Torren was the youngest of my 7 grandchildren., and my only son's only child.  Because of unfortunate circumstances, we did not get to see Torren while he was growing up. But when he was older, I got to spend some time with him and learned what a admiral young man he had become.  He was kind, and gentle.  He was very generous, forgiving, and he had the biggest heart you might ever run into.  He had become very responsible, with alot of ambition to be someone very successful. Unfortunately, he ran into some obstacles he had trouble overcoming.  I am so grateful that I was able to spend the time with him that I did.  I love my grandson.    I pray that he and his father will have some time to get to know each other now.  

Buddy was one of my dearest friends, I will forever be grateful for my cousin Miguel for introducing me to him. I took this photo of buddy at sunset cliffs on March 8, 2019 at exactly 5:36pm. I will never forget this day, we were both going through difficult times and at one point we sat in silence just to cry and let it all out. Shortly after, we looked at the sunset and realized how beautiful and precious life is. We also wondered what was beyond us as physical beings. Buddy had such a way of healing others even in times he couldn’t heal himself, with all the hurt that comes with his loss I thank our creator for giving me the honor of crossing paths with such a beautiful soul. I give my deepest condolences to his family and close friends. He loved with all of his heart and I have no doubt he is with all of you. Nothing was more important to buddy than his family and friends. I am sending so much love to each and every one of you. To his mother, thank you for bringing such a beautiful soul into this world for all of us to experience. I wish I could give you the biggest hug. Buddy has moved on to his next adventure (we all know he loved his adventures) but his memory will live through us all. I regret not being able to attend his service due to living in another state, but I feel lucky to be able to at least share this memory and send condolences to his loved ones. You are all in my thoughts. 

With Love,
Cynthia Dessert (cyn)
