I dont know how to start thing..
I do know I miss you so much, it hurts i wish
the pain would just stop and the emptyness would
go away.I love you and I always have. Im so sorry
for everything that you had to go through
no child/adult should have to. I wish you could
have had a happy childhood like you wanted/deserved
dearly.wish i could have helped and change certain things in the
past. All i know is im so thankful to have
you and to call you my big brother. I've always believed
in you even if no one else did, i might have not said it enough
but Im proud of you. No one else could or survive what you had too.
There will never be a day i dont think of you,
it's hard to fight the tears back. Im writing this and bawling.
i wanna get a little peace but i don't think
it's going to work. before you pasted, god gave me the best
memorie of all, you and you nephew emmitt spending time
together. He will always know of you and his other uncles as well.
I hope you can finally rest and be safe.
Been almost 2 years since the phone rang. Still shocked.
You are always and forever a part of me. We were so very close no
matter the time or the distance between one another. I just wish
i could have done more and im so sorry i hope you forgive me.
Me and Emmitt have the best THREE gardian angels anyone
can have. I will hold and cherish all of our memories together
and past them on. I love you and may you rest in peace
with Brennan and Kirby.

I miss you so much. I keep expecting to see you walk in my door with that smile on your face one day! I sure wish that could happen! You know I was always there for you, and youn always knew that you could come to me any time. I'm really glad we had that relationship. You know I loved you for who you were and didn't judge you for anything. I hope you are with grandma and grandpa and all of you are looking over us down here. I'm always talking to you all- in my mind I feel you all near me. I love you so much and miss you terribly. When you went a piece of my heart went with you so hold it tight and keep it for me til i get there! Love, Aunt Betsy

Teri and Cy, I am so sorry for your loss. What a tragic way to lose your child, my heart goes out to the both of you. Life can be mighty unfair and sometimes we have questions that just never seem to be answered. I remember when C.J was just a baby and I would babysit, He was the cutiest baby and child I have ever seen. Those curls he had so blond and bouncy. Such a sweet happy toddler! I loved coming over and helping out. C.J. grew up, and grew away. He walked a road we might never understand but it was his road. He was handsom and strong, he had the most beautiful blue eyes, eyes so bright you couldnt keep yourself from looking straight into. He came over this fall and spent the night. We talked all night about growing up, and when he was a kid playing with all those wwf dolls and playing sega. He could down a whole glass bottle of pepsi like that. He was grandma and grandpa's boy.
He wanted to look at old pictures of family, of happy times. We laughed and cryed that night of memories we shared, and I believe he wished with everything he had to be back at that age, being that "little boy" again. When life was easy, but he couldnt go back just like the rest of us. We have to move forward and push on. But we will always have our memories, and they will always be with us, and that is where C.J. is now, right here in our hearts, in our memories. I love you C.J. and I will never forget you.

Gosh Cj, I can not believe this. I miss you so much and my prayers are with you everyday and night. Grandma and Grandpa are with you now and they will protect from all the bad things. They missed you and thought it was tinme for them to see you. Uncle Cy is doing very good and is praying hard for you. He will never ever go a day without you on his mind. You were a very caring, loving nice person and I hope one day we will all come back together again. Right now we are all thinking about you and talking about good times we all shared. I'm very sorry for everything you have went through and if I could have stopped what happened you better believe I would. I wasn't always around you Cj, but darnnit those times we were together we very amazing and will never be forgotten. I love you Cj , I hope you never ever forget that, tell grandma and grandpa I love them and to take good care of them. Make sure you always look down on me and I promise I am going to be the best I can be and stay in school and respect my family and friends JUST FOR YOU!!! I Love and Miss You SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much.
Love Your Cousin, Suzette Hicks. <3
