My dearest JW:



It is with a broken heart that I sign this today. Never could I have ever imagined losing you. You were my first true love. We lived our lives and enjoyed our special relationship thinking that we had all the time in the world. I can not even begin to express how great of a friend you were to me. You taught me so much, but most importantly, by watching the way you treated me, I learned how to truly love someone.You have my past, present and future in your hands. This loss is devasting. I promise you that your memory will live on through everything that I will accomplish in my life. My success as a person will by credited to my blessing of having you in my life. I would do anything to see you smile, hear you laugh or feel your hug once again. The most difficult part of this all is that you were always there for me through everything, and the one time that my world has turned upside down, I must face this without you for the first time. I hope that everyone knows the great person you were. Your life was a blessing to all those who shared it. I will miss you dearly everyday of my life. I pray that over the years I will somehow become half of the wonderful person that you are. To Mr. James, Ms. Cindy, Hailey, and Cindy, you will forever be in my heart and prayers. To have been a part of making JW who he was is truly amazing. There is a piece of JW in each one of you, and there are no words to express the comfort all of your presence brings. JW was ALWAYS there for me, and I hope that you will also allow me to ALWAYS be there for you. Thank you so much for including me in everything and the gifts you have given to me. You are all amazing people. If all the world had had the privilege of knowing JW, the world would be weeping today. With all my love... Katie

JW

You were and still are my love, my hero and my friend. We have been though so much together. Just to have had you in my life has brought me so much joy. Your smile and those beautiful bright blue eyes could make me melt. The words "I Love You" coming out of your sweet mouth would take my breath away. You have taught me so many lessons. The hardest lesson being, no matter how much you love someone, sometimes you need to let them go. We did that once, but I truely believe we were finding our way back. I never once, even through Afganistan, thought that you wouldn't be here for me. You promised me you always would. Although the pain seems to be unbearable at times, the gifts you have given, lift me up. One of the greatest gifts being the memories together and the other being your great family. Your wonderful mother and your beautiful sisters have brought me into their hearts and I will love them forever. I will always miss you but I will always have our love in my heart. I could never forget one moment we haved shared. I Love You JW Buck, always and forever.

Dearest Cindy and Family,



I am so very sorry that the loss of J.W. has happened at such a young age. We will all truly miss him in our hearts and our minds. I wish you peace and comfort as the days go on one at a time, that you will find strength in each other to not forget the Love and Tenderness that J.W. has shared so unselfishly with you, his family and friends. I will never forget the nephew who smiled so bright not even the densest fog could keep it from shining through. J.W. I am so very proud of the Man you were, the Man you became, and the Man who could make so many bad things go away, just by being there. You Have Honored all of us, with your Love and compassion. You have fought for many that you did not know, and you have Defended the American People, with out a second thought, and for that I am eternally greatful. Knowing that we all had you on our side to stregthen and guide everyday without judgement is the greatest gift you could have given. I am so sorry for the saddend hearts and the sorrow, but the memories of you and the family will live on forever. I Love you so very much and will always have you in my heart. Cindy, James, Hailey, and Cindy My prayer's and thoughts will be forever with you all. May you all find strength and joy in each other to move forward and find the Love that binds a family. May God Bless and Keep you all, and in return God has given you an Angel, to keep you safe, watch over and guide you all, for all the days of your lives. I Love you all so much and am very sorry that I could not be there.



Love you all very much,

With Our Deepest Sympathy,

I am so proud of you. The young man you became, and all the people in your life you have touched in one way, or another. I know you are giving Mom Cindy, James, Hailey, and Cindy the strength to go on. I know you are looking over all your Family in the Marines, to make sure they will all come home safe, and so they can take care of what needs to be done overseas. I love you so much.

Cindy,

I am so sorry that I could not be there for you when you needed everyone there. But please know that my heart ans thoughts were there even thought I wasn't. I love you sis and remember if you need anything I will be here for you. J.w, You were a special person. I remember all the times that we would play together when you lived on Russell and when you live in Crystal, Them days were fun. Even thought you were younger them me I still looked up to you and still do. I always will and I will keep all of them memories with me. I remember also talking with you last summer when you were over sea's and I was so excited to hear your voice. I yelled for mom and didn't want to give her the phone but I knew I had to, Even the talks we had about us coming down there to see you in the summer I will hold onto. It may not be at home that we will see one another but we will one day. I love you J.W. and will miss you dearly. I am so proud of you J.W.

Cindy and family, although we haven't seen eachother in a LONG time, my deepest symapthy goes out to you. I can only imagine the pain you must be feeling, but remember Jamie is in a better place and doing what he loves, whatever that may be. I wish I had a chance to be able to meet him as the adult he became, I only remember the rowdy little boy that I played with as a child, but will forever see him as a man that helped to defend our country. We love you with all of our hearts. Speaking for my mom and Justin, your family will forever be in our prayers. - The Fowlers
