Chad,

Tyler were sick and I had taken him to the ER. While we were sitting in there waiting for the doctor Tyler said the follow; "When I was a little baby, my dada came to see me in the hospital." I look at him with my eyes begin to water and said he is with us now. It is so amazing how he remembers the little things when he were so small. That goes to tell you what a great father you were and always will be.

Love,

Chad,

Oh boy! Yesterday evening was hell but I am going to saddle up and see what today brings. But the one thing that keep me focus is the memories of you and I which will never be forgotten no matter what; and the handsome son that you and I share. As the days come and goes the more he become a mirrow image of you. I have Bryanna and Kayla here with me also. Tyler is in the living room playing with his wrestler mens and the girls are in the bedroom getting dress for a talent show we are having. Tyler says he is going to be the Undertaker and Shon Micheal.(LOL). April 30th is fast approaching and I will be out there to spend a part of that day with you. It would have been six years for us. I have a different outlook on life and remembering the memories that we shared is what keep me going and knowing that I have a son who needs me no matter what. I rather spend my days focusing on the positive things in life than to sit around and dwell on the negative ones. I sit here looking at our son while he play, and think how he makes my life so bright and happy verses sitting in a room dark room being sad. I know depression is hell and I refused to let it take me there. I thought I had to tell you that. I love you then and still love you now. You will always be a hero to me and others. Godspeed my whitechocolate save a seat for me because I hope to be 10-76 to your 10-20 one day. Oh if Tyler make it to become a professional wrestler; which he say he is then no need to worry, because Tracy will make sure Tyler know the ropes .(lol)


Love,

Chad,

Tyler had fun Hunting eggs at your parents house. While he was walking around with your father and your brother, I could just see you in Tyler. The way he looks, his walk and that smile of his I still see you. I was sitting down in a chair on the patio and staring at your grill I had given you. I remember how you would grill those good hamburgers and hot dogs while standing smoking your NewPorts. Boy who looked so hot and handsome it reminded me of the day we met at Dooly. I am so thankful to have a child that we both were able to share some special times with and enjoy. Tyler still remember the incident about the eggs and how you cooked him some noodles.I have a picture of that day and from the look of the picture, he really enjoyed those noodles. He still misses you and even though he had just turned two at the time, Tyler remembers alot and the one thing he remember is you being his daddy and a great father. Some people still comes by and check on us and I really appreciate them for coming by and I know you would be grateful also. Those are the dedicated ones who are so sincere. Well gotta go until next time.

Love,

You above all people could understand me. I know I had my faults and I am sorry for that. Bry is out on Spring break and is so happy her birthday is comming up. Everyday when I take her to school she asks if she can have you back and I break inside for her. She is a strong girl and you would be and are proud of her. Ty is getting so big and is a spitting image of you. I loveyou little brother and miss you more than you know. Love Mandy

Chad you are missed so much daily. Bry is doing great in school and she always talks about you. It broke all our hearts when you left especially hers. Ty looks more like you everyday and you would be so proud. We had great kids and it is sad to know that you can only see from heaven. I know you would be proud of both of them they've grown so much. I think about you all the time and the good times we all shared and how every moment was special. You will forever be in our hearts and forever be missed. We love you little brother.

Dear Chad for some reason you are on my mind alot these days. You are greatly missed each day not only by me but everyone. It seems no matter what you seem to stay in our thoughts. Bryanna misses you daily and still has a hard time with you being gone she has grown so much and is so smart. Tyler is a spitting image of you and is just like you. You would be so proud of them. We all miss you and it is still painful not having you here to talk to. In closing I miss you we all miss you and love you little brother.
