My best friend since 1992/93... My heart is shattered! My kids hearts are broken! We have so many amazing memories together. Acting like fools, parties, cookouts, years of visits while you were on "vacation", rides around the city, hours upon hours of laughing, crying, talking bout our lives & how we´d always be Stone Daddy & Grey Girl. All 6 of my children called Brian, Stone Daddy. My youngest son Jamison is named after a dear friend Brian & I lost in 1994. Stone you will always be in my heart you will always be with me, our special bond will always be! I will forever love & cherish everyone second we´ve had together...

Loving you always
Carey J aka C.J aka Grey Girl
