Tyanna, went for a walk tonight with my husband here in SD while visiting his family. They have a traveling Vietnam Wall and a wall for casualites in Iraq. It didn't take me long to find you and Rogers in a field of names. I went to many memorials in the rear but you and Rogers affected me the most. We weren't close but it doesn't make your loss any less harder to forget. ~Kelley (Bisson)

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also to let the Avery-Felder Family know that we recently sent Care Packages to American troops in Afghanistan. Each box carried a dedication sheet that includes the name, service information and photo of your loved one. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

Hey girl, I am gonna try to make this short. Even though its been so long you know that I think of you so much. I just hope you like the flowers I brought you Monday. You know I wasnt leaving the east coast without seeing you again. With me being in Texas now I dont know when I will be back but I am just glad I was able to see you as much as I could while on the east. You already know everything that is in my heart and on my mind. Plus we had a nice talk on Monday, so I will leave it with just a simple I love you and miss you much.

Dear Mr. Felder and Mr. & Mrs. Avery.
I am writing as a representative of the Home of the Brave Quilt Project.
I want to offer my condolences on the death of your wife/daughter. I have read many of the newspaper accounts, and I cannot imagine your grief at the loss of such a special young woman. I wish I had met her.
I want you to know that two quilts have been made for you in her honor.
My part in the project is to contact the family and to verify information for delivering the quilt. I hope that you will feel comfortable in accepting the quilts as a symbol of our thanks & desire to reach out to you and your family.
As I contact the families and learn about their loved ones. I am stuck by the varied responses that I receive. Know that your grief is a private thing and that any response, including a refusal is also private. Please contact me for quilt delivery information or if I can clarify anything.
My prayers and thanks to you
Sincerely
Adi Sutherland,

Tyanna to your loving family I express my deepest sympathy. I truly know the hurt and pain that they have lived with each day. My 19 year old Grandson Spc. Dane R. Balcon was killed in action on Sept. 5, 2007 and the pain is still with me and the entire family. I selected your book to write in because your warm smile reached out and touched me. After completing a tour in South Viet Nam forty years ago, I longed to hear these words that I express so lovingly to your family..."Thank you for your service and sacrifice"

Dear Avery-Felder Family,
This is probably weird because I dont know any of you, but I found out about Tyanna when i got this CD call "East 2Tha West". I got this CD because I just lost the closest person to me. My Big Brother. I have had this CD for a while now and just thought to look it up on the internet. I read Tyanna's Honor the Fallen artical. Truthfully I cryed. I know how it is to loose loved ones and family to the war. I have lost a few. But I just wanted to find a way to tell any of you that You are barve to go on like you do. Keep your head up.. Thas the only way to go. One foot in front of the other, one step after the next.
I also wanted to say to whoever made that CD, I love it. I listen to it alot. It reminds me of my brother.
If you want to get a hold of me just look me up on Myspace.

The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”

I did not know Tyanna, but she is my hero.

It will be four years this April, but it seems like yesterday we were hanging out and getting into trouble. Like when we cut out of a run and had to do push-ups till everyone else came back. Oh or the time we borrowed the mustang and it ran out of gas. What I miss most is our silly little antics to get through the day. We always could make eachother laugh.

I dreamed about you last night. It was like you never died. Our friendship was right were it was supposed to be; we were hanging out and shopping. I took you to get your nails done but you didn’t like the color, you made her do them again. I just laughed b/c that was so like you. Then we were in your car and we were talking about our life problems, and I was sad because I knew it was a dream. You cried in my dream and I hugged you it was so real I didn’t want to let go but I knew I had to. Then I woke up and I cried. It seems like yesterday we were hanging out and getting in trouble. I still miss you.

Dear Avery-Felder Family,

I realize there is NOTHING that could be said to you that could ever ease the loss that your family has endured... I wouldn't even begin to try.

I simply felt the need to convey my deepest, heart felt condolences, to those that lived nearest me...

I SIMPLY HAD TO reach out to those that lived closest to me and let their families know that the sacrifice that their SONS & DAUGHTERS have made ARE NOT, and WILL NOT be forgotten, and were not made in vain!

We gladly add your beloved daughter to our prayers, along with ALL of our other fallen Sons & Daughters!

