Hey Buddy Boy,
Today I was looking at the good luck stones you gave me a few days before you left us. It gave me a warm feeling and I just wanted to let you know that I think about you every day. I love and miss you my friend.

Love to you big guy!!
I'll see you when I get there.
You are one of the greatest people I have ever met. I will love you forever and miss you more than that. The world is a darker place without you.

Still can't believe you are not with us. I talked to Diane yesterday. Please give her the strength to do what she has to do with the rest of her life. Between you and her mother passing in such a short period she needs your strength. Help her to go on.
Missing you now and forever my friend.
Love, Jane
