It seems like forever, yet it feels like just yesterday. I love you Daddy and I miss you everyday.
My heart is broken and I know that it will never heal until I see my big brother again.
Toni and Steve you are both in my heart and on my mind and please remember that I will always try to be here for you.
A special thanks to all of our family and friends that we love so much. It's so hard to accept that Bubba is gone. The hurt is endless and I feel like there's a huge empty hole in my heart.
Toni and Steve -- I wish I could take your hurt away and I am so sorry that we had to lose him. We have to believe that he is healthy and happy now and with Momma and Daddy again. He had missed them both so much -- think about it and you can imagine that little grin on his face when he got to see them. Someday we can see them all again too.
I love you both dearly with all of my heart.
On behalf of the entire family, I'd like to thank you all for your kind thoughts and all of the prayers. Lisa, a special thank you to you. God bless you all.
Sincerely, Toni
On behalf of the Waste Management hauling and landfill family in Northwest Arkansas I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during your loss. If there is anything we can do please contact me!
