Bro, yesterday was Cristiano's 7th birthday, I wish you were here. You should have seen the smile on his face. Maybe you were here with us. Ma made his fav chocolate cake & fudge frosting & we ordered pizza! I know you're smiling at all of us right now. We miss you, bro! Primo is 7 years old, ur son is growing up into an awesome cool kid. He's Layla's protector now, thanks to you! :)

Josh, brother, today marks a month that you've been gone. It feels like it's been so much longer. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you often and miss you. I find solace in memories of you... mostly the funny things you would say. I quote you all the time. You were one of a kind, bro. I miss you dearly. But, I know that you'll never be too far away. Your legacy continues to live on through memories of you and through Butter. He reminds me so much of you. And anytime the loss of you becomes too painful, I close my eyes, say a prayer and I feel you near again. Your passing wasn't a goodbye bro. We'll meet again one day. Love you.

Josh, Summer 2013

I am so glorified you came to me a few days ago when I called for you. You're my protective guardian angel! I know you are helping me guide through this next journey of mine. Because of you, I am spiritually healing & know that I am doing me & that I'm going to commit myself to one positive affirmation at a time.

To not only my husband but my best friend, and the best father I have ever seen walk this earth, I will always hear your laughter and never forget the first time our eyes locked. You and I have been through more than most could imagine, that is what has bonded us not only for life but wherever we may go from here. I can not imagine living and watching our son grow with out you, his first girlfriend, his graduation, his first everything.. We will need you and your humor more than you could imagine in all of these times and may God help us find you daddy. You will always be number 1 to Cristiano and I and I cant wait for the moment I am next to you again.
