15 years later and it still feels like yesterday. Although life is moving along, there’s a piece of me that chipped away when you left us, that I’ll most likely never be able to repair. God has carried me along the way and lifted me when I’ve felt weak. You were the first big loss I had ever experienced at that point, and still 15 years later nothing has compared to it. I’m sad Lindz, I’m always thinking about you, and especially your family. We’re all so broken. I miss you Bestfriend, I miss you deeply. I’ll forever cherish the memories.

We were looking through old pictures the other day and found the cutest picture of you and ryan when you guys were little i put it in my wallet and it goes everywhere with me. St.Patrick's Day is in two days and I'm soo excited! I wrote you another poem and at school the other day i wrote about you in my journal. I know i have said this so many times but i truely do miss and love you so much!!!!

hi Lindsey,
I haven't written on here for awhile and that bothers me a lot. I haven't forgot about you I just have been talking to you in other ways. It doesn't look like 2008 is going to be a good year. Already today I'm going to another funeral for Maeve's grandpa and then Julio's friend Nick's grandma just died too. My mom had to have surgery last week and I just wanted to say thank you for looking over her the whole time. I'm making my Confirmation in a couple weeks and man I can't wait. My Confirmation name is Brigid i really wanted it to be Lindsey but there isn't a ST.Lindsey so i couldn't do it I was really upset. i miss you so much and last night at that funeral home i smelt that smell that always reminds me of you and it made my eyes start to tear up. Can you believe that in a couple months it will be 2 years since you have been gona??? everything is so hard lately and so confusing. Half the school year is over and it's really weird i don't want to leave my school but I have no choice but the thought of High School just seems so scary to me. The part i hate the most is loosing my friends some of them i may never see again which is totally weird and next year i won't have my 7th graders there for help which will be really really hard for me. Although I'm scared I have this strong feeling that I'll make it through just fine I know I'll have you with me every step I'll take and you've been through all of this High School stuff and I totally trust you. I hope things are going ok with you right now. You helped me through so many times that i could never repay you for and I wish i could. I wish i could see you one last time. I love and miss you so much!!!
LOVE YOU!!! :-)

Hey Linz,
Everyday seems like it's just going so slow years seem to go so slow i don't get that. I'm 14 now and it's been a year and a half now and it seems like it's been so much longer since i've seen you. I'm use to you coming over and seeing me for my birthday and talking to you but it's now been two weeks and you haven't come. It's still hard to believe all of this. Lately I've needed you a lot it's just everything is coming into reality. I miss you so much Linz and sometimes it's just hard to think without you being every thing i think about all the time. A new girl at my school Deonna she's one of my really good friends and her moms aniversary of her death was just two weeks ago I've been praying for her just like i always pray for all your friends and family because i know how it feels. Lindsey I look at your pictures all the time and i have written poems and songs about you it's just been really hard. A couple days ago i had to bring my Lindsey dog back upstairs because i missed you so much and that's the only thing that ever eases my pain. I love you sooo much and you are very much missed i love you again!

Hey Lindsey,
i miss u so much and i wish u could be here. my first day of 8th grade is to tomorrow and i'm like really nervous and excited. I've had softball try outs the past two sundays and i'm so tired i really hope i made it. My life is crazy busy right now because on top of that i have volleyball try outs. I just wish u were here. I just got my room painted. While it was getting done i was thinking about u and when u got ur room painted the really pretty sparkly blue it has always been my favorite. I feel like every thing i do reminds me of you. I just got new piggy slippers and they remind me of you too they are really cute and i wear them everywhere. I really do miss u sooooo much and i love u more than i could ever show u!
I LOVE YOU :-)

Hey babe, I wanted to tell you how much I love and miss you. I told my 2 year old niece who you were today, she saw your picture and said "pretty girl!" I told her, "thats my best friend Lindsey and she is an angel now." It was so cute. I wish you could have met her, she so would have loved you. Everyone does, you are truly missed. I am still counting the days since you have been gone, I will never forget. I miss you with every bone in my body. I love you Baby Girl! XOXO

I love you so much and it really sucks that we argued before you left but I want you to know I was wrong and I think about you everyday I love you .Jay

