Junebug, Just wanted to tell you that I love you still the same as the day you left us. Theres not a day that goes by that I dont think about you and how much my life has truly changed. I know that you know I still need you, alot of us still need you but we try to live our life just how you expected us to. Theres been things that have been said or done that I know you would not like but thats when I think of how you would tell me to handle it and I do. You taught me alot just in my 29 years of having you as my brother and I promise Ill never let you down, even though I do at times really need your advice on alot of different matters, like always. You just would not believe how people change so instantly. You really find out whos truly there for you and who just trys to put on a show. And again,uncle Tommy has now joined all of you up there and were here still waiting. Tell everyone I love them and give them a big hug for me.

I wanted to say I was unaware this page existed,but now i do i wanted to say a few things. Buster, Sissy, Betty you guys are molre than just cousins we all grew up riund each other and it was so sad on that day buster you guys moved to tennessee, i was so sad because my cousin and best friend was leaving. It has been many years since we have talked, I can think back to the days when Buster and me would hang out all day, we would come in and his granny (god rest her soul) would have hot dogs for us. It was a shock when I found out that junebug has been killed, lord we lost freddy, junebug, betty and tip. My mamaw died 3 years ago, i can still see grays knob like it was back then, I miss you all and Buster if you read this I still think of you often, mom thinks about you, but above all this i will carry the memories with me for ever. Also i like to say hello to sissy and i hope buster and you take care of each other and oneday i hope to see you guys soon.

WARF, IT SEEMS LIKE JUST YESTERDAY WE WERE SITTING ACROSS FROM EACH OTHER AND I WAS POURING MY HEART OUT TO YOU ABOUT MY LATEST BROKEN HEART. YOU SAT AND TOLD ME THAT I WAS BETTER THAN THAT AND TO NEVER LET ANYBODY MAKE ME FEEL THAT THEY WERE BETTER THAN ME. YOU ALWAYS MADE ME FEEL BETTER. YOU WERE SO EASY TO TALK TO. THE MORNING THAT YOU WERE TAKEN, I HAD LEFT WORK EARLY AND WENT HOME AND WENT TO BED. MY CELL PHONE RANG AND ONE OF MY CO-WORKERS TOLD ME THAT THERE HAD BEEN A CRASH AND A RED BANK OFFICER HAD DIED AND SHE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS YOU. I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING ELSE THAT SHE SAID. I GOT IN MY CAR AND DROVE TO THE SCENE AND THE "STEVES" WERE THERE AND I ASKED THEM AND THEY CONFIRMED THE WORD OF MY CO-WORKER. I JUST FELL INTO STEVE'S ARMS AND I CRIED UNTIL I COULDN'T CRY ANYMORE. YOU WERE SUCH AN AWESOME PERSON. I WENT TO THE FUNERAL HOME AND I PAID MY LAST RESPECTS AND I MADE SURE THAT I TOLD YOU "THANK YOU" FOR ALWAYS BELIEVING IN ME. IT BROKE MY HEART TO STAND THERE AND LOOK AT YOU, I HOPE THAT YOU DIDN'T FEEL ANY FEAR OR PAIN. THE LAST TIME I SEEN YOU WE WERE HAVING OUR USUAL LATE NIGHT TALK AND YOU STARTED LAUGHING AND YOUR WHOLE HEAD TURNED RED, THAT WAS SO FUNNY! I'M GLAD I HAVE THAT MEMORY. I'M GLAD THAT I KNEW YOU FOR A LITTLE WHILE. YOU WERE SO WONDERFUL. BY THE WAY I SEEN DAVEY AT THE FUNERAL HOME AND HE WAS AS BEAUTIFUL AS YOU ALWAYS SAID HE WAS. I STILL FEEL A DEEP SADNESS WHEN I THINK ABOUT YOU, MAINLY FOR YOUR WIFE AND DAVEY. I'M SAD THAT I LOST MY FRIEND. EVEN THOUGH I'M GLAD YOU'RE IN HEAVEN WHERE YOU CAN WATCH OVER US ALL, I KNOW YOU'D COME BACK IN A HEARTBEAT SO THAT YOU COULD WATCH DAVEY GROW UP AND BE ACTIVE IN HIS LIFE. I THINK THAT YOUR FAMILY WILL KEEP YOUR MEMORY ALIVE FOR HIM. THEY WILL LET HIM KNOW HOW PROUD OF HIM YOU WERE. THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE. YOU WERE A TRUE FRIEND AND WE ALL LOST THE DAY THAT YOU DEPARTED. I MISS YOU.

