Buffy,
Well I can't believe its been a year and half. The hurt feels like just yesterday. But I know that you are looking over your babies. They are doing good. I think they really like the new house and school and we are less then a mile from them so the kids see each other everyday. Jason and Kyle have become very close and I love that. Harold is doing a great job with them. You would be very proud of them all. Jess is letting her hair grow out it is getting so long she is so pretty. Jason still the sweet loving (bad)lol boy he always was. Its hard to believe that Jess will be in middle school next year she is so grown. Well I just wanted to to say hi and we love and miss you so much until we meet again all my love..

Buffy,
This year has gone by quickly. Your children are growing so fast. I enjoy seeing them when they come by or I run into them somewhere. You would be very proud of both of them and of Harold. He is a wonderful father to them.
I know that you watch over them all the time. Until we meet again in heaven...I miss you every day.
Love, Your Adopted MOM....Pinkie

Buffy,
I have thought about you so much during the last year. I know we drifted for the last few years but I have always considered you one of my very best friends. The memories of PI, hanging out, sneaking out, clubs (Quigleys!), Ocean City... I cherish them all. My dad just died on the one year anniversary of your death. I am kind of jealous that you get to have him with you now in heaven! Julia says your kids are doing well and are doing great in school. I was so relieved to hear that. I know we will hang out again someday.
Love,
Christy

All My Love Till We Meet Again In Heaven.

Buffy, Just wanted to take a few minutes to tell you that I think about you all the time. I really dont think there is a day that goes by that your not on my mind. I always think about everything we did together and how much you mean to me. I see Jess and Jason alot and that wont chance. Harold is doing really good with them. Jess has perfect attendance at school and she is so happy about that. Jason what can I say he is all boy loves his hotrods and stuff. I know they miss you so much and love you even more. They had a really nice Christmas and Jess had a great party the only thing that could have made any of it better is if you were here. We miss you and love you so much talk to you again soon all my love forever... Sherri

Buff,
It is hard to express my feelings in writing. In the short year that we became friends you were one of the best. It had been along time since I had met someone so caring and willing to put everyone’s feelings and needs before their own. I wanted to thank for you for being there for me. I am glad that I was there for you when you needed someone to talk, laugh and cry with. I will never forget the goods times at the track, cook outs and just talking to you everyday, four and five times a day, on the phone. I will miss you and I know Gerald will miss your funny little cards and gifts in the mail. We will all miss you. No more tears.
Love,

My Special Adopted Daughter,
"Buffy" I am so proud to have had the pleasure of knowing you and having you in my life. When you would write me and tell me that you considered me you "adopted MOM" it meant the world to me. I have saved every note and card you ever sent me, and I will forever.
It is so hard to believe that I will never see your beautiful smiling face or hear your sweet voice here on earth. I know that one day we will be reunited in HEAVEN.
It gives me comfort to know that GOD, your PAPA and DICK are there in HEAVEN with you to make sure that you never hurt again.
I will do all in my power to help Harold, Jessie ,Jason and Page. It will give me great pleasure to keep your memory alive in their hearts.
Until we meet again in HEAVEN..I will remember the great times we had together and that you LOVED me and I will MISS you everyday.
I LOVE YOU.
ALWAYS, Your Adopted "MOM"

to have just seen you in june,and not have been able to see you walk through the door in august was just heart-breaking to me.i kept waiting to see you appear around the corner with a big smile.i take for granted to be able to go "so long" without seeing my family,that i expect them to be there always!it's true,but very sad to say,you were the reason we made it down your way,you were the third person in my life to have to be taken away in 3 months and you were the hardest to get through.i could'nt even go up and say that final good-bye,but i know you can hear me,i know you understand why.i told aunt mary that i know you were not alone when god took you,you had jesus,your papa and of course "uncle duncle" the best of people to care for you now and with the latter two characters to watch you,i know your smile will never go away,and when i want to see you smile,all i'll have to do is look at jessica's big smile you had given her!i'll love you and miss you always,donna

Taken
Life can be taken
in a blink of an eye
you're breathing the minute
right before you die
It could turn so fast
you just never know
any day, any place
when it's your time to go
Can happen in seconds
safe or unexpected
anywhere is possible
even sheltered and protected
No chance to cry
not even to think
in that very moment
you're on the brink
Soon as you take
your very last breath
a new life is born
as a result of your death
Can't live in fear
but just think about it
maybe your unknown destiny
is that you life has a limit
I love and miss you more than anything.

Buffy,
Words can't express how sad I am that my only sister on this planet has been taken away. We talked ALL the time about anything and everything. Jessica told me that her and Jason will be strong because that is what there mommy would want them to do. I see you in them. I only wish that you guide Harold and give him strength. I will miss you so much and hold every laugh and tear we shared in my heart. I LOVE YOU BUFF STANG!

Buffy,
I just want to let you know that I will be here for Harold and the kids no matter what---I will do the best I can, I promise. I will tell them about you everytime I see them, just to see that beautiful smile on Jessica's face--when I say you look just like mommy--her face lights up so bright.
And Jason is gonna be a handful for Harold---hes just like him.
I remember when Jessica was little and I used to babysit for you---you was out working so hard trying to make ends meet and take care of your family---You will be missed alot- but never forgotten---
We love you so much

It had been a very long time since I last saw you. Definatly teaches a lesson to never take for granted friendships. We lost out on several years that we could have been enjoying together. I think back at all the fun times we did have together, all the tears we shed, and all of the times we leaned on one anothers shoulders for support. You will be dearly missed and my thoughts and prayers are with your family and children. You were truly a sweet person, and a good friend who always had a smile on your face. It's not good-bye... it's I will see you again... One day.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Although I didn't know Buffy well, we attended many social events together. She was always very nice and sweet to me. I know she meant the world to her family, and I pray for you and especially the children. Have comfort in knowing that she's in God's hands now. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.
