If tears could build a stairway And memories were a lane We would walk right up to Heaven And bring you back again

No farewell words were spoken No time to say goodbye You were gone before we knew it And only God knows why

Our hearts still ache in sadness And secret tears still flow What it meant to lose you No one will ever know

But now we know you want us To mourn for you no more To remember all the happy times Life still has much in store

Since you'll never be forgotten We pledge to you today A hallowed place within our hearts Is where you'll always stay

Rest in peace sweet boy.

Lisa Daywalt

Music, when soft voices die

Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory—
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

REST IN PEACE BABY BOY

Touched by an Angel

November 15, 2007

Tyler,

I keep thinking your short-lived life and tragic ending will be easier to cope with as time passes...BUT...the reality is that it is still as difficult as the first time I learned of you and your sister earlier this year. Today would have been your 6th Birthday here on earth. I never had any sons...only daughters. However, you exemplify every delightful quality I would have longed for in having a son. As difficult as it is to imagine, your painful journey into God's arms is a reminder to all of us what a divine gift children are...even if they are with us only a short while. If there is ever any doubt, one only needs to consider the handsome, dazzling, charming & beautiful qualities you and your sister possessed. Your heavenly smiles will light up all of God's kingdom! I have no doubt you were always there to protect your sister, since a leading characteristic of a Scorpio child is to protect their sibling(s). I know you are busy playing with Scooby Doo, tractors, trucks and all the fun toys boys enjoy playing with...but this Birthday message comes to you as a reminder that you are greatly missed and loved!

Tyler, bright eyed baby boy.....I have no prayers for you now....as I know you will never need anything again....in Heaven you are happy, and safe, and loved. And you have your sissy....I would pray for you to return, if it could be done. Instead I pray for comfort and strength for your mommy to get through this life without you both. My heart just breaks that this happened to you!! Thank God it's over....you're in God's arms now....and there's no greater place to be.
You''ll always be loved, missed and remembered.
Rest in Peace, Angel Boy...
The world loves you so much!

To my sweet baby boy,
Mommy misses you sooo much! I wish every second of everyday that I had you and your sister,Ariana still with me. I have to believe that you are in a better place now, a place where there is no more pain or hurt. Words can not even explain the excruciating loss I feel without the two of you. I know that you are taking care of your sister, nana like you always have. Loving her and protecting her but I miss your laugh, and your handsome face and your funny sayings. I miss waking up to you every morning giving you cereal (I know NO MILK!) I miss watching play outside in the yard and riding your bike and I miss watching movies with you (Scooby-Doo was always your favorite. There are so many things that I miss.All I have know are memories. I cry everytime I see the school bus since you would have been started your first day of school this month. Your big brother, Raymond misses talking to you on the phone like you two did all the time. You never got to meet your other little sister, Autumn Raine. I'm sure you would have looked out for her the same way as you did for nana. Every thought of everyday is that we will find your body but I know that will never be possible. You deserved so much more, your life ended so sad and tragic and way too short. I will always love you and miss you.
BIG HUGS AND KISSES!!!
Mommy

Jamie Hallam

To my Baby Boy,
Mommy misses you so much. I wish every second of every day that you were still here with me. I miss your laugh and your funny sayings. You were definately one of a kind.You would have started your first day of school this month and I cry everytime I see a school bus. I know that you are now in a better place where there is no more hurt and that you are taking care of Nana just like you always have.You are missed by your big brother, Raymond very much. He still wants to talk to you on the phone like he always did. I know that your little sister Autumn Raine will miss you too even though you passed away before you could meet her. Life is not the same without you and how I miss you and Ariana sooo much! Words can not describe the pain in my heart that I will forever feel. I'm sorry for the pain and hurt you experianced on this earth. Just know that you are loved and missed by many and you will always be my baby boy.
LOTS OF HUGS AND KISSES!!!!
Mommy

May God give the the whole family the peace, you all, so much need at this time. I have followed the story too, and I can't understand, why things like this happens. I have seen Tyler and his beautiful sister's picture, many times and prayed that they would be safe.
They are so happy at this time enjoying God's heavenly playground where no more harm will ever come to them. I am so sorry for the loss of your children, who were so loved [as, I can see], by the family.No one can ever take the Special bond & memories you have of them away from you. Please know, that I am praying for you & the rest of the family. May they rest in the arms of Jesus, as they wait for the others to join them. May the Lord Bless all of you, is my prayer.

Tara Repscher

August 26, 2007

I miss you so much Tyler. I will never forget the joy that you have brought to me. You are the sweetest little boy and I will always keep you in my prayers.

I miss you so much and I will never forget the wonderful times we shared together reading books and playing. Love you forever and always. Hugs and Kisses. Love Aunt Tara.
