Dear Erica, Bob, Nicole, and family,
It is with great sadness that I am writing to you today. I just learned about Tyler's passing. Tyler had such a warm, bubbly spirit! He was a shinning light in his first grade classroom at James Buchanan Elementary School and at home in the eyes of his parents, sister, Nicole, aunt, and cousins Brian and Michael, and of course his grandparents. Tyler will live on in our memories forever. Fondly remembered, Mrs. Cindy Stein

Tyler was such a good friend to my son, Andrew. He will be greatly missed! How lucky Tyler was to have you for a grandmother. I always remember how fondly you talked about your children and grandchildren. Tyler was well loved. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless you all.

Bob,Nicole, and Erica there are no words that can heal this pain I speak from experience I lost my brother in 07 and the pain me, my mom, and family felt was indescribable. My prayers are with you and your family at this hard time. Your son was always happy as can be and always made sure the ones around him were to. Very kind hearted gentlemen. I'll never forget any of the time I spent with him. He always brought the laughter into the room. He will forever be in my heart and memories. If you ever need anything please don't hesitate to ask.

May God bring comfort into all of your lives and know that your loved one is looking down on each and everyone of you.