Hey Lindsey i miss u so much and then again it's just like the time when it's gonna hit me out of nowhere. I know I've said this so many times but you were and still are my role model. I've written so many things about and to you in this past year and i wish you were here to read them. I can't believe summer's almost over it makes me really sad but I can't wait to see all my friends again. I guess i was just thinking about you and just decided to say hi and tell you how much i love and miss you.
I love you soooooooooo much :)

Hey Lindsey,
I miss you so much and i don't know why but it's really been hitting me lately. This week is kinda busy today tucker turns 3, tomorrow i go to cedar point and this weekend i hav my last softball tournament.Softball is so much fun and basicly if iit wasn't for you i wouldn't be in it right now because one night my mom, your mom and i went to olive garden and i really didn't want to play but your mom said well Lindsey played a traveling team once and had so much fun and made so many friends so i did it. But anyways i hope you are having fun in heaven. i love and miss you soooooooo much.

Hey babe, I been thinking about you, you know your always on my mind.. So things have been pretty mixed up for me lately.. I wish you were here to give me some guidance. To me your are my Higher Power.. You are my angel and I would give anything to be able to see you one more time. If I had one wish... I will stay strong though because no matter what, I know you are there for me, watching from above. I will forever cherish the time we had together. I love you girl and miss you with all of my soul.. Talk to you soon.

Kristin Snaith

June 30, 2007

Hey Baby Girl.. I was just thinking about you as usual, and I thought I would say hi. I miss you so much, sometimes there are days when all I can do is think about you and cry.. I feel like I have lost so many friends this past year or so, it's so hard to deal with. You were the hardest to say goodbye to.. I still keep thinking somehow things could have been different, somehow you should still be here, but everyday I wake up and realize that I will never see you again.. So for now I will cherish my dreams because I can always count on you to be there waiting. I love you today, tomorrow, and for the rest of my life!

Hey Linz,
I haven't talk to you in awhile so i gess i just decided too. I've been really busy lately i have softball every weekend and and volleyball all this week it's very tiring. I just got back from disney world a couple weeks ago and it was pretty fun. I miss you a lot Linz. It's weird because everywhere i go i see someone who reminds me of you like last week i was at a birthday party and one of the girls there just reminded me so much of you. I still can't believe it's been over a year it's hard to think about. I hope you're ok I'm sure you are but i miss you a lot.
I LOVE YOU SOOOOOO MUCH :)

Lindsey,
This past year has been really hard and your guest book has made it so much easier with this I feel like I'm actually talking to you. I miss u so much baby girl and it's hard for all of us knowing that you're not here anymore. Just the other day it dawned on me and I couldn't believe u weren't here anymore. I miss you so much and it's so hard when everything reminds me of you. I have your picture of you on my phone and everyone says she's so beautiful and I'm like they have no idea until they've actually seen your smile. You're so beautiful and it's my dream to be even half as beautiful as you.Things that I'll always remember and will probably end up tellin my kids when I have them will be about you. If I could go back in time the very first thing I would do is save you and bring you back to us. If I could have one wish that would come true no matter wat I would wish to see you again. Sometimes it's hard not to cry when u think of you or sometimes I'll start laughing out of nowhere because I'll start thinking of a time when I was with you you always made me laugh and it's kind of funny how even though your not with me to make me laugh and I'm still laughin about it. You're stil makin me smile to just by seeing your picture u have the beautifulest smile that was the most contagious thing in the world and that's one reason why i loved you so much because you always made me feel better. Lindsey I just want you to know that never in my life will i forget you i don't care if i'm 90 years old i'll be sitting there saying you know what one reason is why I got this far is because Lindsey was such a great role model for all those years and i love you so much and I miss you more than anything.
I LUV YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING:)

There is no doubt that you touched many hearts during your life. Reading all of these messages shows just how special you were to so many people. Sweet, beautiful baby, our love for you will never end. As long as our hearts are beating, you will live within us. Special thanks to Aunt Sheila for giving your family and friends this past year to express their thoughts.
I love you.

