    My first thought when I met Buggy was, finally, someone as short as me! I actually told him that and from that day on, I was known as shitbird or shitbaby! He always made me laugh and always tried to help me understand alot of things that were beyond my control. He was small in stature but had the biggest heart. I will miss your smile and your dance moves Buggy! Rest peacefully now until we meet again.
