Allyson is my cousin we are 3 months apart and basically grew up as sisters always dressed alike when we were younger and were pretty much inseparable as kids. I couldn't imagine getting married and not having her standing next to me I love this girl so much and am so lucky to have her as a cousin and a best friend.

Christine and I have been friends for as long as I can remember and I wouldn't have it any other way. Through high school, college, and having babies she has always been that friend that I can depend on no matter what. It doesn't matter how long we go without talking we are always there for one another. She is definitely one I call a forever friend.

Denise is the youngest of our girl cousins and the sweetest most gentle soul you will ever meet. Having her in my wedding was a no brainer and I can't wait to marry this amazing man of mine with her by my side.

Priscilla is my sister by choice I never had a sister growing up but if I did she would be the one that I wanted. We have been through so much together she gave me the honor of being godmother to her oldest child Journey and we have been thick as thieves since the day that we met. I am lucky to have her and her be apart of my chosen family.

My oldest and first born son,First of all you mean the world to me I love you so much more than you'll ever realize. You are what got me through some of the hardest and darkest times of my life. You are my light that shined through the darkness and guided me when I was lost. I was ready to give up I would sit and just stare at your picture and thats what motivated me to keep pushing and moving forward. I knew your love was waiting for me and that meant more to me than anything else. Your love is the greatest, strongest, purest most unconditional love there is. I learned how amazing and pure love could be the first time I held you. It was one of the most amazing moments in my life and I believe God sent you to me to show me just how amazing love could be this is and forever will be the most precious and powerful gift I have ever been given. Tyler you are my guardian angel and have saved me more than once I owe you more than I could ever repay you in a lifetime. That being said I will never stop loving you I will always protect you and give you the life you deserve not the hand you were dealt. I love you son.

Mattie my second and youngest son,You know is such a short time we have grown so close already and I can't wait to adopt you and officially be your dad. You are the funniest, smartest, and most handsome son I could have ever hoped for. I am proud to call you my son and a Mongeon I look forward to giving you the love and life that you deserve. I'll be there to teach you and guide you to become a wonderful man. I thank you for choosing me to be the one you call dad and letting me into your life. I promise to be the father you deserve I will love you unconditionally and never leave your side. From this day on I swear you will have the father you deserve who will always be there through the good, the bad, and hardest times in your life. I'll never leave you and I will always be there when you need me I'll have your back until the good Lord take me away from you this I promise. Love Dad

Tommy, We've known each other for a long time now and boy have we been through some shit. So many people, places, things, and stories. Ever since I first met you in El Centro I was working with the iron workers when I saw you, Reed, and Shawn working on the rigging crew and I thought damn I want to work with them. Stop turning bolts and work with those three on the cranes lifting all the big stuff and shutting the whole job down. To be up there in the air with every person around and all the bosses watching so intently and everyone else on pause watching waiting for the big show to be over. Soon as I saw that I was hooked I had to do what you were doing and I just wanted to work with you guys no matter what. I was going to do whatever it took so I stayed busting my ass even harder hoping you guys would notice me. Eventually someone who became one of my best friends came walking up and said "hey kid you are making those iron workers look to good, do you want to be a rigger?" I thought hell yeah I do I have been waiting for this and Shawn brought me over and introduced me to you and Reed. Oh man that was one of my happiest days after that we were always all together. We became like family hanging out after work and taking fishing trips to Mexico we all did everything together. Those were some of the best times I ever had you started taking me around your family you introduced me to your mom, sister, and brothers. They always made me feel comfortable and treated me like family and at that time it wasn't something I had ever had or experienced before. I never had a brother or anyone who really cared back then it meant a lot to me. Over the years we all started to kind of go our own ways but still managed to stay in touch. We lost some good friends that meant a lot to us but we also gained some new friends and family. Whenever we see each other its like no time has passed at all we are always up to pick up right where we left off there is no lapse in time its just good to see each other again. It makes me so happy to see you with your family now and see you happy. You are one of my only true friends thank you for always being there and for being as real as they come. I love you bro and your family you're more like a brother to me and if you ever need anything You know I got your back. You're the best Tommy.

Albert,In the little over two years that we worked together we became friends right away and soon after we were more like family. I looked forward to coming to work just to see you and mama always standing at the front door smiling. We had so much fun everyday and it never felt like work. It was you, Mike, and me at our spot around the round table every morning. Our friends giving we shared and talking the limo driver into letting us do whatever we wanted. The end was the hardest though because we grew so close and knowing it was all going to be over soon. The last months were hard on me but you were always there for me. We made it through the hard times and you became a brother to me. You, mama, and Sierra are family and family is forever to me. Thank you for being a brother and a friend love you bro.
