My dear Kimbo,
Its been a year and one month since you left us. My world is completly changed. I am at such a loss on what to do next. You were my soul mate and my cheerleader. You always made me laugh and always knew what to say to make me feel better. My life is so different. A part of me is gone forever. How do I move forward? People say that it gets easier everyday. I think it is harder. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you or shed a tear. The whole in my heart is so large, it will never heal. I love you so much and noone will ever take your place in my heart. Our children are taking one baby step at a time, trying to make sense of all of this. I wish that I could of spared them this heartache, but I could not.
Always remember that you are loved and missed and someday we will be together.
I LOVE YOU KIMBO!!!!!!!
Watch over my heart my love, for I have left it with you.
I will love you until I take my last breath on this earth.
I Love You Kimbo,
Love Sis

OMG sissy I'm so sorry.. I have thought about you all so often.
I'm at a loss for words at this time. From the time of Delivering his news paper to baby sitting your children. Even when we were apart, you were and always will be in my heart.

Kool-Aid....My Friend, and My Best friend. I can't picture a World without you in it, it just doesn't feel right. I know that I will see you again someday, and that comforts me. Until then, I will be "cold blooded in my tennis shoes" until we get together and celebrate. Be at peace my Friend.

Daddy, You left me so suddenly in this world. It's not fare because you were so amazing to your family. Not a day goes by that I do not think of you. When I see a bird, or a cool plant I smile & think of you. You would be able to tell me what they are. You were the greatest Daddy. Till this day it's still so hard to believe that your gone. I miss seeing your face & your smile. You always knew how to light up everyone around you. Nothing has been the same since you left. I wish with my whole heart that I could bring you back so that I could have my last dance with you. You are forever in My heart. Until we meet again Dad. I love you Daddy,
<3 ur lil Girl
