Although I only knew you for a short time you were a great friend to me. I wish we could have had more times together and you will truly be missed. I'm so glad I got to know you!

HAD LOTS OF FUN TIMES...LOL LOTS! LOTS OF GREAT MEMORIES WITH YOU. U WERE AWESOME WITH OUR KIDS. BRENDEN SAW UR PICTURE AND SAID "TICKLE" ITS FUNNY HOW INNOCENT MINDS THINK. BUT THAT GOES TO SHOW U WHAT A WONDERFUL GUY U WERE. MY KIDS LOVED U. AND ME AND BRYAN LOVE U. BRYAN GETS A LITTLE MAD INSTEAD OF POURING OUT EMOTIONS LIKE I DO. HE WAS VERY UPSET UR GONE. AND ONE DAY WE HAD A DAY THAT WE REMEMBERED U AND BRYAN WAS TELLING ME ALL THE GREAT GUY STUFF U BOTH DID- ARTIE!!!! IM GLAD U BOTH HAD SO MANY FUN TIMES. AND IM GLAD THAT I COULD CALL U MY FRIEND. YOU WERE ALWAYS A SHOULDER TO LEAN ON, U GAVE GREAT ADVICE, ALWAYS HOOKED US UP, LOOKED OUT FOR US, AS WE DID U, UR A GREAT PERSON, NEVER ONE ARGUMENT OR MAD STREAK IN U. NOT ONE DAY DID I SEE U ANGRY. U WERE THE SMILE OF OUR LIFE. U WILL BE MISS ALWAYS! AND I DONT THINK WE COULD EVER FORGET U. GOD BLESS~ WE LOVE YOU!!!¢¾¢¾¢¾
It's been only 17 days and I still can not say goodbye. Everything still seems so not true. We are supposed to celebrate my b-day or try to again this weekend, but it will not be the same with out you there. It still hurts. I know you would say the party must go on. And so it will. I know you will be there in spirit. Everyone spoke about how you were the party and so many wonderful memories of you from so many different points of view. It was unbelievable the turn out at your viewing, and funeral. The get together at your house was great. Your parents had so much suport and they always will. We will continue to stop by every chance we get. Brianna still talks about you. She went and put flowers down for you and we all cried a little. She wanted to know when she can go to heaven to see you. It was so hard to explan that she can't at least for a long time, for now. She says she sees you once in a while now. She remembers your work and all the fun times. You have known her since she was born. I have known you 8 years. Jason forever and it will always go on. This is why I can't say goodbye. Everyone will always say if I only knew what was going to happen than things would have been different. I have so many things I wish I could change, but I can't. Living day to day will get easier but there won't be a day that you won't be missed with all my heart. You had a great story that will be told from many different views. Some funny, some sad, some scary and some embarassing. Some will be the same story told 30 different ways. None will every get old. You where loved very much and you always will be. So not goodbye but see you later, or as Brianna would say in our dreams.
Love,
Kristy

Artie,
I wish I would have wrote this sooner, I just couldn't. This is the greatest pain I have ever known. I can't even begin to tell you what knowing you was like. It was truly a blessing to have you apart of Blaze's & my life. I hate that it was not long enough but, every moment was always so much fun. I can hardly live without that; "Boi" of mine, there when I needed him. Always making me laugh, feel loved, & AMAZING.. I could get so deep right now but, it's so hard to share this now. I know you know anyway, I see & feel as though you are here. It hasn't sunken in at all that this is real but, You are truly missed & on my mind. R.I.P. YAAA DIGGG!
Oh wow.... Here it is almost 1 whole year and not any easier. The sadness, pain, and sorrow still lingers. Life is still not the same and now time has proven it never will be the same. The "PARTY" will never be the same. A black cloud will always linger and that empty felling in everyone's heart that was once filled by you is still waiting to some day see you again. There is something so special about you that anyone you met felt. You left that same something special with every person you met. True justice will come for you and that day the world will seem a little brighter. Well Artie true to our word we still go to your house every once in a while with the kids as promised and there will never be a time when that promise will go broken. To all the guys you were there "BROTHER" to all the women you were there "LOVE". Oddly enough you still are to every person you once touched. You're there in one way or another and best thing of all ....... we all still will never say "GOODBYE"
I love you!

A.J.,
OMG! I cant believe this happened to you cuz! Im so sorry cuz! Im really sorry that I haven't wrote this sooner but I couldn't. I needed time to accept this. I still haven't accepted it but its something im going to have to accept. You were the best cousin i ever had. You and your brother both. Tony flipped out when he found out about what happened. To this day if Tony gets really drunk he'll go upstairs outside and look up at you and just say damn i wish you were here to chill with me. It hurts us all really bad that this happened. I stopped in to see Aunt Debbie and Uncle Artie and your mom didnt even recognize me. She said I grew up alot so did your dad. We talked about you I hung out there for a couple hours and left to go see Mike. All me and him talked about was you as well. I walked into the pawn shop and was like damn you look like aj so much and he was like i know. We talked and i was hurting more than ever when i left. I still have to come to terms with you're unbeleivable, heart-breaking death. You will be missed forever by everyone! Well Im gonna stop cuz the tears are pourin out of me. So ill leave on a good note, if thats possible, I LOVE YOU CUZ!
Love Always & Forever,
your cousin,
Samantha.
