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.

Artie my brother it's been sometime now merry christmas to you lil bro it still seems weird you not being around we miss you and love you and will see you on the other side you are very missed my friend
man i miss my cousin. you never realize how much you love someone till there gone.. i realized it the moment my mom came into my room in tears screamin and cryin tellin me that aj had died. i couldnt belive it.. i was in total shock. i had just seen him the night b4 i was to get on a plane and come up here to tennessee. we chilled all of about an hour. but if i had known that was gonna be the last hour. i would have chilled all night with him. but like i said you never know whats gonna happen.. and i NEVER thought he would pass away sooooo young. AJ was one of my favorite cousins only cause we have been through alot together. he used to pick on me like no tomorrow, he would beat me up and i would run home to his mom( my aunt debbie) and tell on him,lol... he was the first to get me drunk. but even through all the "times" he was always lookin out for me. teachin me lil things. like how to proparly install a sound system. cause i was always blowin mine up cause i would hook it up wrong.. and he would look at me and just smile, and say this is how you do it. YA DIG!!!!!!!! well all in all i miss and love my cousin. i wish the best for my aunt and uncle. and for mikey, aj's lil brother. now he is above us all lookin down protecting us.
love,
your cousin TONY
