Pop,
There are no words to express how much I miss you. Just know that Jeremy and I are taking care of Mema and will be there for her always. You have the most wonderful friends and I love hearing all the great stories they have about you, as they make me laugh and smile at a time when I am so sad. You know you could always depend on them in times of need. Hyme, Deb and Rhonda have been great as have many more friends and neighbors. I love you and miss you so much! Terri Girl

Dear Ruth, Terri and Jeremy,
Words can never convey our sorrow for your loss of Ty. Margie was his neighbor for close to 30 years and ours for the last 4. He was a wonderful guy and the best neighbor anyone could ask for. If anything looked suspicious - there was Ty, johnny on the spot, checking on us, especially Margie. We called him the Mayor of Eastcliff, because he kept up with all the neighbors and a friend to all. He was such a good friend. He could tell the funniest stories and we would get to laughing so hard. He was a good-hearted guy and he will be sorely missed.

Terri and Family,
We were so sorry to hear of the passing of your father. Although no words can ease your sorrow, take comfort in knowing that he is with our Lord and Savior. May the beautiful memories that you shared with him bring you peace during this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,
Donnie, Angie, Payton, & Sydney Ward

Thoughts of Tyler bring a smile to my face. Although we haven't communicated regularly, I had the pleasure of knowing him since third grade. We were linked alphabetically - Tyler Oster, Sherry Oswald - from third grade until we accepted our high school diploma. He was a wonderful person.
I know you will be sustained with wonderful memories.
God bless you and your family at this time. Sherry Oswald McClure

I am very sorry for your loss. He was the easiest sub to work with. I had him as a sub twice when he filled in for Mr. Eric Stevens who is the auto collision instructor at the HEB Technical Education Center.

I met Tyler through Fay Bridges and the Winfield Crew. Tyler was the only man I knew outside my family I allowed to call me Honey, Darling, Sweetheart, etc. because that was who Tyler was. While his heart was tired, it was pure. I will miss our yearly phone visits. Fay said it best. Tyler was one of the Good Guys!! Aren't they always the first to go.........

We are so very sorry for your loss. Having lived next door to Ty for the past 4 years, we got to know him very well, and he also taught as a substitute for some of my childrens classes at Trinity High School. We loved just standing by the back fence or sitting in the yard listening to his fascinating stories. He told us everything we needed to know about our house when we bought it. He was such a fun loving man, and so patient when my son put his drum set in the little house behind the pool that he himself once played music in. He was a dear friend to us and our 2 boys and he will be greatly missed. Peace and love to you all. You are in our prayers. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you in your time of need.

We are so sorry for the loss of Tyler, not only to his family but to all of us that knew and loved him. Thinking back has brought a lot of memories and smiles of really fun times shared long ago. He loved a good time and hearty laugh, and we had many with him, but he was that person with the huge heart that was the first one there when you needed a friend. Heaven is a better place today with Tyler there. Travel with love, Dick and Sheila Wheeler.

We are so very sorry for your loss. Someone wiser than I am said, "When we come to the edge of all the light that we know and we look out into the darkness, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: Either there will be something solid in the darkness for us to stand on or we will learn how to fly."
Love to you all,
