Hi Jay. To say that the month of March is hard for Meaghan and I to deal with is an under statement. I miss you so much Jay. I will always continue to love you! Always!!! The time that we were able to have with you was just not enough. You left us way too soon. Not a day goes by that we don't remember you. We miss you! We love you! One day we will be able to be together again. Until then we will remember you with a lot of love. You're in our hearts!
Always and Forever!!!

I cried today thinking of you which I do daily. Meaghan and I did our rmother daughter lunch today at Olive Garden. We listened to many songs as Meaghan drove. Meaghan has a lot of songs on her Ipod that made me cry. They were our songs. I miss you and I wish you could physically see.and hug our beautiful girl. Thankfully I see you in her every day. I love you. I always will until I get to see you again. ?

Happy Birthday JP
I'm hoping to do some finishing up on the 65 today and start driving the car more often. I'm going to take it for a ride today to celebrate your Birthday.
The factory upholstery is installed and the paint is looking good, this is going to be a nice ride. Chuck and I replaced the break fluid and installed a new Abarth exhaust system. So for now, "Happy Birthday".
Love you,

Hi my Son, I miss you and I wanted to tell you that your dog Kaya is with us now and she is a part of the family. We take her to Mexico and she has a blast, she loves to run on the beach and chase the seagulls. The holidays are different this year with out Meaghan helping with the lights and the tree but we did it and we had a good time. Meaghan is back in New Hampshire and she sounds so excited about turning sixteen and to start working and driving, plus she has a job ready so she can start making money. As for me, I retired at the end of September, I did so much want you to have my tools but they now have a new home in my new shop and by the way the boys at the shop miss you also. I have the 65 coupe at home now and in the new garage. Chuck had to install a new exhaust system and we replaced the break fluid. I also had some dents take out and the factory upholstery installed. I need to put it up on the lift and touch up the undercoating, “we sure loved that car”. Jim has your VW looking so good and it was the second car we drove into the new garage, the 65 was first and I will post the picture. I'm looking forward to 2013 and I wish you were in this world to share it with us all. The holidays are not easy.
Love you,
Dad

Happy Birthday Jay!!! Today would have been 17 years for us. Thank God for Meaghan. She is so beautiful, smart and inspiring to everyone she meets. She is doing so well here in school. She is such a great cook just like you. She is acting in school plays. I see you in her daily and that makes me smile so proudly. You were such a wonderful father. She is so tall like you. You would be very proud of her. Your legacy continues to live on in her. We love you and miss you very much. You are spoken about often with laughter. This NH weather is treating me very well. You will never be forgotten, ever. Love Crystal
March 13, 2012
Happy Birthday JP
A lot has taken place since October of 2011, Crystal moved to NH at the start of October and Meaghan came to stay with Ann and I so she could finish
out her first year at THS. Meaghan did a very good job with school and we enjoyed Thanksgiving and Christmas with her. This New Years Crystal married
her friend Derek and is doing well. Meaghan missed her mom very much so she has moved back to New Hampshire to be with Crystal. I miss you and Meaghan now more than ever and having Meaghan around was a big help to me. She is very much like you and I see you in her. I hope Meaghan lets me know how things are going for her in school and what she is doing with her time. She is so beautiful and smart and I miss seeing her all the time. You did a good job with Meaghan and if you where with us today you would be very pleased.
I love you forever,
Dad

I just learned of this tragedy a few minutes ago from RV and Susan. I am very sad. JP was an amazing person. Always full of love and a great friend. He helped me out of a few rough situations by just being a great friend. The last time I saw Jay was in the grocery store right after my daughter Bayley was born 14 years ago. I remember how happy I was for him when he told me had a little girl too. My sincerest condolences to his wife and daughter and to Skip, who I had the pleasure of meeting a long time ago and of course to the rest of his family. I will always have fond memories of JP. May he rest in peace.

