Another Mother's Day without you. The heartbreak is always with me, but Mother's Day is unbearable. You always made a point of being with me on this day, no matter where you were, you always came home. I will see you soon. I love you so much.

Some people's positive energy is natural, I worked with Bryon, I recognized the good in his spirit from day one, I'm usually apprehensive when it comes to meeting strangers, but I connected with Bryon from day one, and I could tell that he understood, that I genuinely vibbed with him, his positive energy, is the kinetic energy that makes life worth living, my heart remains heavy, and hopefully, his spirit will live through, all the people he touched positively... Miss you Brother...Condolences to all his loved ones...

When I met Bryon it was love at first sight. We shared an amazing 16 years together and through it all we remained best friends. All of us who know Bryon have been left with a gaping hole in our hearts. I know that he will never be forgotten and he'll be remembered for his smile, laughter and heart. I'm blessed that he and his family were and are still a part of my life.

I will miss you so much Bryon, you had such a great sense of humor, your laugh would light up the room. We had some good times together and I know you are not supposed to say this but you were my favorite nephew, maybe because we were so close in age or because we were always around each other. You will always be in my heart. I love and miss you.

When I was about 10 years old I moved to Creve Coeur and moved next door to Frank and Kathy Aberle. One day, I heard on the knock on the door and it was Angie from next door she had told told us that her father wanted her to introduce herself . From than on Angie and Bryon and Greg became my second family. Angie was my best friend. Bryon being the one of the oldest brothers looked after us. I have so many good memories of Bryon. I'm so sorry for your loss of your angel. Bryon was a wonderful person. He will truely be missed by all.
