I pray all your pain has eased, all your worries gone, your tears are of happiness celebrating the life we all had with Bojack. He treated me like i was his. He told me i was the girl he never had. I could hang right in there with those four boys. Your family was my family. Im not the only one he has taken care of either. No one has been turned away from the Turner home ever...He was a steady male figure for me growing up. Ill never forget❣ Missing you Buddy and the fun things we did together❣ You and my lil brother Michael 4-28-1971- 3-4-2019 carry on til I see you again❤