Hi Babe. I miss you!!! I am having a hard time right now because I am moving to NH again. I wish I were moving with you!!! You loved NH. Meaghan did too and she still does but she is refusing to move with me which kinda hurts but I understand because I was her age when I moved to AZ. I was sad at first but when I made new friends I became happy again. Fast forward to 24 years of age, I met you. Together we made the most wonderful little lady. She is stubborn like us and she wants to live here in Tucson with your Dad and Ann. I understand and I trust them completely with our girl. It is just gonna be so hard to be away from her. She is a teenager and I know she is smart but I worry like crazy about her. Why did you have to die??? Even though we would fight it never ever meant that you didn't mean the world to me. You still do because you are in my heart forever. I might be moving on but it isn't the same. Lindsay feels that you would approve 100% of the decisions I am making. I hope so. I kinda wonder if you specifically chose for me to be with Derek because you knew about him and I think you chose him because you know he will take care of me and Meaghan. He won't let anything happen to me or our daughter. He has told her that there is no way that he is trying to be her father because YOU are her father. I like the fact that he respects the fact that you and I loved each other very much and forever. He also knows that he can never ever replace you in my heart. Nobody can and nobody ever will. Meaghan wants to live in NH after she graduates from the 9th grade. I am having a very hard time with the fact that the two of us won't be together for a few months but like I said, I trust your father and Ann. When you, me and Meaghan lived in NH I used to cook dinner every night and do laundry etc. I can't do it here in Arizona Jay, I can't. If anybody knows that you and God do. I hope that when Meaghan starts living with me again she notices a huge difference in my health. I don't want to be a zombie. I want to be able to see our grandchildren. I want to see you in them. I see you in Meaghan every day and I am very proud of her although she has a tendency to upset me because she is disrespectful towards me. I suppose now ah days that is how the children are but I can't stand it and neither can my body. God works in miraculous ways. He needed you for a specific reason and I know that the reason is because you are a great, strong and handsome man. You are always in my heart and you always will be. Thank God for Meaghan!!! I love you forever just like I promised. Forever!!!!! xoxoxoxoxo

Hi babe. I finally am able to use a PC to say Happy Belated Anniversary. You know how it is in NH with trying to get reception and then I also have to wait until everybody isn't on their computers doing this, that or whatever. I am in NH with our girl and we are having the best time ever. We have visited Janet and while eating we talked of how much you loved her food. She and Linds loved you so much. You are never far from my heart because you are in it forever. The weather is treating me so well here. I am barely taking any medicine. The 3 of us were gonna move to Sonoita due to the health issue with me and it would have been awesome because the weather there is like the weather here in NH. My friend took me by Hectors place and I just burst into tears but had to laugh too because he was a French man and he was calling to talk to me and you cussed him out until you realized it was one of the most important men in my life...my fill in Grampa. That was funny. I thank God I get to see you in our beautiful daughter every day. She has been having so much fun...of course she likes the beach but she also likes all of my friends and they just adore her. She is spoiled by them which does not surprise me. She deserves it. I love you and I will forever love you!!!!! Kisses and hugs are being sent to you in Heaven. Love your wife.

Hi babe. Yesterday was a little tough. The alternator went on the car so a friend helped jump the car and we headed to Pep Boys. Of course, by now I am on a first name basis with all of the employees. It is a good thing that I have saved change and any bit of money that I can because the alternator needed to be taken out, replaced and so on. I have had to replace everything on that car so it is as if it is a brand new one. It's too big for me but Meg will be driving soon. The part that was shocking for me was when I had to sign the paperwork. It was under your name. It surprised me and made it a little tough to hold back the tears but it made me feel as though you were there. You are every where and it is very funny when I am looking for something because I can't find it and then all of the sudden it is right in front of my face. Your Nana used to do that to the both of us. I thank God that I still feel you, know you are in my heart, know that I see you every day in our beautiful daughter's eyes and know that I will love you forever. Life sucks without you but I am doing what I promised you, I am taking the best care of Meaghan with all that I am and with all that I have got. She is such a wonderful reminder every day of our deep love for each other. I miss you babe!!! I love you babe!!!
Your wife, me, is sending you hugs and kisses from here to you in Heaven. XOXOXOXOX