You remain in my dreams, as well as in my heart; and everything else I do. The thought of your big bright smile brings me comfort on days like this. Love you always Lindz.

Happy Birthday Linz,
I hope that you're having a good tiem celebrating it up in heaven. We're going to your cross soon so we can sing happy birthday to you. Lately I have no time for anything since i have softball four days a week plus games somewhere in there. I do have to thank you since the first softball glove i ever got was yours i remember i loved that glove, I treasure everything that I got from you whether it be advise or a gift it's a memory to me. One thing I really remember was you and Ryan's birthday party a couple years ago that is a day I will never forget I had so much fun. I miss you so much I can't even tell you how much in words. I'll never forget you and I hope you'll never forget me either because you were truly my role model and some what like a sister to me. Once again Happy Birthday Linz!!! <333
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH :)

Remembering the good times...

My Sweetest Linz, I can only think that this was the birthday that you spoke of most the last year of your life. And to think that we're not spending it together breaks my heart!! There is no one in this world that misses that beautiful smile and heart-felt embrace that you always had when you walked into a room more than I do.... I think about you always as you will never leave my heart nor my thoughts. Everything that I do, I do for you!! I can't wait to see you again Baby Girl because life won't ever be the same without you. Until then my sweetest daughter I'll see me in my dreams...

Kristin Snaith

April 25, 2007

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!! Of all the things I have ever missed in life, I miss you the most. I wish you were here to celebrate our birthdays together, but I will have you in my mind and my heart.

The weekend was rough. Thinking that it's already been an entire year shatters my heart.

I think about you every second of everyday; I'm struggling to get by Lindz it's all so complicated.

It's so hard going out and trying to have a good time at events knowing that you'd be right there with me.
It's so hard hearing Nextel's chirp thinking that you're the receiving line.
It's so hard going places that we use to go, hearing songs we use to listen to, and seeing the people we use to hang out with. It's all so hard.

Sometimes I get weak, but you make me strong. You are my girl, and everything I do; I do it for you.

You were/are still the very best best friend I've ever known.

Love you girl!
Till we meet again...Later, Remember..? There are No goodbyes, it's I'll see you later.

Has it really been a year since my best girl was taken from me? It feels like the whole last year has just been horrible. After I lost you it only got worse. I am even still having hard times.. at least I will always have my Baby Girl to look down and guide me through. I love you girl, I miss you.

Lindsey,
I can't believe that it's been over a year that you've been gone. It's been a long year and a horrible year too. We went to your cross yesterday. This weekend has been really hard last night i cried myself to sleep. I went to Kohls Saturday and a piggy it's so cute. This year has not been the same without you Linz. I really miss you amd love you.
I LOVE YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH :)

Hi Baby Girl, I miss you so much.. I wanted to tell you that I just saw your other site that they made for you it is so beautiful. I cried so hard when I watched your videos.. as much as I missed hearing your voice it was just so weird because I haven't heard your voice since that night. I love you so much Linz.. sometimes I just want to break down. I am trying my best to help you and your family get through this. I would do anything for you girl.. You are always in my thoughts and in my heart.. I love you!!

~SAMI BYRNE~ <333

March 21, 2007

Hey Linz,
I can't stop crying because I just thought about you and everytime I stop I just start again. Right now all I want is for you to come back I really don't care about anything else I just want to see you smile and talk to you. At practice I just started crying because my mom and Kayli's dad were talking about you. I have a friend Nijha who reminds me so much of you and I'm actually talking to her right now and she is making feel so much even better though it isn't the same as having you here with me. I miss you like so much it's to hard to explain. I can't ever tell you how bad i miss u more than i can type to you on this.I REALLY REALLLY MISS YOU
I LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH :)

~SAMI BYRNE~ <3333

February 26, 2007

Hey Linz,
I'm trying to figure out something if I should read this story that I wrote about you to my class but I'm afraid that I'll start crying. I think I'm going to though. It's really hard to think that it's almost been 1 year I can't believe it. Well I guess that's all i really have to say besides I misssss you soooooooo much!!!
I LOVE YA LOTS :)

