I just can't believe this is happening. I still feel we are in a dream and I am going to wake up and you will be here. I know I do not want to wish for you to come back but I can go to where you are and I have comfort in knowing that I have accepted Christ as my personal Saviour and I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN! I love you so very much and I will miss you terribly. Things will not be the same without you. My heart is broken. Love you, Mandy (or what you called me, Gleek)!

RIP Cousin Buddy: Although we did not have contact often besides PM on FB, you were always in my heart and mind,You were always the LIFE of the party!!! we always had good times & good talks together, there was never a dull moment when we were together, we always left our parents shaking there heads at us, LOL. GOOD MEMORIES. The selfish part of me wishes you were still here but the Christian heart in me is praising God that you are no longer in pain and suffering. I know our family here on earth is heartbroken and saddened with your passing but OOOhhhh the joy on the faces of our family that you are with now...... I will never forget how you would make fun of me and Marlene allll the time, those were great memories and great times. I love you Bud, you will always be in my heart and memory. Until we meet again.....

Buddy was a happy, joyful person to be around and will be missed. I remember his beautiful songs the most.I have been out of the country for many years but Buddy was one of the people in my memories of HOME. I will be in Haiti on Friday and will not be able to attend in body but will be there in spirit. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.
