  7. Love of my life,

    It's sad to know that you're gone, but comforting to know that you're watching over me and the rest of us. I'm glad that you have found peace and get to catch up on missed time with your mom. I'll miss our emails and phone calls, but most of all I'll miss the fact that we're both missing out on that long list of commonalities and passion that we shared. You truly are one of a kind and will be missed! Know that you will be always be loved and never be forgotten. I am so proud of you for following your dreams and fighting for our country. I will always love you and can't wait to see you on the other side!!!


    xoxo,
    Your one and only ;)

  9. I'm gonna miss you Jeff. All those memories we've had. I'm still trying to figure out how you could devour all those crab legs at the buffet we used to go to. And every time I look at the Smokey dog I am always reminded of the day I went to get him and how you held his tiny body all the way home. We're gonna miss you brother!