February 13, 2007

Hey Linz,
Everynight before I go to bed I think of you. When I talk to my friend Nijha on the phone we always start talking about you she doesn't know you she's never met you but she still thinks she knows you just from me talking about you all the time. I can't imagin how all this felt on our best friends or your mom I love you a lot but I only saw you like three times a year so I really can't imagin how your best friends or your mom feels.I have pictures of you everywhere at school in my binder, folder and locker. I really really miss you.
I LOVE YOU SOOOOOO MUCH :)

February 7, 2007

Hey Babe, I have been thinking about you a lot. I keep thinking about how almost a year ago now is when I lost one of my very best friends. How could it have been that long ago? It doesn't seem like a year has passed without me seeing your face, hugging you, going to the movies. It seems like yesterday we were rolling around in your car bumpin some good music and then today it hits me, you're gone. I have decided not to work on the 31st of March or the 1st of April. I am going to dedicate those days to you, I want to go out and light a candle for you at your cross on that night that marks a year. I extend an invitation to all family and friends that want to join me. It may have been a year Lindsey but I tell you what, I still can't accept this. I still think about you everyday and every night. I still miss you always and still love you like a sister. None of that will change, you know why? Because you, Baby Girl, are one of the sweetest, most wonderful people I have ever had the pleaseure of konwing, and that I will never forget.

~SAMI BYRNE~<3333

Linz,
My best friend last night called after watching Ladders 49 and she was crying so hard because her dad is a fireman and she was scared for her dad. I felt so bad because her dad has to work today and she's not going to be over it she'll probably be thinking of it all day. Please help her because I don't want her to be afraid of this everyday. I really miss you and wish you were here right now so I could talk to you.
I LOVE YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH :)

The last time I saw you we were in Miss. Eusebio's class at Highland Park Elementary. I'll never forget the strong presence you had as a child, one that seemed to say "One day I will be a great leader." I remember when you, Brooke and I would play and you always told us what the agenda was for that day--we listened and followed and you lead. I've been in awe of that leadership potential you had as a child and it has stayed with me to this day. I am studying to be an elementary teacher and I will always think of you when I become one. I hope that every student I have learns what you were aware of at such a young age, that you have the potential to be a great leader who influences those around you. After looking at all of the entries in this Guest Book, I'd say that you did it Lindsey--your strong presence on this earth influenced the lives of everyone around you...Even the little seven year old who thirteen years down the line, is still influenced by having you as a playmate. My prayers are with your family, may God's love and comfort always be upon them.

~SAMI BYRNE~ <333

February 5, 2007

Hey Linz,
I'm writing a fairy tale about you for one of my classes and my nijha and i talk all the time about ideas for the story and it has to end happy. It's weird because Nijha thinks that she's met you but knows she never has. This past week at school i've got to the point of almost crying and all my friends know about you just from reading it. I really miss you.
I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING :)

Hey babe, how are you? I was thinking a lot about you lately, I stopped by one of our old friends houses and your picture is by the table, so beautiful. It is still so hard to look at you and not be able to really see you, know what I mean? Did you see that Buckeyes game? Pretty bad, I know. I remember how we used to all get all dressed up in our Buckeyes gear and watch the games together, I miss those days. I miss you. Well my brothers new baby is doing well, she's so beautiful, I wish you could meet her. When she grows up I will tell her all about you. I love you so much, I hope you know how much you are loved and missed. I gotta go get some work done but I will talk at you soon. Love you always Baby Girl!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR LINZ!
I'm so glad this year OVER! I'm hoping that there's no more bad luck. I can't believe it's been 9 months that you've been gone. I had to babysit lastnight until 3:45 it was tiring but we were crazy we drank sparkling apple juice and then went outside and screamed it was so much fun. I MISS YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH!
LUV YA LOTS:)

Hey Linz,
HAPPY NEW YEAR! This week has been very painful I had three basketball games and those girls beat me up I have a bruised eye which isn't from the other team a girl on my team accidently did then my knees are both bruised but I'll be fine. I can't believe Christmas break is almost over it doesn't feel like it's been very long at all. Today's Julio's birthday so I hope he has a good birthday. I really wish I could see you one last time I'll never forget you or all the things we did you'll always be my rolemodel and no one could ever replace you because there's no one else who lightened up room like you did just by smiling. It's really hard to not think about you since everything I love reminds me of you. I miss you very very very much!
LUV YA LOTS:)

Linz, I ran into at the mall when you eating dinner with your dad and of course you came running up to me with a smile on your face and gave me a hug, i'll never forget seeing you, that day, and will never forget the news i got just two days later, I wish that i would have maybe talked a little longer or that day that i saw you hugged a little longer, but you are dearly missed and your family will continue to be in my prayers.

