“... and I will try to keep my tears at bay. It's Advent time - preparing for the coming of the infant Jesus. He is the world's hope. And in believing in Him and His love, it helps me know that I will see you again someday. Miss you, Tyler xo

Missing You
Tyler,
I think of you from time to time, and today is one of those times. Missing your sly smile and effortless kindness. You are and always will be one of a kind. I hope you're enjoying it up there, doodling countless doodles and running your fingers through that incredible hair :)
XO, Sara

In my heart . . . aways
Years have passed since Tyler left us. And my heart still aches for him - missing him. I am only consoled by knowing - truly knowing - that he is in Heaven watching over us. Loving us as we love him. Miss you Tyler! Luv, Aunt Cindy

The 3rd anniversary . . .
Dear Tina, Tom, Ryan, Corey, Fecteau & Steen family.
Today is the third anniversary of Tyler's passing. It's somewhat mind boggling to think of today's coincidence concerning the killing of all the children and grownups in Newtown, Conn. Lucille and I know that as they pass up to heaven, Tyler will be there to comfort them.
We miss him terribly.
Love Papa

'A Day Never Goes By'
A day never goes by when we don't miss him especially today 12/14/2012. The pain and grief subside but never the memories of him. May he rest in peace..... Mom, Dad, Ryan and Corey

Another year . . . sigh . . .
Sometimes the happy memories of Tyler help -- not so this time of year. Especially tomorrow -- December 14th.
Prayers and Hugs to all my family and friends -- and continuing prayers for my God son Tyler, too . . .

Gone But Never Forgotten
First, I want to introduce myself...
My name is Ashleigh and I currently was offered a job position from your dad at CASAC.
The first time I heard about you was the first week I volunteered for CASAC at a youth conference. I must say, if no one was touched by your father's speech I definately was.
You are a marked angel who is in a better place, and one thing I always keep in mind is that God makes no mistakes because you are a true blessing.
I never knew you personally, but I enjoyed looking at your art work, you were very talented.
It was just the other day your dad and I were communicating and I told him ' This is the perfect job for you.' In his short time here at CASAC, he has spoke to many young adults, and I'm positive he changed at least one person life. And that's all it takes is one!
Sincerely, Ashleigh Edwards

Wishing Tyler was here to celebrate his birthday this week . . .
I'm gazing at Tyler's photo -- and Boomer's too . . . to luvvies that have passed. One that would be celebrating a birthday -- the other, the anniversary of his passing.
I picture them hanging out in Heaven together . . .
Missing both of them . . .
I noticed Aunt Suzi missing Tyler today, too . . . so many miss him.
Hugs to all!
luv, Cindy xoxo

It's a beautiful day.....
It's a beautiful day.....I'm sitting outside in the glorious sushine....my thoughts shift to Tyler who loved this kind of spring experience and the warmth of the sun. I remember him not wanting to come to Boston for college becuase the winters were too cold. I remember begging him and bribing him with money. I big grin appeared on his face...No way Aunt Suzie, I'm heading south to Savanah. Come vivist me! I smile to myself. The as always I feel the tears burn at the back of my eyes and a heavy feeling settles into my chest. Tylr I miss you soo very much.

Happy New Year Tyler
We were all together yesterday bringing in the New Year and our thoughts turned to you. We love and miss you.

Two years seems like ten
It's only been two years since we lost a vital organ in the physical and emotional body of our immediate family.
Important dates go by holidays, birthdays, and graduations when my mind wanders to Tyler and what it would be like to still have the joy of his presence. What jokes would he have told, what new experiences in his life would he have described, but most importantly I miss those wonderful hugs and reassuring smiles.
Our family still grieves for Tyler like an amputated limb that still aches.
In this holiday season our hearts will become full again as we will view the photos, videos and momentos that Tyler left behind and be grateful that he enriched our lives now and forever.

Know that we are with you in spirit and here is my entry into your special book.
Tyler was a special person - this I saw every time I was with him and that was often with all the Boy Scout gatherings we had over many years. Mature beyond his years, he never seemed to be a boy to me but a man in a boy's body. He was calm, intelligent and enjoyed interacting with everyone around him, especially adults. He gave us adults the window into what the other boys were up to. I have many full memories of him and watch him walking and talking through each and every one. I will share one which was took all of us adults quite by surprise! After years of incredible outings, it was time to award a few of the boys with advanced rankings, 'the three muskateers,' in particular. My son was turned down (he was one of the three) as he had not shown enough leadership skills - He was very hurt by this when they called the names and he was not called. The Boy Scout leaders did not recognize my Thomas for what he was - a poet and a thinker. He would never be able to show leadership but there was no flexibility. At the same time, Thomas was a follower and he followed Tyler and his buddies, the Leighton twins. They never cared about completing tasks and moving ahead in the scouts towards becoming Eagles.
Much to my dismay that day, Tyler,et al, (and now Thomas!) asked to speak in front of the crowd and boy, did they speak! There we all were, sitting in the woods, on stumps and in camp chairs, at a campsite, nice and cozy....about to be slammed out of nowhere! They said they were quitting and why and I was shocked! It came out of nowhere!
I also worked with Tyler at the Deja Vu antique shop when he borrowed my brand new camera and enjoyed taking photos. I can still see his hands gently working with that camera - he took great care of it and respected it. He photographed smaller antiques that we posted on-line to sell. We set up sheets and lighting in my basement to ...get the best pictures and tried different things to improve his photographs. Tyler had a lot of fun with this creative work. There wasn't a whole lot of money to be made in the depressed antique market but as soon as Esther and I got money from on-line sales, I made sure that Tyler got paid first and as much as possible! I wanted to reward his hard work and he was very pleased.
You left us much too soon, Tyler. It seems like God takes the best ones when the rest of us here on Earth least expect it. They say God picks the best flowers for his garden and that's just what he did. Thomas and I love you Tyler and we will never forget you. Thanks for including Thomas in your rebellious speech and demonstration that day you all quit Boy Scouts! At least he belonged to you when he no longer belonged to them. Much love and peace...
