Oh yeah Quint, you know that I wanted you as my "Maid of Honor Man"! Just make sure your Spirit is there!!!!

Quint, On this date, one year ago,there was a space so empty in my heart. And today I realize that God allowed your spirit to fill it! Today at the cemetary I laughed soooo hard when I looked around and realized that I was alone and got scared and ran to the car...Hahahaha! I knew that you were laughng at me!:) I miss my Best Friend and I'm glad to have you in my heart!

Hey Quinton well it has been a year and it is still difficult. Things are getting better though. We all miss you so much but I know you are forever smiling upon us. You give me strength in my everyday forward, just by knowing you are watching over us. Dominic and I were riding in the car 2 days ago and he was laughing, I had to bring myself back cause he sounded just like your goofy laugh.I love you forever so much.
Well, Our son made an accomplishment and I am so proud of him. Just goes to show, when you are ready to make something happen,nothing will stop you.He has also made some good choices for life at this point and I am again proud that he is my son and even more proud he had you to set the foundation.
Keep watching over us and know I forever love you!

I can't tell you how difficult this is for me. I haven't accepted you not being here with us. You know how much I love you. I keep thinking I will pick up the phone and you will be on the other end. I miss talking with you every day some times twice a day. I just can't imagine you not being here. You have been missed so so much by every one in the family. I don't think I can ever let go.

I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!

I never imagined that one day you wouldn't be here. If i had a problem, i wouldn't be able to call you for help or that i would send you a message and you would never receive it. Or that one day i wouldn't be able to call you to tell you that i love you so much & that i cherish every moment that i spend with you. And that i never regret anything that we did, only the things that we didn't get the chance to do because it was to late. I'll remember all the laughs & tears that we shared, everything that made us BEST FRIENDS!!!!!
