As always, I was so looking forward to this birthday with you. We will still be having our traditional Bucky Birthday cookout celebration, because that is what you would have wanted. We are having a cook-out and are inviting a lot of the family and friends. I know the guest of honor will be there, if only in spirit. Bucky we miss you so very much, our lives are not and will never be the same again. There are so many more biggies to come that we won't get to share with you. I know that
you are with us and we will all be together again soon.
Happy 25th Birthday, my beautiful boy. Love, Mom
Thank you Justin, you have made us all better for knowing and loving you.
P.S. I could do a book of stories of you.
Playing the game hurt, Dad
Love, Ben (Justin's brother)
Birthdays are a time for celebration
Not a time for tears
But what happens when the birthdays
No longer mark the years
A birthday marks the moment
A spirit enters earthly life
To share its special love and joy
And learn from earthly strife
Before a spirit comes to us,
It Knows when and how it must depart
It chooses its path carefully,
We are honored from the start
The sadness we now feel on such a joyous day
Is longing for our loved one's touch
It' s natural to feel this way
For even though the birthdays
No longer mark a spirit's stay
Love continues on forever
To touch us everyday
I hug my precious memories
Close to my heart
And honor my beloved spirit child
Who chose me from the start.

Here's to you Buck, thank you for everything, you are one of the best friends I have ever had and I hope that you can look down
on me and smile knowing that who I am now is someone you had a part in shaping. I pray that everyone remembers
the birthdays that they spent with you and smile, remembering all the life you lived and the life you are living in heaven.
I love you! Brittany Woods

Happy Birthday Bucky, I really miss seeing your smile especially whenever I need to, because you always did that for me.
*If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again* Love Morgan
*Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through
and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.* Bucky, you're my shining star. Thank you for everything you taught me.
I won't ever forget the memories that I had the pleasure of sharing with you.
I'll love and miss you everyday and forever. Sarah
Bucky, I think about you every single day. Just keep thinkin about those "family reunion memories."
I miss you so much and can't wait to meet you in Heaven someday. Love You!
Bucky, Happy 25th Birthday. I can't believe it's been this long since I've seen your beautiful smiling face. Even though
you're not here in body, you're still with me in spirit. I'll never forget you. You will always be in my heart.
I could have never asked for a better friend!
Love You Always, Savannah Duncan

Message from Brandi Lafferty:
Happy 25th Birthday Bucky *How does it feel to get to dance for Jesus?
I love and miss you* Love Brandi
(she chose this because of the lyrics in "I Can Only Imagine"
Bucky, I don't even know where to start...I miss you so bad, I wear your Hooters t-shirt all the time, i wish we could've gone back just one more time. As much as it hurts and as badly as I miss you, I still wouldn't have you back for anything cause I know you're much better off. I wish I could celebrate your birthday with you, but I'm sure you're having WAY more fun up there,
so Happy Birthday Babe. You'll always be in my heart...forever.
Love Always, Taran
To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake,
We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heart ache
As we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you,
Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we love you still.
There will always be a heartache,
And often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.
If tears could make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.
We hold you close within our hearts;
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
~ Written by Connie Dyer, BP/USA, Springfield, IL
Sometimes while looking through the closet,
I catch myself;
Smelling your clothes, just to catch a scent of you.
Sometimes while surfing the radio channels,
I catch myself;
Listening to a song you once listened to.
Sometimes when I'm lonely and need to call someone,
I catch myself;
Calling a person who was a friend to you.
Sometimes when looking through the photo album,
I catch myself;
Looking at pictures of only you.
Sometimes at night when I can't sleep,
I catch myself;
Crying over memories I have of you
Sometimes at night when I pray,
I catch myself;
Thanking God for blessing us with you.

I know you haven't left me,
Your presence I still feel,
The love you give surrounds me,
And your smile it seems so real.
While I lay at night in stillness,
Your voice to me so clear,
My heart starts beating faster,
When I know that you're so near.
Sweetheart come and take me,
To the Heaven where you live,
God knows I long to hold you,
I still have so much to give.
You wouldn't have to keep me there,
Just only for a while,
Long enough to hug you,
And to once more see your smile.
Can you hear me speaking,
Are you close enough to hear,
Will you please reach out and touch me,
So I'll know that you are near.
Could it be that you are sleeping,
While I dream again once more,
Or God showing what faith can do,
When I open up His door.
I hold you safely in my heart,
And you travel through my soul,
The days we spent together,
Were the happiest I'll ever know.
You are sweet like the breath of an Angel,
That lingers and will never leave,
I'll see you soon my precious child,
And no longer shall I grieve.
Before you have to go my love,
Please fly me to the stars,
I need to see where you rest at night,
And if I have to travel far.

he passed two months later. His brother Ben is looking on...big sigh He is smiling so pretty here.
Looking through your site, your ANGEL Justin seemed to be the laugh of the party.
Always had a smile on his face, friends that loved him.
THEY ARE WONDERFUL MEMORIES TO HAVE.
GOD BLESS