Hey Linz,
This year wasn't the best Christmas ever I loved my presents it's just no one was really in the Christmas mood this year. I still can't believe it's over it doesn't even feel like it's been Thanksgiving to me yet. I guess it's just because it was such a crappy year and I just can't wait for this year to be over. I'm glad I got to see my cousins and actually one them is here with me right now we're having a lot of fun. I've been talking about you all weekend to my cousins. I really miss you. I hope you had a great christmas!
I LUV YOU:)

Thanks for watching over them and making sure she got here safely, you really are an angel. I miss you more everyday. I hope your family had a good Christmas, I send them my best holiday wishes.

Hey Linz,
MERRY CHRISTMAS! I still remember two Christmas' ago when you and your mom took me to go get my nails done and you got yours done I remember watching you get a pedicure and you laughing because it tickled you. Last Christmas when I saw you I remember showing you my new pants and you said I have pants just like that but little did I know that in a couple months after I would be wearing them to your funeral or that that Christmas would be the last time that I would see you ever again. Please watch over my friend Kayli who has Whooping Cough and my other friend Taylee who's grandpa just past away Wednesday so this Christmas is going to be relly hard for both of them. Please watch pver all of us too. I miss you more than words can say.
MERRY CHRISTAMAS AND A
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I LOVE YOU LOTS:)

Hey Linz,
I miss you sooooooooo much. Nothing's the same with out you. I had a dream about you the other night which is kind of weird because I had just spent 30 minutes praying to you and God asking for me to have a dream about you so I could say goodbye and tell you how much I love you. The dream had your mom, Ryan, you and I were all just hangin out and talking and it felt so real and the whole time I was just looking at you like how are you here I did end up saying what I wanted to say to you. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving I know I did. Today I got hit in the head with a clock so I've been a little out of it today but I'll be fine. Is everything ok up there I sure hope so, tell everyone I said hi and that i love them. I did get a new dog just not the one I was going to get before his name is Rudy he's so cute but really rotten.Then again I miss you soooooooooooo much.
LOTS OF LOVE:)

Hey babe, how you doing? I have been good, very busy as usual. Sometimes I think it's better though you know, to stay busy, it helps not to think about how much I miss you. Christmas is creeping up and I still can't beleive you're really gone. It was weird not to hang with you on Thanksgiving because the last couple years we have hung out after we all ate. I went to N.C this year with my boyfriend and his family, it was fun but one of the nights I was there I sat outside and talked to you for over an hour. i know you heard me becuase it was almost like for a second I could hear your voice next to me, your hand on my shoulder it was weird. I miss you alot some days I only think about it a little and other days it's all I think about. Ever since you've been gone I feel like I can't find a friend to confide in, not like I did with you. It is so hard to make good friends these days, that makes me miss you more becuase you were one of the best I have ever had and your gone. Now I'm so afraid that I will loose some one I love, or what if they lost me? You don't realize how real it is the fact that any day could be your day, it takes seeing it first hand to really know it's real. I wish it weren't I want to see you so bad, to hear your voice all cheerful "Hey Girl!" This just never gets easier. The holidays make me miss you more because I know you loved them. This year you are my angel, you are at the top of every tree in America, because thats what you are an angel. I love you so much Baby Girl, and that will never end. Always stay by my side, I feel your presence in my life just in a different way, as long as I keep you in my heart you will never really be gone to me. I want to send my best holiday wishes to your family. I will miss you forever and ever Baby Girl! I love you.

