I am very sorry for your loss. Your family is in my prayers. My children went to school with Molly and Tyler. The sadness of Tyler's death effects more people than we could possibly know. People that knew him and people that just see how young he was in passing. Your loss will cause parents to hug their own children tonight in thankful appreciation of the realization that life is too short. Your family has had many difficulties to deal with and struggle through. May God hold you in His hand and bless your family and may Tyler watch over you. I am so sorry.
