted you with a shot of absolute. if i was thinking i would have gotten your marinea(ever how you spell it). going to the homested tonite to remember you & have another drink for you.as i sit here and think of all the time we spent togther, my fondest was us just sitting over our coffee and just talking.traditionally this is my last day of mourning,hope you understand if it goes awhile longer. you were my life,my love,my everything.im living day by day, learning how to live, but still hurts.when you check in on me, if im smiling its cuz im thinking of you, if im crying its cuz im thinking of you. today was a crazy roller coaster of emotions, i did both. your buddies told me that you was madly in love with me, and i truely believe it, cuz that is how i feel about you. i guess what i want to say is thank you for coming into my life. wanted more time but what time we had, we enjoyed every minute of it and didnt waste it. you still live within our hearts...still miss and love you very much...mb

hey there babes... today was our 3 yr anni. it was very hard to deal with. tried to keep myself busy. but now that it is nite time and everyone is settled down i have this time to sit and reflect. i was planning on going to the tavern(it opened back up) and have a couple drinks for us. that didnt happen. i still have that bottle of wine you bought in p.a. think it be cracked open for on the day that you left us. that day is approaching soon and i dont know how well i will handle it. sitting here watching your video and bawling my eyes out. am i being foolish? the pain feels so fresh to me, cant get passed it.when i see how happy we were, it just seems like a bad dream that i cant wake up from. wish someone would wake me up cuz it hurts so much.wish i could say happy anni to us but it would be a lie.i love and miss you soooooo much. with all my love and kisses ...mb

hey there babes...well it be the day after x-mas and some how i survived it. i actually had all my grandkids with us for bout an hour. that is the first time everyone was here, and they all got along without fighting. sorry to report that i did not get a deer, went out only once. was not the same. will give it another try next year. being out there gave me too much time to think, broke my concentration on my mission. aaron had all the luck this year, so his freezer is over flowing. i had a friend give me some, and we ate it rite up, it was gooood. well news years eve is next weekend. not dreading it as much this year, cuz you cant give me away to peter !!! i'll probably just stay at home. dont drink like i use to and i dont behave. i think of you often and miss you so much, but i am dealing with it a bit better. oh sure i have moments. you have no idea how much you ment to me. if we could do it over, i would not change a thing. i always thought that you were perfect. well starting to get a bit emotional, so better end here....luv and miss you lots MB

hi babes. its halloween day. got my scariest face on. just kidding. last nite for some odd reason i could feel your presense and it made feel at ease. yes it made me cry , but i felt closer to you at that moment. gurgles misses you too. the doe contest got cancelled here on the rez, so no entry for me. still waiting for some meat from jims friend, he said he would give me some last week. it kinda sounds like that tomarrow deal to me, never comes.the weather is getting colder and i am surely not ready for it, burr. i hope you come and visit me again. i miss and luvs you lots....mb

hey babes, well went out and shot the gun today. my son thought it be good idea to take the scope off, wrong. couldnt shoot at the side of a barn without it. went thru a box of bullets trying. so he is going to put it back on. i was thinking of you when i smelt the gun powder, i remember you saying that you liked that smell. i tell you the strangest things remind me of you. i went to the cabin a couple weeks ago, had fun with everyone. peter passed out early as usual, just like time stood still,lol. boots stayed up all nite just to make me breakfast before i went to work, you taught him well on his cooking skills. was nice to see everyone again all in your fav spot. i still think of you all the time and still wish you was here with us.hmmm what would wally do? that was your phrase to us and it still holds true now. i see that your birthday falls on thanksgiving this year, sorry but i dont have anything to be thnkful for this year, hope you understand. i will be thinking of you on that day. maybe we can get stupid drunk. thats just a thought. well babes remember i luv and miss you so much ......mb