Lndsey,
WE didn't endup getting the dog yesterday we'll probably getit after Thanksgiving. Tonight is my Great Uncle Jonny's veiwing so please look over everyone there. I really wish you were hear right now with all of us to bring that happiness we get just by seeing your smile. That big pink barbie house that you gave me I still have it and I was talking about it today with my friends I'll never give it away because it reminds me of you just like the dog you gave. I miss and love you very very very very very very very very much.
LOTS OF LOVE:)

Linz,
How are you doing? I hope your doing good. We might be getting our new dog today we're naming him Rudy after the Notre Dame football player. I can't stop thinking of how I could've seen you one last time on that Monday before you died. This hasn't been easy on anyone and it seemd like the rest of the year after that has just been crappy. I can't wait until this year OVER I am going to celebrate on New Years Eve more than I usually do because hopefully all the badluck will be done. Ofcourse once you think your badluck's gone something else happens to be that now my grandpa's brother died. It's going to be really hard to go back to that funeral home for the third time this year my mom said it will probably be in the same rooom yours was in which is giong to make it harder. I hope your doing great up there and i hope that your feeling all the love that we're sending you from down here. Tell everyone I said hi and that I love you all. I miss and love you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much.
LOTS OF LOVE:)

Linz,
A couple weeks ago I had a dream with u in it I was so happy to see you in my dreams. I've been waiting to have a dream about you for so long and now it finally happened. Your mom got a new puppy he's so cute his name is Baxter but i call him puppy I don't know why though he's a 8 week old Golden Retriever and he's adorable. My volleyball team won our first game yesterday and then we lost our other one. It was wierd to win this weekend exspecially because it was the weekend of Brady Quinn's birthday. I can't go a day without thinking of you I always think about your last thoughts. I always get down really hard on myself because I know I could've seen you the Monday before you died but I had to take a shower. I really really miss you a lot.
LOVE YA LOTS:)

Linz, I just can't believe it's been 28 weeks tonight....and yet again it rains. I miss you so much...but you already know that because I tell you everyday! I pass your cross daily and I tell you just how much I love you!!! The days go on...but not a second goes by that my mind is not thinking of you!! I daydream about seeing you again, what I will say, how your touch will feel. I long for that day...because my heart is always so full of pain. I miss you BabyGirl...life is just not the same without you in it!!!

Hey Linz,
Looks like there's another bad day that I'm looking at your mom had to put Jake to sleep last night but when she got home or this morning i forget she found a puppy on her drive so ofcourse being your mom put it in her backyard. I really hope that we don't have another yearlike this again. By the time my birthday came I thought our bad luck was over but I guess not. Your mom had Jake cremated. Your mom really needs again this really isn't fair to any of us. I really miss you just like everyone else who knew you.
LOVE YA LOTS:)

Hey Linz,
Whats up? I hurt my foot the other day while I was pogosticking. Wow am I smart! Ofcourse it was right before my game so it hurt a lot. I still played in my game because you know how it is "No pain, No game". It still hurts and I lost my game and made my foot even worst. This month is one of those months where all I can think about is you. I knew this was going to happen just because it's my birthday month and the though of you not coming to see me to say Happy Birthday and I really am just waiting for you to come. Every little thing reminds of you everyday. I have this picture of you at school everyone keeps sayin you like a mix between me and this girl Brianna even though you don't look like her at all. Everyone thinks you were my sister. Everything at school reminds me of you too lik emy binder which has a picture of you in it and my locker which has picture of you everyone says your so beautiful that's why Brianna said that's a compliment because you're so beautiful. I miss you soooooooooooooooo much.
LOVE YA LOTS:)