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY MY BEAUTIFUL HUSBAND!!! As the knot in my throat forms I want you to know that I couldn't be more overwhelmed that you are the father to our beautiful daughter. In honor of you we are going to eat @ Franks today. We will then keep our minds occupied by trying to have fun, laugh and love one another with all that we are. I miss you, Meaghan misses her Daddy but we know that you are with us at all times. Tears are streaming down my face Jay so I am going to stop typing so that I do not put myself into an attack. If anybody would understand this, YOU would. I love you so much babe forever!!!! Hugs and kisses are being sent from me to you in Heaven...not just today, every day. xoxxo

Babe, our precious baby daughter graduated from middle school today. I watched her beautiful face glow as she was proud of herself. I told her you were too. The lump in my throat just will not go away. I can't stand life without you. I am miserable and I smiles but I hurt so bad babe and I know our girl hides her pain extremely well. Why did this have to happen? You are in my heart every moment of my life. Your Pooter and I are scared about this disease that I have. No. I am not doing good...I have seizures and that scares the heck out of Meaghan. I am not scared but our baby is and the guilt is overwhelming. I just want you back. Please be with us Jay because we need you so desperately. Godzilla joined you and Angel in Heaven last week. I remember when you and I bought him. It is hard for me to type right now but please know you are a part of my heart. I promised I will love you forever and that is a promise I will never break.
I love you forever my gorgeous husband!!! xoxoxo

Hey babe....just to let you know the dyslexia is what made her spell the word bud....it is supposed to be bus. There is no way in heck she is ever doing drugs. I am very proud of her. Of course we fight, we are mother and daughter. I only want the best for her but she makes decisions sometimes that I don't approve of. I try to raise her knowing what you would have wanted for her. You are always with me babe and I know you are with her. I now go to Parenting Classes and I love it. It has helped Meg and I a lot. The disease stuff scares her and it scares me too but I am positive you will get us through this. I love you forever just like always and just know that I am doing my best. The fighting is probably due to the fact that I have not been on any medication for 3 months due to the darn refrigerator. I know if you were alive you would have fixed it or bought us a new one but you are our angel instead and I just know you will not let God take me from our girl while she is still so young. Please keep giving me the strength. I love you so much and I always will. Tons of love from the woman who is proud to be your wife Jay. Love your soul mate Crystal forever!!!! xoxoxoxo

Hi babe. I had to enroll our daughter in high school last night. It was so hard to do because you are supposed to be there with us. Of course I mentioned you to the woman who was enrolling her. I always mention you. Meaghan is getting a bit mouthy with me lately...more than usual. I always wonder what she would be like if you were still alive. Probably more responsible. She wanted me to go on this oral drug that has side affects of causing cancer and herpes. So I decided for her that I would do it because the refrigerator froze my shots I am no longer a candidate for shots anymore. Now that I have decided to take the oral pill she is acting awkward towards me. I believe she is scared. Can you please wrap your loving arms around her and let her know it will be okay. I have never seen a more beautiful girl in my life with Purple hair. People think we are sisters and I always say she looks like her Dad. She does, simply gorgeous. Her counselor suggested I take parenting classes because I am a single mother with this disease and trying to raise her on my own. I like the classes. They are fun. The back yard breaks my heart because our swing once again has gotten even more ruined and the cactus that we built together fell apart but there is still a little bit of it left so I will try to bring it back to life. I can't garden like I used to. I can't do much of anything like I used to and the guilt that I have is incredible concerning our daughter, if she only knew. Rickie told me a funny story about you and him when the two of you went out one night. It made me laugh so hard. You left us all with such wonderful memories and you are missed so much. No one could be another Jay Andree. No one. You were one of a kind. I love you forever babe!!!! A kiss from me to Heaven for you. xoxoxoxoxox

Words will never be enough to explain just how much I miss you, I love you and I want you back. I can't really type to you today because my heart is just broken and it will never be repaired until I die and I am reunited with you. I love you so much!!!! Forever...just like I promised you.