Junebug, you were such a great person, I will never forget you. Betty (Mom) was always good to me and treated me like I was hers. You was always good to me also when you wasn't ready to kill me and sissy for tormenting you!!!! But we loved you we just couldn't think of anything better to do at the time or we was grounded one. I know we all grew up and went on with our lives but I will always hold you guys close to my heart we all have to many great memories. I was always welcomed at your house. Bug you and Betty have to be happier now than you have ever been Jesus says there will be no more tears, sorrow or pain in heaven and one day I will be there too, and I can't wait. You have such an awesome family they are strong people they have went through a lot over the years, but yet they are oh so loving.

I love you and Mom and the rest of the family thank you for all the great times we all shared. Sissy I love you and Buster too.

Happy Holidays Buddy:
Time came and went one more Christmas without you and Betty. It is so hard at this time of year. It has been 18 1/2 months since I spoke to you physically and 1/2 hour since I spoke to you spititually and again now. Everytime I wrapped a gift I wanted to put yours or Betty's name on it. I know Christmas for the two of you was Heavenly. I still talk to Betty everyday. The two of you will always be in my heart. The wonderful joyful memories. Please continue to watch over our family as I know you always have. I miss you two tremendously and you know how much I LOVE you.

JUNEBUG, WHEN KIM TOLD ME ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. IT DID NOT KICK IN UNTIL WE CAME TO TELL YOU GOODBYE. WHEN I FIRST HEARD THAT YOU WERE A POLICE OFFICER I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME I WAS PROUD OF YOU. MY HUSBAND WAYNE IS A POLICE OFFICER AND IT SCARES ME EVERY DAY WHEN I TELL HIM BYE WHEN HE GOES TO WORK. EVERY OFFICER OUT THERE IS ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS AND MY PRAYERS. AND SO IS YOUR FAMILY. TAKE CARE AND GIVE YOUR MOM A HUG FOR ME. AND WHEN I SEE DEE AND KEVIN I WILL GIVE THEM A HUG. THEY ARE FRIENDS WITH MY LITTLE BOY DAKOTA. AND SANDY AND DAVEY ARE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS TOO.

Not a day goes by that I dont think of you and wish that I wouldve done a whole lot of things didderent. But I know that youre with me in my heart because I can feel you at times. And I guess you are now with Papel, too, You were always afraid of the day that he passed, well at least you didnt have to suffer it with the family because it sure was hard. Ill put his flag with your police hat on the fireplace where youre both be in my sight at all times.

Hey Warf! Just thinking about you and wanted to tell you somethings. First, the "problem" you talked me into has been taken care of for about 9 months now. I've had some ups and downs but my life has taken a wonderful turn for the best. I am happier with life more than I have ever been! I just wish you were still around to pop up every couple of months. Also, I met your sister. I went to take a picture of your gravesite for my memory book of articles on you and just so happens it was your moms birthday and Sissy walked up to put flowers on both yours and moms graves. We talked for a while. Somethings she told me broke my heart, other things made me laugh, like you showing your niece how to model in pagnets(she offered to show me photos by the way). But, after talking to her that day I cried all night. I missed you bad. While I cried I told my boyfriend all about you. He remembers meeting you once when you worked for Walden. He wishes he could have gotten to know you more. Anyways, I'll shut-up for now. I love you and miss you. Give yourself a great big hug from me. I just wish I could get one in return from you.