hey babes, all is well here. ha bet you thought i was going to moan about something. no, trying to get my life back to some normalacy, if that is possible. getting ready for rosies birthday, she turns 9, boy if that dont make me feel old yet , dont know what will.going to enter the big doe contest here on the rez, starts next week til nov. 30th. gotta get the gun all ready, cleaned and sighted in. my son jim took it out and sighted it in for himself. he thought that i was going to give it up after you passed. the joke was on him cuz now i have to prove to myself that i can live up to all the stuff i said to you last year. i think gomer said more than me but i still want to prove it to you and myself. i find myself not crying over your memory as much, it still does hurt alot, but i guess i am accepting now. i feel like i can talk about you with anyone. sometimes they just look at me and just listen to the stories i have about you, i feel closer to you when i do talk about you. i do miss you so much, but there were different plans for you. well babes gotta end here,need to get some sleep for the bday party. love and miss you lots.........mb

hey babes. well today would have been an awesome day for us to watch football together. bills vs the pats. you would have been rubbing it in my face and gloating and prob a few bucks richer. oh the shame of it, they were robbed of that victory. my son lee took it alot harder than i did. he is totally ticked off. well my trip to canada was totally useless, have to go back in nov. not looking forward to that. we really need to have one of those heart to heart conversations. i really need some one to talk to and you seem to be the only one that would listen and understand what i am saying and guide me the rite direction. i need alone time to do that which is kinda hard to do rite now. dam i miss you so much that it still hurts like crazy. i would give anything to hold you again. when i think of you all i can do is picture you smiling at me and your eyes have a certain sparkle in them. that is the way i will always remember you....with all my luv mb

WALL, Remember when you told me that you wish the amish guy would plant corn in the field next to your land? well guess what? Your wish came true. I walked past your ladder stand and out into the field yesterday,and there it was.a lush green field of endless healthy corn.i know you are watching over that field and making that corn grow so well. The deer tracks are everywhere there just like you said they will be. I am going to get the boys together and move your stand up to the edge overlooking the field so you can stand watch over that field for us till I come hunting there with you on opening day. I go up there when i can but the land is just not the same to me anymore. I try to put my happy face on and be strong for your kids but its seems to actually be the other way around. I think they are doing it for me. Im going to go for now, Talk to you soon. YOUR FRIEND DUFFY

Mark,I feel terrible for this being the first time im writing in this but believe it or not every time i think about you i break down and cry. I can still remember the very first time i met you and Peter. I remember how nervous i was and you made me feel so welcome. You always welcomed me with open arms. What meant the most to me is that Jim was your best friend and we had the worst of fights in front of you but you still never judged me. You definetly knew how to make people smile and feel right at home. I still cant believe your gone and I think about you all the time. Hopefully this year i will get my hunting license. i always took for granted all the times sitting in the garage talking with you guys, And i still remember a week before you left us you inviting us to stay for dinner and me not taking you up on the offer and its sooo hard to forgive myself for that. I wish i could turn back time!! You really have taught me not to take anything for granted.. Life is too short.. God bless Karen because i honestly dont know how id make it through this if i were in her shoes.. I only knew you for 4 years but i must say you will always have a spot in my heart and i will never forget you..All of you guys have taught me soo much and im thankful for yous.. I love you always and forever ...

hey babes its me again. i was sitting here thinking about you. i realized something; you never got a chance to show me how clean a deer. not saying that my son doesnt know how but he has only done it a few (2) times. i wish that i had gotten even a doe last year so you could show me the right way.see i told you that we had a lot to do yet. i feel so lost without you. i have been putting up a good front for my kids,and my family. when i go for a ride i usually let loose and cry. my alone time is spent thinking of you, but it has been a wee bit easier.dont get me wrong i miss you terribly and want you back in the worst way. me and debby have become good friends,she understands the pain i am going thru, she misses you as well. i see she is coming to buffalo soon.that be another story. i have lost touch with your family and friends, we all kinda went our own way, was hoping that we could all stay friends the way it was before. but as you know it didnt happen.i guess i thought that this would be bring us closer, it did the opposite. yes you were the glue that kept us together, now you gone the glue came undone. maybee im just sitting here feeling sorry for myself, i do that often. i ask myself why me . when it should be why him. by the way, what do you think of my tat? hurt like crazy but it was for you and i endured it. now you are a part of me. babes i love you more with each passing day, your memory fills my head in a way that can make me cry, laugh and smile with each memory. when you drop by to check on me give me a kiss , and lick my ear like you use to......... with all my love mb