Happy Birthday babe. Today is a day that makes me smile & it also makes me sad...you are not here. I loved buying you your presents. I loved hiding them from you. I loved that you would guess what was in every package that I gave you. I love YOU!!! We went to the Gaslight Theater on Friday night. Your father got us tickets. We had a blast but there was one thing missing...you. Meaghan and I laughed as the women who flirted with you were performing their act. I can see why they chose you out of the crowd. You were the most gorgeous man in the room. You are the most gorgeous man in my heart. You will always be there. I will never stop loving you. I just can't. I wish you were here instead of there but you are free from pain so that in itself is a very big birthday present to you from God. I am going to add a picture to this for you and all to see your beautiful little girl. She really isn't little Jay...but she really is you....I am so grateful for that blessing God has given to me so that I can see you in her eyes every day. I asked God to have Elvis sing a song to him on his birthday but today I am asking God to have Mike Starr play the guitar for your birthday. Nor would enjoy that too. I love you forever!!!! xoxoxoxo

Happy Birthday my son. Ann and I are cleaning out some of the old stuff up over the garage and came across some things from your 13th Birthday. We also came across a china painting you and my mom did and it is very cool. I'm giving it to Meaghan if she wants it. Today we will keep working on all that old stuff and see what we come across. You are in my thoughts every day,

Babe, I am in some trouble health wise. Dr. Bacon told me yesterday that I am Anemic. Told me I have a high risk of having a heart attack, very low red blood cell count, etc. Jay I love you more than you will ever know but I do not want to be with you in Heaven until I am able to watch our great-grandchildren play. Meaghan needs me she says. Can you please give me the strength that you always gave to me when you were alive? I am praying like you and I would pray around our glass coffee table. I have got to beat this stuff babe. Gotta do it for our baby. I am strong but I am sick of having to always be strong. I will do it for Meg though because she is also you. I will do it for the both of you. I love you tremendously forever!!! Love, your wife Crystella...ha ha. You were so funny when you called me that. I miss you!!!

Cheers, I miss Jay he was a close friend. He never bad mouthed anyone, nor did he have bad will. Jay was a man, his family should be proud of him. I still think of him often and look forward to playing a game chess in heaven.

Jay my babe,
Yesterday at 6:11pm 14 years ago God blessed us with the birth of our child, Meaghan. I remember you sparkling with pride as you held her and how she stole your heart instantly. When I gave birth to her that is when my life actually started. I have you to thank for that. I know that you have been with her for the past two days celebrating her birthday. She is such a wonderful blessing Jay. She is so much like you in so many ways. Stubborn at times but mainly wonderful all other times. Just like you babe. I love you always and I thank you with all that I am for creating this wonderful blessing for all of us who love her to enjoy. May you be resting in Heaven peacefully and smiling down at your amazing girl at all times. Forever PJs--ha ha....just had to pick on you because I love you. Love your wife, Crystal, who is the mother to the most beautiful girl in the world. xoxoxo

