Baby, there isn't a day when i haven't thought about you. You are my heart and soul my world. you were and are the love of my life.

I love you forever and always you are my heart. Your Wife Jillian Gowdy.....

I met u through ricky n mikey. i remember the day u all came to my house to get chayce with them and no one wanted to carry him in the snuggie, they were to afraid they would look goofy and u volunteered to carry him. and from that day forward i had alot of respect for u. i enjoyed our time that we shared with each other and i will never forget u or ur smile......
