aunt gigi,
i can't begin to say how sorry i am for your loss my heart goes out to you and the rest of our family. This was by far the hardest thing to go through for you, me and many others. It happened so quick and unexpected. As a sister and a friend i can tell you he is deeply loved and will be deeply missed. Though we miss him we must smile in knowing that he is looking down over us right now smiling back. My only regret is that i never got to meet him but we had many conversations and kept in contact on a regular basis. He will be with me in my heart and thoughts. I love you all and you will be in my prayers. I LOVE YOU BUBBA!!! R.I.P.!!
love sister melissa harvey

I am sorry to hear that we lost DJ. He was a free spirit that loved to have fun. He was so sweet, funny and caring. I have not seen him in a while but I will miss him and know that he is looking down on everyone he knew and telling us it is going to be alright and he is probably smiling as always.
