to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow
of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo
whispering softly down the ways‚
Of happy times and laughing times
and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve‚
to dry before the sun
of happy memories that I leave
When life is done.
We are all better for having known you. RIP my friend, my deepest condolences

How can a family ever be the same from something so tragic as this. My heart is broken for all of you. He was so handsome and I heard what wonderful parents and family he was blessed with. I am so, so sorry for such a huge loss in your lives. I hope you lean on family and friends and have faith, and find the strength you need from our Lord above, and all of your family and friends, here on earth. God Bless your heavy hearts that you will bare the rest of your lives. God Bless you each and every single day!

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh, but Jesus'love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still,
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remains,
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
Mike and I at the beach

(his laugh is unforgettable) Last night we said our goodbyes- how unreal. 22 years old and had the world in his hands, the most handsome man I have ever met. I am honored to have had so many great times with him.. the memories will never fade. He will never be forgotten, your family will be in my prayers. May he rest in Peace <3