Hey girl, how's it going up there? Well I went on my vacation, it was so much fun!! We did all sorts of stuff down there, jet skiing and such, I got a new tatoo for you, it is your chinese zodiac and in the backround is the symbol for ohm which means peace and serenity which is what I think of when I think of where you are now, at peace.It also has your initials on it, never will I forget baby girl. My brother found out yesterday that he is having another girl, we think the name will be Layla Kristin Lynn and will take his girlfriends last name for now. Can you believe he's having another one? Only 17!! But I think about how young you were and how you were robbed of a chance to do all that and it makes me think how lucky he is even if he is so young. What happened to you was so unfair, all the things you missed, but at least you have all these people who love you and miss you. I think about you all the time, I wonder when your family and you will get justice. I hear it mat be soon. I think a lot about your mom too, I see what she writes to you and everytime it makes me cry, I can't imagine what she is feeling but I hope she can get through this with the support of all the people around her. She seems like an amazing woman and must be to have to carry this pain everyday, guide her through it. She has my support, even if she doesn't know me. Any family of yours is a friend in my book, and I hope they are all doing well, I'm sure you are doing a good job of watching over them. I dream about you, those are always the best dreams and it's funny because a lot of times litttle Dave is there too. Are you guys hanging out up there? Well all I know is I miss hanging out with you, all of us do. I love you girl, and I send my love to your family, I hope the can get some resolution. Keep watching out for us, I will talk at you soon, and remember you are always on my mind and in my heart.

Linz,

Yesterday I read this magazine that sydney had and it had my horoscope in it and the only couple of things I remember it saying is that these last couple of months have been hard which is really true and I was amazed that it just happened to be my horoscope that said that it also said that I look good in purple. Well you know how I droped my phone in water and I couldn't turn it off or on well now I can turn it off and on so now it's perfect!!! You must have been watching over me because I truely do believe that your my gaurdian angel. My birthday is in 15 days and I can't wait. Ilove you so much and I talk about you soooo much that I could never forget you that's how I want it to be. Even though it hurts makes me cry I still love thinking and and talking about you because you weren't a boring girl you were always energetic and the times I had with I will cherish forever. Tucker is so hyper and so energetic lately but I know that he wants somebody to play with like this morning after my mom and Julio left he came into my room and laid on my bed and then got off later on he came into my room put his head on the bed and started wining by this time I was half way awake but I told him to come up so I could wake up a little more. He really needs a friend who he can play with all the time. My first week of school is over!! It was fun I guess. How's Lucky up in heaven? I hope he's ok I really miss both of you so much.I feel even worst because Lucky wouldn't let me give him one last hug on before vacation I said bye I didn't get to give him a hug. That's not the only thing I feel bad about I also could've said bye to you one last time the day you came over to your mom's to show her your new puppy and then she invited me over but i just had to take a shower first and then by the time I got there you were gone and I really just want to see you one more time to bye and how much you were my role model.

I LOVE YOU LOTS LINZ:)

Today has been extremely hard for me....I'm starting to realize that you're not coming home after all.



I haven't heard your voice in exactly 20 weeks.....except in movies or videos....but it's just not the same.



I used to love Fridays...now they are the worst day of the week!!



I'm not sure what tomorrow will bring but it doesn't matter since you're not here to share them with. I miss you so much baby girl...



I've been told that this happened for a reason. I don't believe that!



Everyone tells me how much you always talked about me and told them how close we were and how much you loved me. That's one bond that is so strong that it will never diminish!!



I miss your hugs, your smile, your presence when you walked into a room...nothing will ever replace that.



You are my first thought in the morning and the last before I lay down my head....I wake during the night thinking of you...thinking that life just isn't fair.



I miss you calling me everyday to that sweet voice saying "Hi Mommy, how are you?" I miss everything about you!!!! I can't wait to see you again.....until then, come see me in my dreams. I will always love you more words can express!

Thursday would've been my Grandpa Julio's birthday.I have volleyball now and it's so much fun. Wish me luck tomorrow because I have softball tryouts so I hope I make it but it won't be the worst thing if I don't make it. Tucker has been doin so much betterhe's so much happier and basicly back to his self. my old vollleyball coach went to Duke a couple weeks ago and I miss her so much I just hope she's ok so can you watch over her she was like an aunt to me. Is Lucky being good up in heaven I hope so I really do miss him a lot. It's still hard for me to believe that you're not here anymore I'm afraid that it'l never get into my brain. I really miss you.