God Bless YOU and YOUR FAMILY, and "MAY THE PEACE OF THE LORD BE WITH YOU!"

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON (KIA on 07/06/07) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Your Freedom Fighter has served the Country above and beyond the call of duty, let no one ever tell you different. With the mission now completed your Warrior has been redeployed to Heaven to sit on the right hand of the Supreme Commander and Chief.

Tyanna,
I have never known you personally, but always looked forward to it. My cousin was so happy to be married and talked about you all the time, I could not wait to meet the amazing woman that I had heard so much about. I was shocked when I heard the news and immediately began to pray for you and your family, when the final word came back, sorrow overcame me and I wished that if only for a second or a even a day that I could have traded places with you to keep you here with all of the people who love and adore you. I have heard many touching stories about you and the lives that you have touched while you were here. I have wanted for so long to sign this guestbook but didn't think I could find the right words to say. I had never seen Adrian smile so big, or laugh so loud at the thought of anyone, his eyes were so intense whenever he mentioned you. It was tremendously hard to get up and play my saxophone during your funeral, I could not stop shaking and tears were streaming down my face. I was honored to pay tribute to you. Ever since that day, I have regained a new sense of confidence and pride for the life that I live, I find myself thinking, what kind of impact do I really have on those around me. You truly inspired me to want to strive to be a woman who is strong,and caring but knows when to put up a fight. Although I did not get the chance to meet you while you were here, I look forward to seeing you in the pearly gates someday.
I love you and I miss you.

I remember that you were so happy when you found out I was pregnant. You couldn't wait to find out what I was having and you were destined to be my baby's god mother! Well, Aaliyah is now almost 3 and I'm sure you would've loved her! However, I know that you're watching over us now and you're in a better place! Words can't explain how much I miss you and your bubbly personality. I'll always love you and you'll always be apart of me!

Dear Spc.Tyanna, There are many days where I complain about a lot of things,like not having $$ to buy those new jeans,fighting with my mother.All the things you will never be able to do again,I shall remain gratful with the help of my higher power. Then there are days like this when I become so gratful for my life, my family. I become gratful to be a young woman growing up in America, this country is beautiful & will stay that way b/c of wonderful Angels like yourself. Your family is devastated & so are your friends, I saw it in their writings, but they are also very blessed to have someone as strong, beautiful & courageous like you watching over them. my complaints are annoying & stupid & your story & the fact that you went so far away to do what you beleived in & you died for the cause helps me to realize that woman are capable of doing ANYTHING they put there mind at. You fought although you had a loving spirit, you fought for more woman than we may ever understand. Thank you for being my hero, Love.

Tyanna, on this crazy journey we call life we are spiritual beings on a human journey. I remember the good times we have in our 4 yrs at Kolbe and those will always bringa smile to my face. Although you are missed and the Lord know's why he called you home to be by his side. He needed another Angel and although tears are shed let them not be tears of sadness but tears of joy for the time that you blessed every life you touched. You watch over us all and you gave of yourself the ultimate sacrifice....your life....to defend our freedom and way of life. Should the sky turn black and the sun shine know more the fire that you left behind will burn brighter than any star that ever lit the night sky. You are loved and remembered always.



May you be at peace and may you watch over your family and friends and fellow soldiers.



Love Eternal

It may sound crazy, but in alot of ways she taught me how to be strong, and I thank God everyday for allowing her into my life. And for that she will ALWAYS be in my heart. And I pray for strengh and love for the Avery-Felder family with nothing but love.

Psalm 23



1

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2

He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,

3

He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

6

Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.



This is a verse that I have found to be comforting to me during my husbands death. Remember that when it seems that no one else is round, God is still there with you! And he will be your rock!



My daughter,McKaLyne, and I send our heartfelt sympathy for your loss! God Bless this warrior, God Bless those whom serve freedom's cause! They are our true HERO's!!!!



Also, the Moving Tribute is was beautiful! Cherish those memories forever!



If you need anything, please feel free to contact me!!!

Tyanna-

Words can not describe how I feel now that you are in another place. But I know that now you're safe and free. That gives me comfort and helps me through each day and night, each minute, and every second. I miss you soooooooooo much and wish I could do so many things differently. But since only God can decided our fate, I have faith that he chose you for a reason. I know you have served your purpose in life, and now are serving it in heaven. Thank you for being you.

