    KJ, my little buddy from the day you were born you've had my heart. We spent a lot of time together and I will cherish the memories and photos the rest of my life, especially riding in my Camaro jamming to LL cool J (something you would still talk about to me). The day you left this world a piece of my heart left with you, I loved you beyond words and I always will. Until I see you again❤️🙏🏼

    Oh, KJ. Our love affair was short and we were so young. High school. Such great memories. Going to camp and sitting with your uncle John, God rest his soul. I loved you immensely during that time and wanted only the best for your life, always. I'm very sad that you're gone, and will say a prayer for your beautiful daughter. May she always have you as her guardian angel. -Amy H.
