So here I sit, watching memories of you in my mind, I'm just now finding the odd time that I can laugh when these play through my mind, almost 11 years later, I miss you so much, what Mother wouldn't miss such an amazing Son, my golden child. Geez you've had a few of our best join you, Auntie Brenda being the most recent, before he was Uncle Rick and before him was Auntie Margaret, of course Nana joined 1st, I'm glad that you were here to great her, she loved you so, I on the other hand have too wait awhile, it seems its not mi time yet, I have your 3 sisters and your 3 nieces still here but I wish I had your. Oh my Tavell Tyrone, time is but a man made measurement so I'm hoping when I see you after all these years it'll only feel as if it's been but a blink of an eye, until then you are within my heart day and night.
I love and miss you always,
Love Mum

Time has gone on but it has also stood still because you're not here. I think of all the things that you might have been doing that you enjoyed, having adventures, laughing, you smiling, giving those big hugs that I hold close in my memories and heart. I miss you so much my Son, my Tavell Tyrone, my heart aches, it always will for you. When the time comes for me to see you again I want one of your big hugs, then I will be happy again, I love you, you are always in my heart. Love, your Mum

Hi my Son, my golden child, not a day goes by that I think of you, miss you and remember your laugh, smile and those beautiful brown eyes, so kind.

I miss you so much.
Love your Mum, lost but waiting ......

It's now been 1 year and almost 8 months since you're gone my son, I still can not accept you are gone. Everyday that goes by you are on my mind, wishing I could hear your voice, get a hug, a call, see you, listen to your stories, hear your laugh, see your grin, your smile and so much more. Anyways I wait for the day that I can do all of those things with you and more, my wonderfully spirited son, my Tavell Tyrone. Mummy misses and loves you.

I went to high school with Tavell. Very nice person. Kind-hearted. Very sad and unfortunate to hear this news.

God is good all the time. Tavell is gone off to start a new adventure.

I just received a phone call from my mom today to inform me of the passing of Tavell.
Tavell was the very first friend I had when I moved to Toronto, I bet him 2 dollars I could ride his bike and of course I failed. This began our friendship. We were best friends for the next 10+ years. We lived in the same building and did everything together. Linda was my second mother. There was not a day that would go by when we didn't hang out, either going to the comic store to the latest Spiderman or punisher comic, chilling at yorkdale, or just sitting in the building playing with our GI Joe and construx torments the "teenagers". wish I had not lost touch with him, but our lives had both gone in opposite directions when I hit grade 11. He was a great guy and even better friend. I wish I could have a do over button
This news is very saddening, At least I know the angels now have someone to watch over them now.
Save me seat buddy and we can continue where we left off.

Death is a sad and tragic affair
Even when it is long anticipated
But no death is as hard on the living
As the unexpected death of a loved one

Death does not always come with warning
With time to say the sad farewells
Sometimes it comes, unannounced
With no time for even a brief goodbye

There are the saddest of times
When death takes one so dear to us
Without any warning, unexpected
And in our grief, we bid our sad farewell

Farewell, Rest In Peace

Tavell, I never got a chance to meet you, but I have had the pleasure of being able to work with your most beautiful wife Bel. From all I heard about you, you sounded like one pretty extraordinary guy. You will be sorely missed here, but you will remain forever in our hearts.

Life is a book in volumes three-
The past, the present, and the yet-to-be.
The past is written and laid away,
The present we're writing every day,
And the last and best of volumes three
Is locked from sight - God keeps the key.
