Bubby,
2 months ago today our lives were changed and would never again be the same after 4:24 on Aug 7, 2010. I still miss waking up in the mornings to beat you in the shower, Ive been late a lot now because I have no reason to rush. Simba misses you more then any animal we have, he follows me around EVERYWHERE Jack wouldnt let me take him to work today, I wanted too! I dont think mom and dad have the strength yet to wrtie on here but you know they love you and we all love you. Words cant say how much we miss you. I do not think things will ever be okay again tho without you. Dad listens to Jack Johnson now... yeah, I know right things have changed! I miss you and I love you and I cant imagine my life without my twin brother now... Dont worry about me tho Jay is taking care of me and Snack, Lunchie,David, and all those guys. I love them to death so you def left me in good hands! Eveything we do every weekend... we do it for you!
You only live twice bubby, I hope the second time around up there is everything you dreamed of and dont forget to clear off my piece of sand on the beach for me and Mom... we are going to need some major RR when we get to you!
I LOVE YOU BUBBY

Adam my precious Adam I still listen for you to walk through my front door , but I know it will never happen again. I’ll always remember that you stood for right. You were religious. I looked forward to seeing you nearly every Sunday night at church. You were true to your beliefs. I thank God for our short wonderful life together. Adam growing up you were a great person. Adam you had so many friends. Your visitation and funeral showed your many friends. There was standing room only. Son you left a great testimony. I have so many beautiful memories of you , I really depended on you. I will keep remembering all the fun we had together. You lived more in your twenty one years than most people live their whole lives. You always brought your friends to see me. We would laugh and fun even your girlfriends. A lot of your friends have come to see me. All of them have told them how much you loved me. They told me you were always telling them about the things I did for you. Babe I loved you just as much. I was so proud of you Adam , you made proud to have such a great and wonderful grandson. I'm so thankful that you always hugged me , kissed me, and told me you loved me when you left. So many good memories Adam,I'll try to take comfort from them.
Sometimes god picks the flower that is still in full bloom, sometimes the rosebud's chosen that's how we feel. He's picked too soon.
Sometimes the flower is fading with petals floating, but god knows the perfect time to pick flowers from the ground.
There is a Heavenly garden in which God takes pleasure in because He's placed Adam within it. Our treasured loved one.
He walked among the blossoms giving them eternal rest . I know it must please Him because He chose our best Adam.
Sleep in peace My precious darling. I don't know how I will ever live without you, but I am consoled, to know you went to Heaven where I will soon be with you again.
You and I always had a lot of fun. You brought your friends here a lot. I have a lot of good memories. You loved to tease me and I loved it just as much as you did doing it.
I'll always remember the last time , you changed my break light the whole time you were saying “Grandma you are getting careless. I came to check the yard to also to see if it needs mowing, nope I don't have to mow today.” Little did I know this was the last time I would see you. Rest in heaven with Grandpa Dwane. I know he was thrilled to greet you at the pearly gates.
I love you so much
Grandma Shirley

I"m almost at a loss for words...I only knew Adam for 3 years but it felt like a lifetime. Adam reminded me of my son who is only 4 years younger. He was so smart and super funny. I can't even imagine the pain and sorrow that you are going through, Adam will be missed...he touched our lives.

If We Could Bring You Back Again
If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.
If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.
If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You’d know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would.
