A Memory  / Kelly (Sister)
As I look at BJ I think back to when you would babysit him after your motorcycle wreck and how you wouldnt change messy diapers, you would carry him over to Melissa's or to Charleen.  Who would have known that  this big rough and tumle guy wouldnt change a dirty diaper, Now I just laugh about it and have written it down so when BJ is older he will know what you did.  Close

memories / Lori (friend)
when i had my first baby i was soo scared,  i had my mom   but still needed that special someone, and that was u!  U told me i could do, it, I  just had to straighten up "a lil bit".  u helped me so much! with not just one child,  two!!  U filled in soo many times when it wasnt your part, and loved it.  Jake and kyle talk about u all the time! U did so many nice things and didnt think a thing about it, was your nature. I dont believe I could have made this far without u. Your number 1 in my book Buster. Close

miss you friend  / Tricia Napier (friend)
I keep trying to come up with a memory to share with everyone here. I think of so many and they all just sort of run together. I had seen you almost everyday for the past few years up until January. Thats alot to talk about! Chad and I keep saying "where's Buster at"? And only you know what we are talking about. Those crazy moments when something weird happens or when we need you (which is all the time). We are still trying to adjust to life without you in it. We can only hope that someday we will all be together again. We can tell you everything you missed and you can tell us too! 
Until then friend, we keep you in our hearts forever! Close

To ALL of Buster's Friends  / Kelly (Sister)
I just wanted to let everyone know what the final autopsy report said.  Buster had end stage (terminal) Lung Disease with pulmonary fibrosis  which was complicated by pneumonia and ARDS (accute respatory distress syndrome).  The findings are what I expected after speaking with all the doctors who cared for him.  In a nut shell he was very sick and didn't even know it and  in the end there was nothing more I or any one could have done to help him.  How I wish I would have known how sick he was I would have moved heaven and earth to get him the proper care, most of his friends dont know alot about me or our relationship but I would have done any thing for him.  At this point I keep his memory alive by talking about him and remembering him every day.

Busters grave stone  / Kelly (Sister)
The grave stone was set today, for those who don't remember his grave is in the section directly behind the church facing the field in the next to the last row, currently there are no markers in front of his so you should be able to see it from the gravel road.  If any one has any trouble finding it let me know I would be glad to show you where it is or give you better directions.  Kelly Close

for you  / Kelly (Sister)
Tonight at the firemens trustee's meeting they presented dad and I with a plaque and a candle in your memory.  The plaque says "There when you need us"  Emergency Services Award  2005-2006  In Memory of James Williams Jr.  Warrensburg Fire Protection District  and the candle is a soft scent with a dove and the words remembering on the holder.  There was a ceremony held in honor of fallen fire, ems, and police and they lit the candles during the ceremony in honor of the ones who had passed and then at the end gave them to the dept.'s to give to the family with the plaques.  How nice.

u / U. Me (friend)
I never thought this was ever gonna happen, u told me it wouldnt. I promised to change your bedpans when u got 80 or before. It is so hard without your happy face!  I tried to tell chad the other nite u were sayin with a smile that its "ok".  U tought me patience, how to sit back and think about it before reacting! something i should have learned long ago, but thank u!  I remember times I thought the world was gonna end, and busters smilling face would reinforce me that it wasnt! and there was definetly good reason to "keep my head together"   buster was the one person that was ALWAYS there for me!  Buster had to be angel sent to me?? what else could explain the sweetness that he brought into my life! I have no clue where i would have been without him! " I love u buster" Close

Bubba / Kelly (sister)
Hey got a letter today, Your liver went to a 31 year old man in lllinois who had been on the list for 3 months, he is at happy to be home now recovering with his wife and child.  A 49 yearold man from Illinois recieved your right kidney, the surgery went well and he is home with his wife and two children just 10 days after the transplant And a 69 year old woman from Michigan recieved your right kidney, the transplant a success and she is also home recovering with her husband and family members less than two weeks after surgery.  I think it is great, a part of you lives on in others although I would rather have you.  Miss you. Kelly. Close

Wish you were here  / Tricia Napier (My Best Friend )
This is so hard here without you.  I'm feeling a little better now.  At first I was confused, angry, raw, and I even felt guilty because I didn't realize how sick you were. I am so sorry that I didn't push you to get better care while you were sick. I feel like maybe I was just taking for granted you would always be here like everyone thought. Chad & I miss you so much, the boys too. I wish we could go back & fix this, but I know we cant! I think of you everyday, I even forget your'e gone sometimes (i have to remind myself). I'm glad I got to sit with you in the hospital while you were awake and hold your hand.. I had know idea that would be the last time.  I wish I would have told you that you were my very best friend, not because you were there when I called or stayed on the phone with me all nite when I cried to you about Chad. But because you didn't mind, I love you for that.  There will be no greater friend to me, your shoes are too big to fill.  Your pictures are all over the house for Aaron, we want him to remember you and I think he will...how can he forget "Busta"!
We love you and miss you friend! Close

Bubba / Kelly (Sister)
Wow, how to describe you and all that you were, there are not enough words.  You were loving , caring, compassionate, a leader, a helper, a true friend and a loving son, brother, and uncle.  I have great memories and it is those that keep me going.  I have many of your things your trains, fire memorabilia, cameras, scout stuff and your mustang, but those are just things, I will cherish each of those things and my boys will get your trains and your mustang when they are old enough.  But till then the mustang will be finished and driven by us in your memory, it isn't something I can just put away for years, then all of your hard work would be a waste and I know you wouldn't want that.  I miss you everyday but you are always in my heart and in my mind I will always see your smiling face.
Your loving sister. Close

me and buster  / Lori (friend)

To sum it all up for me,  actually dont think i can in just one nite.  Buster meant the world to me and he loved me every minute i thought no one else could,  No matter what i did or said he said shut up and comon. Out of the blue, buster comes to an apt that im living with jakes dad in, and says"no time to talk  just pack" and i trusted him and we packed and he got me outta there just in time for sum dumb stuff!! that i had no idea about. So many times i have drowned in my sorrows and he has pulled me out, At such a young age I tried to give up and he wouldnt let me, He was my backbone after i lost my parents, The SWEETEST man i will ever know-'
