Dear Bryce,
I miss you everyday, and love you so much. I can't believe it's been a year. Yesterday, I felt your sweet spirit with me. At your memorial service, your mother shared memories of you and your dad brought you close to us through dvd's. It seems like you and Mallory were running and playing all night. I love you very much! Sending kisses and hugs up to heaven from me!
Love, Grandma

One year ago, you went away / All the prayers in the world could not make you stay / Why you left - we will never know / How we've wished this wasn't so/
Still we know that where you are / Is forever in our hearts, never far / Laughing and playing, far up above / Surrounded by our dear Father's love / A cloud for your pillow, a rainbow your slide / Dancing and skipping by our Savior's side / In your heart, an abundance of joy / Forever and ever Mommy and Daddy's big boy / Memories of her, so sweet and of him, such fun / Big sister Mal, well she loves you a TON / Seasons may change and time will go by / But forever you'll be their precious "Big Guy"

"When God causes little angels to dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometime question the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache companies with the death of one small child,
who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God's time of calling the aged to his field grows old,
so he picks a special rosebud before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them and so he takes but few,
to make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try,
the saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye".
So when a little child departs we who are left behind,
must realize God loves children....
Angels are hard to find."
We love you so much big guy and miss you more each day.
October 9, 2008
"Let the little children come to me and do not forbid them;
for such is the Kingdom of God." Mark 10:14
I am sorry for the loss of your beautiful son. May God be with you and your families.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Monica, Brian, Mallory and family,
Though we don't know eachother all too well your loss has touched our lives in unmeasurable ways. You have been in our hearts and in our prayers and will always be. It was a comfort to attend Bryce's service and see the amazing amount of love that exists within your family and friends. May you draw strength from all the love you share and from Mallory's sweet little spirit. Bryce was as blessed to have you as you were to have him. His life was wonderfully happy and he carries that happiness in his heart. God Bless you all.

When God calls little children to dwell with him above,
We mortals sometimes question.
For no heartache compares with the death of one small child.
Who does so much to make our world,
seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold,
So he picks a rosebud before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them,
and so he takes but a few,
To make the Land of Heaven more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try.
The saddest word mankind knows will always be"Goodbye".
So when a little child departs,
we who are left behind must realize God loves children,
Angels are hard to find.