Hi babe!!! I am just missing you soooo much. Your always on my mind. I hope that in Heaven you were able to celebrate your grandmother's birthday together along with others that touched your lives. She was on my mind a lot. Christmas was good this year. We went to you Dad's house and we just had a blast. Meaghan was just as spoiled as she has always been since she was born. I was spoiled too. Then we went to Caroline & Anthony's place which in a way was like an ideal place to be due to the fact that I lived with them when I was carrying our daughter. Last night we brought in the New Year by staying home and eating Caroline's green chili pepper corn tamales. You would love them. Yesterday she brought over an enormous bag of them as a gift. I love them but the only reason I love Mexican food is due to the fact that you turned me on to it. You were bound and determined on making me love Mexican food. Well, you did just that. Knowing 4 years ago today you were alive leaves the biggest lump in my throat and it makes me cry. You will always be my guy. Never will there be another. It is just not as fun anymore, not the same anymore and it breaks my heart. I know I will be with you again but I just wish I could be with you now. This darn Lexus we got is not the one that I had put money down on to buy. The one I was gonna buy had gold L's on the inside of the tires. I only recently came to to the conclusion that this one does not have the gold L's They pulled a fast one on me really good. If you were here that never would have happened. Rickie told me when I was trying to ask him for help that car dealers are like snakes...now I know that. I am trying so hard to save money to get it fixed or whatever I have to do but can you please guide me with your loving heart because this is just too hard to do by myself. I don't know about cars babe. If anybody knows that you do. Today starts a new year. 11 is one of my lucky numbers so maybe it will turn out to be a good year. I know you are with me in spirit because we are soul mates. We went through a lot of ups and downs but that is what unconditional love is all about. I thank God for the blessing he gave me when you walked through my front door and we became friends. Jay you will be the one. Forever!!!! I will love you always~forever!!!! Love your wife also known as your butterfly, Crystal. xoxo P.S.~ Our beautiful daughter is strong, smart, breath taking and talented but not a day goes by that she does not miss her Daddy!!!

Jay, my babe I miss your so much. The holidays are coming up and I do not want to be part of them because you are not here. They keep telling me it gets easier but that is a lie because it doesn't. It is not easy to be Crystal without you. I have at least 40 more years on this planet and I don't really want to go on and live the 40 years without you. You are always in my heart, on my mind and in my soul. I can't stand it without you. Thank God we have Meaghan....A girly Jay as one of your friends describes her. I miss you tons!!!! Forever babe. Forever!!!!
Love your wife always, Crystal

Hey babe...Still missing you my gorgeous husband and loving you always. I have great news...our girl made the basketball team again and she is a starter!!!! Yay, this is all because of what you taught your little girl to do. I wish you were here to play ball with her because she just might beat you. She is an amazing girl Jay and forever she will always be you. I am so glad about that. I am honored to be the mother of your child because you knew how to make the most beautiful baby girl in the universe. When I go to the games I will take pictures to post them in your memory book because everyone really needs to know what you were to your daughter and what you taught your daughter. I love you and I miss you. For the rest of my life you will continuously be on my mind until we kiss again in eternity!!!! Until then a huge kiss from me to you now in Heaven. Love Crystal xoxoxo

Jay, I really need you more than ever. Meaghan wants to get her lip pierced. I don't want her messing up that beautiful face we made together but she is desperate for me to say yes. I say no but I wish you were alive for this type of thing. She has a boyfriend who is very responsible but I wanted you here to scare the hell out of any of them. Rickie is doing a good job of talking to her and telling her what is right from wrong but he isn't here all of the time. I feel lost big-time without you. I am having a very hard time without you. I miss you so much. Your little "Pooter" is just not so little any more. She is quite the challenge but I am doing my best. Taking care of her, getting her fed, taking her to school, paying all of the bills which sucks because I can't even afford to buy her a new pair of shoes like she wants. Maybe one day she can fit into your shoes. Everything reminds me of you. Little Pepper does because you loved him so much and you were the one to name him. I just really hope that wherever you are in this universe you are able to understand how much I loved you and how much I will always love you. Meaghan is you!!!! Do you remember when you asked me if I would remarry if you ever died? You said you wouldn't if I died. Well, I don't want to marry anybody else ever besides you. We miss you!!!! I love you forever!!!!!

