My soul was overwhelmed w dismay whenever I learned of your passing. Out of all the elderly people or others w terminal illnesses, I don't think I will ever be able to comprehend why it had to be you. You were filled so much w youth, aspiration & compassion. You were full of LIFE, put differently... only for it to be taken away due to a fall. But you fell into paradise Tyler, for you fell into heaven. What more can anyone ask for? You're free!!! On earth, you will be missed, but in heaven, eternal life welcomes you w opened arms. Goodnight, travel well dear friend. Indeed we will one day cross paths again. I love you.