Hey girl just wanted to drop you a few lines, I haven't wrote for a while. I have been keeping pretty bust trying to keep all negative things off my mind. Still working all the time other then that I don't do much but hang out with my boyfriend, I wish he could have met you, I tell him about you all the time. I really like this one and after all the time wasted with the wrong I hope this one works out. I feel now that there just isn't time to be wasted. Watch over us bring us together, you always were so good at the love life stuff. I really miss you a lot, the fair just opened and I want to go but no one wants to come with me and I keep thinking, Lindsey would go, but you can't. I know that your soul is close to the fair grounds so I'm sure you are watching all the fun. I love you so very much girl ,I want to know why were you taken? What happened that night? I will never rest until I find the answers. I won't ever let your memory fade, I will always be thinking of you. I gotta go but I will see you in my dreams... Love you!!

Linz,

This weekend was the Dublin Irish Festival. As we all ways do all of our cousins went. We had a blast and even some really good friends our cousins there names are Luke, Daniele, Hannah, Claire, Nick and Sadie they all Irish Step Dance. It was sooooooooo hot we all thought we were going to faint. Saturday night at the Gaelic Storm concert I looked at the sky and I saw a lot of pink clouds then I was thinking about u all night.

Tucker is doing so much better even though I know he is sad in I know he's still happy and back to his almost normal self. By the way Tucker just came over to me and I think he wants to say hi to you and Lucky. Wel my birthday's coming up next month and it's going to be really hard not seeing you at my party or sometimes after my party to say happy birthday and give me my present. I still have that big barbie house that you gave me and even some of my older friends still say that is an awesome barbie house. I miss you sooooooooooooooooo much

I LOVE YA LOTS:)

Linz,

I don't know how this year could get any worst not only have you and my grandpa but now so has my dog Lucky died to. This is the worst year of my life. Lucky died when I was on vacation it was really hard. My other dog Tucker also got diacnosed with the same thing but Tucker's was smaller and we caught it sooner. I feel so bad for him he lost his best friend and he's so depressed. I can't imagine what your best friends are going through. Please makesure Tucker is ok because I really can't take another person/dog dieing. Take care of Lucky in heaven and tell him that I really did love him a lot.

LOVE YA LOTS:)

Well when I went to pickup Julio from his hotel and while I was waiting for him to come down Derek Jeter captain of the Yakees walks past me and I say hi and he says hi how are you and I'm like good and he's like good and then I'm like great game yesterday but he didn't here me. THAT WAS AWESOME! It's been really hard lately which I know I say that every time but I really mean it this is the hardest thing that's ever happened to me. I just found out that my Kayli's grandpa has cancer and I feel really bad so if you could look after her and her family at this time.

Linz,

I've cried so much this week it's just one of those weeks that you just realize that you're not here anymore. This week has been so hard I can't even explain it. Of course when something bad happens something good usually happens after it. Yesterday for the first time in awhile I got a hold of my cousin Maeve who lives in Wisconsin and she made me feel so much better. I'm making a scrapbook of my mom and dad's family and I'm going to have you and your mom on my mom's family. At the end of the book I'm going to have a couple pages of the people who I loved and aren't here anymore. I miss you soooooooo much.

I LOVE YA LOTS:)

Hey girl, you know last night I went by the spot on 71 where you were taken from us, and I felt you there. It was hard, I haven't been able to drive on 71 since you've been gone but I see that someone put up a beautiful cross for you. I will bring you flowers soon. I'm sorry it took me so long to get there it's just that as I was on the way there the situation just hit me, in my head I was imagining how it happened and it just keeps playing through my head like how could this happen? I will never understand. I miss you and I love you, I gotta go head out of town now, I'm driving so please look after me. Love you always baby girl.

Linz,

Today I cried so much and it was because I was thinking about you. I saw your mom's garden lastnight it's so beautiful and that's why it reminds me so much of you. Guess what I finally got that knot out it's about time. I'm crying while I'm writing this it's not easy at all. I miss you so much and nothing is the same. Pucker is so big I picked him up yesterday and he was so heavy. I love that cat so much and yesterday he let me hold him longer than he ever has. When I was watching fireworks yesterday I kept thinking about you and how you're probably enjoying them as much as me right then. I miss you so much.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY (EVEN THOUGH I'M A LITTLE LATE)

I LOVE YOU LOTS:)