Hi babe. I never knew that a person can stay on your mind constantly until I lost you. Not a minute goes by that you are not on my mind. So many great memories, I wish we could have made more. I am sad because we are going to go to the Gas Light Theater and you loved that place. You didn't think you would but I told you that you would you silly guy. Jay there is never gonna be another love like you ever again and that is fine because we are still married...always. I don't want to be with anyone except for you. I hate motorcycles!!!!! I know it was your passion but it was and always will be my fear. Meaghan is amazing. You did such a wonderful job being a Daddy for the 10 short years that you had each other but whatever you did it made her so strong, caring, loving, compassionate and she is simply gorgeous, exactly like you. I am so glad our baby girl was made out of love because that is what God wants in our world. Meaghan is pure love!!! I miss you so much. I want you back. My job is to do what I promised you and that is to take the very best care of Meaghan. I know in my heart though that I am not doing it alone because I can feel you with me as I am taking care of her. I love her so much. From Heaven I know that she makes you smile and you are proud of her. I just know it. Please walk with her every moment that I am not able to be with her. Please keep her safe. I love her so much. She is our Meaghan Jay, our little girl. When you and Nana named her you both did such a beautiful job because her name is perfect just like she is. I love you forever Jay...forever!!! The two greatest days in my life were when our girl was born and when you married me. Just the greatest. You live in my heart babe until we are able to live with each other in eternity forever. Until we kiss again, Love your wife.

Hi babe, Meaghan found a box of cards and letters that you and I sent to eachother all of the time. Alot of love notes, grocery lists that we would write funny things on, just everything about you and I. She found your drawings. I cried and I cried and I cried. Thank God we had Meaghan Jay because I see you in her everyday. I just wish you were alive because life hurts so bad without you. Meaghan misses you so much. She wants her Daddy. She asks me if you would be proud of her and I tell her you would be extremely proud of her. Yes we had our ups and downs but we always returned to eachother. I went a little crazy and I wasn't myself when I lost you for a while but it took one look at Meaghan and I turned my life around because I promised you I would take care of her and I love her unconditionally just like I loved and still love you. I still consider myself your wife because you died being my husband. I will always love you forever!!!! You live safely in my heart with God. Thank you for Meaghan. Love your wife forever, Crystal

Hi babe, it is 12:13 am in the morning. Funny because 12 & 13 were our numbers. It is July 12th and my heart is bearing a scar that will never heal and it is always crying from the pain. I can't get you out of my mind. You and I were supposed to re-marry today and we were supposed to be in Hawaii because we never had a honeymoon. Sometimes this all feels like a nightmare but I then find myself awake and it is reality. My birthday means nothing to me without you. I will never get over you. Never Jay, never. Happy Anniversary babe. Just know that you are in my heart at all times. You are one special man!!!! You were taken from all of us who love you when you were way too young to go....especially taken from your daughter. I miss you!!!! Kisses always to you. Love Crystal

Hi babe...9 years ago today I showed you the tattoo that I got of the rose you had drawn for me a month after we got together. It was a surprise for you that I got done without you knowing. I showed it to you 2 days before we got married on my 30th birthday. You cried your heart out. I am having such a hard time as the days get closer to my birthday because it is more than a birthday....it is our anniversary. I miss you so much that it makes my heart hurt so much. One day we will be together again but until then I carry you in my heart. Meaghan misses her Daddy too but Uncle Rickie helps her out with the things that he knows you would have done with her. They bike ride, they go to RIncon, they clean the yard and play with the dogs. I am so glad he is in her life. He quit drinking because he loves her Jay and he knows she needs him. Life sucks without you....it just plain sucks but I am living for our girl like I promised you that I would. Half of me is missing and that half is you. I love you so much Jay and I always will....Forever!!! Just like we promised. Hugs and kisses from me to you in Heaven. Love Crystal...your wife forever.

Hi babe! It is getting harder and harder to keep living without you. Meg and I are struggling but we know you are watching over us. We are both in counseling now. It took me a long time to admit I needed help but I am doing it for our girl. I feel bad for our baby because I am not strong so I can't do what she is doing. She is basically being the man of the house. It just saddens me. The 3 of us had it all Jay. There is never going to be anyone like you ever again in either of our lives. I have a long time to go until I get to be in your loving arms again but when I see you happiness will overwhelm me. Jay, babe, can you please help Meaghan and I. Just help us to get through....please babe. Rickie is back in our lives. I know you would like that because the two of you were like brothers when you were together. He misses you too. Meg made it on the honor roll 3 times. She is a genious just like my Grampa told us.
I love you forever and ever. Kisses and hugs from me to you in Heaven. May your halo shine bright!!!! Forever babe...your wife.

