Patrina, I really have been thinking about you a lot. I don't like that you have to feel this way. I know people say it will get better. It is hard to stop thinking ever, when it is your son. You know that I don't have any children, but I empathize. You have always been my favorite sister of Dawn, but don't tell anyone. I love you both. Lee

I'm sure that whenever any of your countless friends from Hollywood, Dania or 2nd ave gets together they'll take a moment to remember you!!!

Tim & Trina,
My heart, prayers and deepsest condolences go out to you and your families. I could fill 1,000 pages in here w/ stories of laughs, tears and growing pains w/ Ty. A leader and fierce competitor in every sport we played, but a true friend and compassionate person above all. Gleaming smile at 10 years old w/ few words where my brother and I first met Ty and of course Tim who was our longtime baseball and soccer coach when the days revolved around Middle River prior to the move to Dania Beach. To the years gone past on the baseball and soccer fields, the weeks spent in LaBelle bass fishing w/ your grandparents, the hours spent in the garage getting fades and ofcourse ridin out w/ da boys (c pop, cro dog, mike b, joe l, johnny t, bobby, etc. to name a few) you will NEVER be forgotten
...............................................................................

You my boy.......... R.I.P.

Your longtime friend,

Tyson,
I will always remember the times we shared in High School...Haircuts in your parents garage (where you were the official "FADE MASTER"), cruising in your "Custom Infinity" w/ "your boys" Johnny, Chris and J-POP, Adam, Mike B. Freddy P., Joe L., John (Himalaya Playa), the list could go on, going to Kotam Stereo / USA FleaMarket to get the latest mix tapes, Take 1 (unforgettable), BAR-B-QUE Sundays at MEX'S house on 2nd Ave., and countless days and nights of "hangin out" on Hollywood Beach from Sheridan Street Beach to ROCCO'S to La Concha, to Oceanwalk, and many many days of playing Paddle Ball on the "Garfield Street Courts" where you were always on top of your game. Those memories are remembered with smiles and a appreciation of a time that will never be forgotten. Your parents were always in my eyes "Kewl Parents" who always welcomed your friends to their home and were always very kind to me. I am deeply saddened for thier loss. And, I also will never forget that you were the one who "coined my moniker".
REST IN PEACE...
Your Friend,
Cro.

Mr and Mrs. Cates,

It will be the little things
that you will remember
the quiet moments, the smiles,
the laughter.
And although it may
seem hard right now,
it will be the memory
of these little things
that help to push away the pain
and bring the smiles back again.


Tyson, you are greatly missed and loved. Forever you will always live in my heart...

Dear Tim and Trina,
My thoughts are with you during this very sad time. I know there are no words to comfort you but I think it helps to know that so many people are lovingly holding you in the palm of their hands right now. I have many fond memories of Tyson...one being that we went to prom together. I also remember a time shortly after high school when I was living in Tampa. He called me to say that he was just outside my door. He drove all the way from Hollywood for a visit. What a great surprise! I send you and his loved ones all the strength and love I have.