Lots of love to you Minime.

It has been over a year now since Tyanna has passed and not a day goes by without remembering some of our crazy times together. I've been with Felder (Avery) since basic training and I consider her my sister. I remember getting our orders together in AIT and thinking I was so lucky to have someone I know go with me to Ft Lewis and then to go on and get the same unit and even the same feeding team not to mention roomates for awhile. Tyanna was there through everything she helped me find my first appartment to leaving for Iraq together. We were eachothers support system. I remember the night before we were leaving for Iraq (we were in Kuwait). She woke me up (I slept in the cot next to her), and asked me to go outside our tent to talk. At that point she told me how scared she was and that she wanted me to pray with her. We sat out there and talked about our families and how we would be fine and before we new it we would be home. We talked about all the things we wanted to do when we got home and then I reassured her that we came together so we would leave together. Oh God I wish things could of been different. I tried so hard to get on a convoy to see her when she was hurt. When I finally made it to the hospital the doctor told me she was on her way to Germany and that there she could get the treatment she needed and she would be fine. I was so happy I went back to my FOB thinking how she would get to see Adrian soon. Then shortly after dinner that evening my 1SG gave me the news.....so many things went through my head....mainly why GOD? I just want her friends and family to know that we tried to take care of eachother as much as we could. I love her and miss her. Your sister through God

I was one of Tyanna's closest friends. I was in B CO 2/3 INF, I'm in supply. Tyanna was like a big sis to me and always looked out for me. I miss her more than life itself. I know everyone says this but I would give my life to have her here on earth. God bless you Tyanna

TO TYANNA S. AVERY-FELDER'S FAMILY:

MAY GOD CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN YOU AND SHOWER YOU WITH HIS INFINITE LOVE AND BLESSINGS. I AM SORRY I DID NOT HAVE THE PLEASURE OF KNOWING TYANNA (I LIVED IN BRIDGEPORT FOR 37 YEARS), AND AFTER READING THE GUEST BOOK ENTRIES, I FEEL AS IF PART OF MY LIFE IS INCOMPLETE BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW THIS BEAUTIFUL, BRAVE AND COURAGEOUS YOUNG LADY. THANK YOU, TYANNA, FOR HELPING US TO KEEP THE FREEDOM THAT YOU PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE FOR US TO HAVE. MAY YOU REST IN PEACE ON THIS 4TH OF JULY THAT REPRESENTS THIS FREEDOM.

Hey, Avery I don't know if you were in there with me today, but just finished a Promotion Board and I made it. It's so weird that I got this far being that we both said we were getting out the army when our time was up (even though we were still in Basic Training). But I remember when you emailed me last year and told me you were going to Re-enlist and come over here to Germany. I was shocked, but said if you do it I will too. Now a year later I still think how it would've been and what am I going to do? So, I made it to the next step and you know you would've been the first to know if you were still here. And you still are. Now As of 1 June 2005 I will be

Hi minime. I miss you more and more everyday. Life for me has been tough since you left. Somethings have seemed to just keep going downhill. Even though you are not physically here, I know that you are guiding me through these tough times. I often hear your words and that eases my pain. I knew you would be my friend for eternity. I will be patient and strong and wait for the day we can meet again. God Bless you and your family. I miss you and you are in my thoughts everyday and everynight. Thanks for your love. Your best friend Tiff.

i know your up there looking down on us and watching over us but i sure wish you were here. I never imagine going through life without my little sis, it seems like you were just telling me that when i have kids you were going to spoil them now who will take your place. who would always tell me that i am the strong one well i sure don't feel like that now. You never really knew how proud i am of you you are my hero and my little sis and i will always look up to you. will you please continue to look over us and keep us strong.Don't worry i will never let anyone forget you and what you have done for this country. So until we meet again just remember that i always loved and will continue to love you see you later

Hi Pat



You probably don't remember me. We worked together at Pepperidge Farm way back when (smile). Alice and I still keep in touch. I have remarried and moved to Atlanta. Saw your Daughter's Picture on TV. Being that I haven't seen her since she was a little girl, I didn't recognize her. But I want you to know you and your family have my husband, Bill and myself symphathy. And most of all you will be in our prayers
