Hey dad, I hope you know you will always be in my heart when I'm going through the good times and bad.
One day, it won't be very soon though but one day, we will all reunite again.
We all love and miss you.
Sincerely, your son Jayden

Ray Ray,
We've had some crazy adventures, brother. And they all started with a job to do. For fixing cars that just didn't seem to want to be fixed. Remodeling houses. You're in beautiful structures and rebuilding friendships. I remember the day we met and you walked up to my house and looked on the front porch and said, "That's my frog, right there." A little copper frog I bought from my grandmother at Callaway Gardens. It was one of only two things that I wanted after my grandmother passed. It was special to her and me. And to know it was one of your creations...That's something special. You had a heart of gold, brother. And I know God's got a special jackpot just waiting for you to hit.
