I can't even begin to comprehend the sorrow that Steve, Linda, Deanna, and the kids must be feeling. Let alone all the extended family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all, and I hope you find comfort in the great memories you had with both Troy and Natalie over the years.

Troy, You were such a special son. You tried to take care of everyone but did not take care of yourself. I miss you so but I know you are with your grandparents who loved you dearly and your sister who I know is happy she is with her big brother. Please watch over our family and keep us safe, especially the boys. Love you Mom

My Dearest Troy, You have been telling me for weeks how you were moving on and getting things ready. I never had any idea this is what you meant. I will try to help make all your plans come true. Danny is doing all he can to fill the hole you left in my heart. He misses you greatly and I have adopted him as my newest nephew. Smile down on us often. Love, Connie

Troy,
As I sit here writing this the memories just start flowing back to the summer days we played football, baseball and what ever other sport we chose to play in the neighborhood.You werent the biggest kid but you had the biggest heart. These memories will always be with me and never forgotten. It seems like yesterday we were riding bikes and just having fun doing kid things all day long.We have known each other for 30 years Even though we didnot see each other often I know when we did see each other we always had a good time. I will miss you but never ever forget you.... Jesse

Troy,

I can't believe that this has happened. As I stood there in your hospital room the night before you passed many emotions ran through my head and all the horrible memories of the day I heard what happened to your sister my cousin (Natalie) hit me so hard. I think to myself how unfair it is. I struggle to understand all of it. I know that you two are together with grandma & grandpa and that you are all okay. In fact you were always the favorite the (only boy) I'm sure they are so happy to see you!!! Tell my cousin how much I miss her & think about her daily. We all promise to look after your Mom, Dad & Dee. Please watch over our family and keep us safe. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Your cousin,
Erica
