Hey Peewee my love,
The Lynyrd Skynyrd concert was good. It sure would have been better if you could have been there with us; but, you were in spirit. I got to meet them in person and it was awesome. I gave Johnny a note to remind him of how much you loved their band. Baby, I miss you more & more every day. I look around this house and I see the little things that you did that remind me so much of you. You are in my heart and in my mind every waking moment I have. I love you honey. Thank you for taking care of me & Shelby while you were here. You know I did my best to take care of you. This page won't be online much longer, but; I will keep a journal of daily writings here at home. I love you baby & miss you.

Hi baby,
It's me, your butthead. I just want to tell you that I still miss you soooooooo much and I wish you were still here laughing and cutting up with me. We are going to see your favorite band baby tomorrow. I know you will be there with us. Everyone here is ok. Your lil girl has been sick. I will do what I can to see that she will be ok as I promised you. Things are getting tougher here. Baby, please pull the angels together and have them pray for all involved back here. We are going to need it. Your animals miss you baby, but I do believe they know you are doing wonderful up there in that beautiful paradise. Honey, keep talking to me in the wind, keep me warm with the sun rays. I will keep your memory alive in all that I do. I hold your pillow at night and still smell you. That helps to comfort me so I can drift off to sleep. It is not the same as holding you, but it DOES help me to be able to still smell you. I love you with all my heart baby and will for the rest of my life. Your memory will live on in your baby girl and your son. I will help to take care of them as I promised you over & over. Shelby misses you each and every day also. He still talks of you & the things you and he did together as buddies. You were his hero in alot of ways. He has alot of your qualities that you brought out in him through your advice. Sometimes he will say something to me and it sounds as if you are speaking through him. Peewee, my darling, I will talk to you on here at another time. I still talk to you in my dreams and in everyday things that I do around here. I love you always. Rest well sweetheart.
FOREVER LOVING YOU!

Our condolences to the entire Skinner family. Raymond and Mary Jane were the best neighbors anyone could ask for in the early 1990s and of course, we got to know their three sons and their families as well. PeeWee will be missed by a lot of people but, we must remember what we've all been taught, and know that he IS in a better place and all of his loved ones will see him again one day! Take care and again, we're so sorry. Roslynn Solis-Champion, Brady Champion, and Eddie Champion.

We are so sad for the loss of our good friend Pee Wee. We will always remember the good times and late nights out on McDowell Rd.. It's funny how things work out in life. When we were young we didn't think anything could ever happen to us, but as we get older and looking back we now wounder, what we were thinking doing some of the things we did. We will never forget you. God Bless you Pee Wee,Troy & Bubba our prayers are with you. Let us know if you need anything.

The Love of My Life


I lost the love of my life, Peewee Skinner, on August 14, 2007. He was the most giving and loving man. He was a wonderful man that everybody loved. He was my partner, companion & my best friend.

Peewee, my love, I will miss you so much. You were so good to me and my son, Shelby. He will miss you terribly baby. You were his idol and also his best & dearest friend. I thank you honey for each and every little thing you did for me & Shelby. You loved life and everything it had to offer.

I will forever love you baby. I will miss your smile, your laughter, your little jokes, and the love you showed me and gave me. We really had some good times didn't we? All of your friends and family are going to miss you too. Without GOD ALMIGHTY & them, I do not think I could go thru all of this baby. My angel, take up your wings and fly now for you are now a "FREEBIRD". Make room for me baby for when it is my time to come home. I love you today, tomorrow & forever. Rest well my love, I will see you again. I can't say goodbye, but yet I will say I'll see you later!

Your loving girlfriend, fiance, and butthead(as you called me),

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Pee Wee. We shared alot of good times together. Mary Jane and Raymond were good friends with my Mother and Dad and when they got together to play cards, We all would play together. He was such a wonderful person.
May God give you all strength to know that Pee Wee is in a much better place.

To Pee Wee, We will love you and miss you always. One of my fondest memories was when we went to Baton Rouge for the Cajun Nationls. Oh, how you loved racing. We all had such a great time. I know that through alot of tough times you still loved my family, and we still loved you.

To Cindy whom I met only once, I could tell that Pee Wee loved you. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope and pray we will all get to see him again someday.

Jesus's promise to us if we draw close to him and accept him into our hearts, will we live eternally with him.

To his family, I know you will miss him very much. How difficult this must be, but with God's word he will give you the strength you need to overcome this grief.

I will keep each one of you in my prayers.

Pee Wee, I will miss you greatly,
your ex-sister-in-law.

My sweetest love Peewee,
I love you so much and I miss you already. My heart feels so empty without you. You were there for me in every way. You were my rock, my partner and my best friend. We shared so much and had so many good times sweetheart. I just wish we had more times to share. I know it is your time to go baby. So spread your wings and fly my love, go home to our Heavenly Father. You will no longer suffer sweetheart, you will have no more pain. It will be hard for me, but I must carry on like you would want me to. I will do my best to keep your memory alive through our friends and family left here on earth. Darling, I have peace just knowing that one day I will be there with you. I will forever love you Peewee. Make room for me for when I come home too. I'm not saying goodbye, I am saying I'll see you later. FOREVER IN MY HEART,
