Don't forget how much I love you, dad and Aaron and now we have baby Fitts. He is a true Reichenberger hoot, you would adore him as we do you. Love Mom C

Kirby, you've been gone now for a year and I have felt you every single day. I miss you so very much. I long for the day when we will be together again. That's God's call. I will stay here and do God's will until he calls me. Being here without you hurts my soul to the core. I love you with all my heart and soul. I just want to be with you. All my love forever, Moma

My Dear Kirby, Today is a very sad day for me. Today I will lay your ashes to rest. I don't really want to do this, I have found comfort in having your ashes with me. But I want to give you a proper Catholic burial. I am placing your ashes on top of your grandma's grave. She loved you so much, you were so special to her. I know you are with her now in heaven. Now your physical bodies will be together forever. I love you my Dear Son and I miss you so much, there are no words to describe my pain. I will wait for the Lord to call me and then we can be together in eternity. Until then you will never leave my heart. All my Love, Moma

Dear Kirby, I am missing you so much, tears never quit flowing. I talk to you all the time. I wish I could know if you hear me. I have a feeling that you are happy and with your Pops. BamBam is really missing you. I mentioned your name the other day and his little ears perked up. He's sure taking to Bitty, he wants to be with her all the time. I don't mind I just want him to be happy. Charlie and Bear came to visit him today, he was so happy. Splinny is clinging to me. I wish you could come visit me. I'll keep talking to you and I hope your listening. I'm really, really missing you. We will be together again some day, until then, know I love you with my whole being. Love you, Moma

We worked with Kirby and Mark on our home in Boulder. They were an amazing, kind, professional and gracious team. We remember them with really great memories from at least 15 years ago. That is the kind of impression they made on this world - we are so very sorry for your loss - Kirby was an exceptional young man.

Dear son it has taken me this long to view this site and write. You know oh to well how I deal with grief. I love you so much. I am so proud of you that you got confirmed and you and I parted with love in our hearts. You taught me many lessons over the years. Through our ups and downs, we always came back to each other. The love that your father, your brother, you and I had was unique and special. Thank you for loving us all and torturing your little brother at times, I believe that assisted him in being strong.

Kirby thank you for loving Jim, he loves you like all your Colorado friends and family. Your aunts,uncles and Grandparents on my side will miss your goofiness and stories. I son will miss hearing your voice and YOU. I could babble on forever, but it serves no purpose really. You know I am grieving and I love you so much. Hold dad in your arms for me and tell him he too is forever in my heart. God, I miss you with all my heart.Rest in peace. Mom and Jim

February 2, 2015

My sweet Son, Oh, how I miss you. You always gave me the funniest birthday cards. BamBam and Splinny miss you too. Please help me take care of them. The boys bark at nothing sometimes and I have to wander if it's your spirit visiting them. I want to believe it's you. So keep coming back, we love you.

We were all saddened to hear of Kirby's passing. We knew him as Bam Bam's dad and we always enjoyed the two of them coming to our store. Kirby always took a little time to visit with all of us and seemed to really love his little dog. Sending prayers to Kirby's family. Kim, Lisa, Carol and Carma @ EarthWise.

Teresa we are so sorry to hear about the passing of your son. My heart goes out to you. I will be thinking of you and praying for you. My oldest son died 5 years ago, and I know that there are no words to express the pain you are feeling. Love, Cindy and Jack Edwards.

January 24, 2015

My dear Kirby, how I miss you. I miss your "Good morning Mom, I love you". You made me coffee and brought it to me with a kiss. You made my life full. Adjusting to life without you is very hard, I'm just putting one foot in front of the other for now. I feel you with me. Did you see Bam playing yesterday? We can't replace you, but we're trying to help Bam. I know he morns you. I LOVE You, Mama

Oh Kirby, how I will miss your bright eyes and ear to ear grin. My heart is just broken. Hoping that you will help your " baby cuz" get through this very very hard time. I know I will have a time trying to accept your abscence. It will take me quite a while to stop the tears that will come and go. I have many memories of your letters and our conversations that I will always cherish with all of my heart. I love you, I will see you at the pearly gates!

I am saddened by the loss of such a wonderful man, as many others are too. I will be eternally grateful for having known such a genuine soul. Kirby often told me I was his angel, I must say he was indeed my own personal angel! Not only did kirby teach me self worth, he taught me how to love myself again. For that I will be grateful for the rest of my days. I will miss his mischievous smile, his love for friends and family, but most of all, I will miss his surprise visits (always at dinner time). I'm going to miss you beyond words and I'll never understand why God needed you so soon. However, I will rest easy knowing you are happy with your pops. Until we meet again!

Teresa, so sorry for your loss. At a great loss for words to console you. As a mom, this would be the hardest thing to bear. Our children should outlive us.
