To my friend Art, I am settng here thinking about you right now and I wish we could go have lunch today as we did so many times and I miss the conversations and the fun times we always had laughing and cutting up and teasing each other, and MAN I wish you were here to help me with this contract in our union negotiations, sometimes theres so much b.s. and I could really use the intellect you had dude. But the thing I think I really miss is just hanging with you because you were so down to earth and cool to be around, Like the time about a year ago when we raced that mustang with your chevy and you whiped the kid lol hehe we might have been twice his age but you were a kid at heart when circumstances permitted and that what was so fun about you, you would be professional when you needed to be or a kid not to mention the friend you were if I needed help you were there no matter what and I MISS YOU ART. sincerely K.C.

Happy Anniversary my love. If tears could build a stairway & memories were a lane I would walk right up to heaven & bring you back again. My heart still aches in sadness & secret tears still flow what it meant to lose you. I pledge to you today & always within my heart you'll always stay. You were my soul mate, my best friend. I only wish that I could comprehend the reason you had to depart so soon leaving me here in all of this gloom.

Dear Art;
You were an amazing husband to my cousin Robin and that in itself is enough to grant you access to heaven. But by all accounts you were equally amazing as a father, brother, son and friend. It was a honor to know you and a great sorrow to have lost you.
Go with God and know that you were loved.

Yesterday, it was one month. They say all is fair in love, but for me that's just not true. I feel like someone took a knife & cut my life in two. They say it's better to have love & lost than to have never loved at all. At least that's what they say, but what do they know. Well they're not trying to live without you. I'm not over you & I doubt that I'll ever be. Our love will last an eternity.

Art
In out lives few people really make an impact. Your example in school always made a difference in my life-thank you. My memories of you in high school were of a man who never spoke an evil word of anyone, always stuck up for the underdog and never gave up on anything. My only regret is that our lives took us in different directions that did not afford us more contact. In the words of a great man " You did it right" would describe your life as described by all who spoke about you. I would be a lucky man to be thought of as your loved ones do you. Robyn my prayers will be with you and if you ever need anything please do not hesitate to call me.

Art, I will miss you forever! You are a wonderful friend and I am so glad we met. We shared many laughs and you gave such great parenting advice. I don't know what I'll do without you. I Love You.
Robin, I love you, too. Whenever I watch the movie "Seabiscuit", I will always remember that that is when we all met (Thanks to Mary)! I pray that God's tender mercies will heal your broken heart.

With Love & Prayers,
Karen