Junebug,I remember like it was yesterday when we were just a couple of brothers sitting around drinking coke and watching tv.Many years has passed since those days.As the years went on we both grew up and started our own lives as adults.I joined the Marines and moved away.Once I was finished with that,I came back home and you was starting to have a family of your own.We grew apart as the years passed,but I always thought about you,Sissy and Buster.Today is June 23rd 2004.I just learned of your early departure today.Almost a year later,but it is news to me.Memories of all of us as kids keep running through my mind.You will never be forgotten brother.My thoughts and prayers go to the rest of the family,because I truly know how you feel.Someday I will be able to laugh with you again my brother.Until then,enjoy your time with the rest of the family with you because when I get there we will have alot to say to each other.Thank You for the memories Junebug.

Junebug,
I have been wanting to talk you again like we did years ago,and i guess this is as close as I will get.Mom has your picture on her tv.You where always so cute.I was awoken to the phone of your death.Then i was awoken by the phone ringing and someone knocking on my door about six weeks later saying Scott had pasted .after that came mom calling on my cela to tell me about Betty,but some how the news of your death has hurt me so much more that I ever thought it would.There are so many thing I want to say ,but some how I just can't seem to get it together.You where all ways good to me ,and I will never ever forget.I remember the time you got gummie bears on mom's house when we where kids .Those were the good times.Now mom is maw-maw to all the kids even Scott little boy calls her maw-maw. My prayer are with Sissy,Burster, Sany, &Davey.

Love,

Junebug,
There's not a day that goes by that I dont think of you or miss you. You're still loved very much. I would give anything to have you here with me, again. Kevin is playing ball again this year. You would be proud of him, he can sure work that ball, now. He gets determined to get them kids an out. He's the second baseman for the Reds. I know you would really be proud of him. Ilove you and I always will. Till I see you again one day I will always think of you. Tell Mom and Dad that I love them, too.

Junebug,
Well, today I had to say goodbye to mom. Iguess she is with you now, just where she wanted to be. I don't know why life turned out to be this way. It's hard to get through everyday without you and her. I wasn't ready to give either one of you up, yet. I miss you everyday and I think of both of you everyday. Kevin and Destiney still want to know when you are coming home. And now, their asking for you and nana. Just give Mom a great big hug for me and I will give Davey a great big hug for you.

P.S. Sandy said Davey loves riding his jeep in the wide open spaces you gave to him... Ilove you very much big brother and I always will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

your loving sister

Son, I remember so well the day you came into this world, the most happy day of my life because of you being my firstborn son. The knock on my door that Saturday, June 28, 2003, at 4:25 a.m. when I was informed that you had been in an accident, I feel to my knees and Prayed to God for my baby, and when I arose to my feet I was ready to face the hospital and the consequences of your job. I went to your side and held you in my arms and told you goodbye knowing that I would one day see you again in the loving arms of your Heavenly Father, I let you go. I must learn to deal with my pain and sorrow until the day I'm called home to be with you and again feel eternal happiness.

You're Mother, with all my love

Dear U-Bug

Junebug,
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. You were the greatest brother that I could have ever been blessed with. I just keep thinking to myself that all of this happened for a reason but I wonder what the reason was. I will never know here on this earth but one day I know that I will get to see you again and then maybe, my life will be whole once more. I never dreamed that you were ever going to leave. I took you for granted all the years that I had you. You promised that you would always be there for me. You knew that you were the only one that I truly believed in and trusted. I miss our talks, and the way I could get to you by the things that I said.You would pause in thought trying not to laugh but would eventually crack up. We had alot of good times, and alot of sad times. So far you've been the hardest for me to give up because I depended so much on you. I will always love you from the bottom of my heart, and I will always be there for Davey and Sandy. You sure would be very proud of Davey, he looks just like you.
P.S. You and Scott had better behave up there...

Your loving sister