Jay always made me laugh. And I'll always remember playing chicken with him on more than one occasion in that one-lane alley behind our apartments in Tucson. I always gave up because I knew he wouldn't. And I'm grateful that he brought a beautiful, smart and wonderful girl into this world with Crystal. We have Meg as his legacy and that's something so special.

Babe~they say it is supposed to get easier as time passes by but it isn't....it is getting harder. Meaghan is just not doing very well at all without you. She needs her Daddy...I need her Daddy. This isn't fair and it wasn't supposed to happen. Not being able to see your gorgeous beautiful face is so hard because you had a presense that was very intense and I miss it. We go on of course but not without lumps in our throats every dang day. Always I will miss you and always I will love you. Meaghan feels the same. Hugs and kisses from me to you in Heaven.
We will continue forever babe just like you told me.
Love your wife, Crystal xoxoxoxo

Hi my Son
Well the day has come and Meaghan is now Thirteen and she is the best. Crystal is doing very well keeping her in line and on track with school. We are all very happy with the way things are going and I want you to know we all miss you and think of you all the time.
Love you,

Hi babe....we sent to you today your beautiful girl Lola. She had a blessed life with you and she continued on for as long as she could with us. Our hearts are broken. Pepper is having a hard time as well as Kaya. We will care for them as we did Lola...with tremendous love. We know that she is with you. We are happy that she is with you but she will be missed by myself, your daughter and your brother in law. Your brother in law Rickie took good care of her just like you did. We put her to rest in the pit that you dug for a Thanksgiving several years ago. The charred wood was still there, the bricks were there and the beer bottles were there too. It made the memories flow back and it made us smile. She is by the plants that she loved. In the picture that I took of her grave you can see the shadow of the cactus that you and I planted together. My life with you was something I will never have again. Altough at times there were troubles in our marriage I would never change a thing. There will never be another you and there will never be another Lola. The two of you are now together forever. Please know that we miss you every second of our days....now we will miss your Lola every second of our days. The two of you are what made us a family. May the two of you rest in peace. We love you!!!!
~Love Crystal, Meaghan and Rickie~

Hey babe....oh God how I wish u were here. We have had two very scary nights and if u were here I know nothing would have happened to us. Meaghan and I know you are our angel and that u r protecting the two of us plus u r protecting your dad and Anne and Rickie. There is not a day that goes by that we do not talk about u and think of u constantly. U r not a person that u can just get over. I will never get over u. I saw you two nights ago right behind the suburban and u blew me a kiss and I blew u one right back. I came inside and your Pooter told me I was as white as a sheet of paper. I told her it was because I just saw Daddy. I know u r here all day everyday I just wish I could have a big hug. You were the best hug giver I have ever known in my life. You will never be gone from my heart. I still wear our wedding rings because u placed them on my finger and I refuse to take them off cuz we promised to be together till death do us part. BUT u and I always said forever. Forever means forever. U died being my husband. I am alive being your wife!!!! Always!!! Your little girl looks exactly like u and she gives me these certain looks that u always gave me so I know u r right there in front of my eyes. She is identical to u and u would be very proud of her. She is absolutely gorgeous as you were the most gorgeous man I had ever known. She knows u r with her at all times. U make the both of us feel safe. I love u forever just like I promised u at our beloved place where we made Meaghan. U r forever in my heart babe. Forever!!!! Lola is staying strong and living on but soon she will join u in beautiful Heaven. Her aches and pains will go away as did yours. I love u babe and I miss you!!!
Always and forever!!!! Kisses from me to you in Heaven!!!!
With so much love,
Your wife & your "Babe" Crystal

Forever Jay...just like we told each other. 12 years continues!!!!!!! Muah!!!!!