hey babes its me finally. i have been putting this off as long as i can. it still hurts to much. my heart still aches for you in the worst way.im trying to think of what to say to you , i know that i never had that problem before.i am very vigilant at looking at your pics and watching the video of you. i kiss you good nite everynite , even when i am really tired. i got your pics rite above my(our) bed so you can watch me sleep. i am still having a hard time accepting the fact that it happened. im still in denial. i told my daughter that i thought that you was just messing with me like you always did. i still wait for your early morning tex to say good morning to me but it never comes. the past two years have been the best of my life with you in it. we were suppose to get engaged, a long one.we still had a lot to do, so many plans, and more to learn about each other. i went thru the phase of being angry at you for leaving me, that was rough.i want to sit and think of you without crying. your memory is suppose to make me smile, trust me there were many times you did make me smile. when i looked into your eyes, all i seen was love, never did i ever see hate, anger, disappointment,or jealousy. you were so good to me, why? babes i will write again. this is hard to do. love you with all my heart :) karen aka mama bear.

When I go to the house I look up at the garage door n just for a minute I see you standing there with ur paint mask around your face...i miss ya so much dad....so many questions that we will want to ask you down the road will all be left unanswered, we will always wonder what you would have to say about it. I dont know how we will get by without your advice, but we will have to manage. I miss u so much. Love ya .... Lim

WALL, i came home from work this morning and i am sitting on the couch, i look up and i see your picture on my mantle looking down on me . you have that trademark bright smile of yours that we all know and love. i remember taking that picture of you. we were sitting at the picnic table behind your cabin. it was early morning and we were having our coffee. and enjoying our morning talk like we always did.and as i stare at your picture i just get a dose of reality that your not here anymore.i think back to november 21st when we tracked our last monster buck together. i would of never found it without you by my side. it will forever be my prize trophy because we did it together.i am going to put your name on the plaque along with mine.i dont think hunting season will ever be the same to me again.i cannot picture myself setting out on opening day without you. so for now i have to picture you sitting across the table from me.having our coffee and our morning chat. we had so many plans and so much to do.and i dont know if i can do it now.i look out the window here at the trailer you and i brought home together and i dont have any ambition to work on it now.i dont know if i can walk in your house anymore an not find you sitting at your kitchen chair.i have been on this emotional rollercoaster now and all my priorities have changed. the land dont have the same excitement for me that it did a month ago.i want you to walk the woods with me again,but i know that is not going to happen now.i miss our times together so much. im not sure which path to take now. i really miss you. your friend DUFFY.

wall, aaron and i spent the night at your cabiin last night, we tried to enjoy the day but it was just not the same. i walked the land alone the next morning and tried to put thoughts in order but i couldnt. then i walked past your stand and i saw eight deer passing your spot.did you see them?. i know you did because you were right there with me.i felt a little peace for just that moment, i knew you were smiling.every time i take that walk i will think of you and all the years that we did that together.i will cherish all the long talks we had along the way. i know some day i will see you again and we can finish our talks.you are sadly missed by us all. enjoy your rest.

You were always there when I needed you most. From the big brother in school to the time you saved me when I fell through the ice (and never told mom). As we grew older you were still there to help, I just knew that come opening day we'd have to wait a little longer......We will all miss you. You raised three great kids and Nick loves you more than you could imagine.
I don't know where you, how near or how far. Pile on the years and I'll be joining you there. And we'll bask in the shadows of yesterday's memories.
Love you and miss you, why did you leave us so soon.

uncle mark, still not feelin as if this was real, i saw you less than two months ago while home for a different funeral. as always you where laughing and smoking.. being across the country in the marines has its great times, but times like these prove to suck.... cant say you were always the best influence growing up, my dad was like the angel on one shoulder and you where the devil on the other haha. i remember the first night i spent over before opening day. first time you saw me smoking a cig you yelled at me saying " all these damn years of you yelling at me telling me ta quit, now look at ya paco!" miss ya uncle mark. i know your up there next to grandma, case full of beer, free smokes, and not them cheap senecas, we all know how ya loved the state and them keepin ya company by having one problem or another.. and hunting has to be perfect up there, minus that huge buck that is still gunna get away, love ya buckmaster
