"As the years went by and the doctors office became to familiar we tried to joke but it grew harder and harder. I never had a friend like you and probably never will. you managed to save my life time and time again. yet there was nothing i could have done to change the outcome of yours. you taught me what it meant to allow someone to get close and you could predict my next move but never stood in my way always defending me and telling me the shit i didnt want to see hardly ever could i be angry with you even after that one bad day i still forgave you almost instantly. you made sure to make me smile the last bday of mine we spent at the river with roy fishing , the day i used possum for bait and you thought it was nasty. that day is the moment i want to recall forever above all others. as we watched your dad pass on and then your mom i remember the moment you turned and said to me that it was you that was gonna be next. and as much as i wanted to disagree with you the third to last E.R trip was the last time you told me not to tell the girls thats when reality sank in. sitting there all night talking about the things you loved so much in your years all the secrets you felt you needed to tell and the question you asked as you sat in that bed hooked to machines crazy talk i said...but i answered back with a hell no then id have to admit to having amandas last name ...and you said oh yeah cant blame you there. just a joke amanda. we went and found that shuttle bus and it was a bad joke but you had purpose behind it. you worried amanda and me wouldnt know what to do without you and thought we would drive bobbie crazy with drama. sorry it didnt get built. You reassured me the last couple days that you lived a great life and was happy with all your experiences. mike was your best friend and you said he would be right behind you and he was... you told me you loved them girls as flesh and blood and wanted both of them to see that time is limited dont hold grudges youll miss out on the best life has to offer if you stay mad. you told me to smack amanda if she dont get her head out her ass as well as not to let her get to far away. willie my heartbroken puppy is with bobbie and im clueless on if he is happy , but i know im not i miss you something bad. you were right when you said i would miss you. i do . i wish you would have stuck around long enough to see me stand up. maybe next time. love you forever your annoying ass blonde friend who never left you alone"

"OMG!! ??? I'm going to miss your jokes & how you always had something positive to say. You always looked at the bright side of things. We shared some great times together. You were one of the very few that I knew I could trust & count on. Im going to miss you my friend. Bobbie & Amanda, if you need anything or just a shoulder to lean on, I'm here. Love you girls. RIP ROBBY???I WILL MISS YOU."

"you were my very first boyfriend..i don't know how I'm suppose to do this . you never not been here when I needed you...40 plus years 3/4 my life . you never sugar coated anything .. you were always here to wipe my tears help me understand that it was nothing wrong with me fuck anybody that said different cause they didn't matter .. this is truly one of the hardest things I have had to go threw ...
