It is hard to believe that it has already been two years. It seems like it was just a few months ago that I was home for Christmas break joking with you at Wolk's memorial basketball tourney. God may have been able to take you from us; however, he will never be able to erase the joyful memories that we shared together, as well as the memories you created with others. Hopefully everyone attempts to reminisce about the good times that they shared with you, and not dwell on the fact that you are no longer with us. Regardless of the pain that has been inflicted as a result of your passing upon everyone whose lives you touched, one thing is certain. It was undoubtedly better to have known you, than to have never known you at all. Today, Kyle, we celebrate your life. Always remembered, never forgotten. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Stang family. We all miss you bud. Rest in peace.

It is hard to believe it has been 2 years since you went home Kyle. All of your friends miss you so much and life has never been the same for them. I pray everyday for your parents to help them get through each day.

Thinking about you every day and especially during this holiday.

We miss you so much, Kyle

It has been a year and not a day goes bye in my life that I'm not thinking about all the great times we had together. From sking trips to the crazy summers when we would all go to the beach. It seems like the pain will never go away. I miss you Kyle more than ever, watch over all of us and open up the gates for me when it's my turn. Love you bro

this last year has been the hardest thing i have ever gone through, and i think i can safely speak for a lot of people when i say that. you were an absolutely amazing kid, you brought so many memories to anybody that ever had the priviledge of talking to you. 2/7 replays in my head like a nightmare almost everyday. through the events of that day i have learned to "carpe diem" as Mag would say. things have been tough for the last year without you, but when i realize that you are watching over each and every one of us everyday, it makes it a little easier to deal with. Im sure it isnt difficult to see how much everyone cared/cares about you. I love you bro, and continue to save me when i do stupid stuff. Our thoughts and prayers remain with you and your family.

There is no period at the end of grief

It dangles incomplete

Life interrupts

Theirs, ours

A child punctuates our lives forever,

His absence,

Poignant reminders

You are in our hearts today and everyday, Kyle. We love you.

It's surreal that tomorrow it will be a year since you were taken from us. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. You are with us in everything that we do. Watching the Superbowl tonight, with the Eagles playing the Patriots...We all know who you would be rooting on. I miss you so much, Kyle. 2.7.04 until we meet again<3 What a life to take, what a bond to break, i'll be missing you.

It's almost a year and there isnt a day that i dont think of you, or look at your picture and think about how good a person and friend you were, and how much you affected my life. Every person you met you touched, and that person will always carry a piece of you with them the rest of their life. You are the best and will never be forgotten.

Kyle, your there when I wake up, your there when I take an exam, or when I'm walking to class, your even there when im sleeping...Its only been a year but it seems like you've been gone forever. Although your memories are still the closest to my heart, I have come to terms with my sorrows. I now take every breath like its my last and appreciate the priviledge of being your friend. Instead of feeling sorry for myself when I find myself missing you...I think of all the people in this world who never got to see your shining smile, and I begin to feel sorry for them instead. I will NEVER forget you!!! ALIVE IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER!

Its the year new now and were all ready to move on to new memories, new activities, and more. But one thing we will never move on from is our thoughts and sorrow of Kyles death. We still miss you so much and wish you could have been here to celebreate a brand new year. Good wishes to the Stang family and may you have happiness and health. Rip Kyle- we love you.

Dear Kyle:

Thinking of you on this Christmas Eve...

We will light a white candle in your honor tonight and let it burn into Christmas Day. We envision you with your Pop Pop this Christmas--setting up a cool, heavenly train garden-a Christams tradition that you were never able to share with him until now. That makes us smile, a little. We love you.

Christmas In Heaven

We're wondering what Christmas in Heaven is like

As we grieve alone and pray,

longing for one who has gone before

To spend Christmas in Heaven today.

And so in our dreams we wander far

From the scenes and sounds of earth

'Til we catch the strains of the Heavenly choir

As they sing of the Christ Child's birth.

The Angels we envision there

As they join in the restal gay

And there amid the throng is our Loved One

Spending Christmas in Heaven today.

There's joy in the faith that teaches

When our life's work is done

Of a place in Heaven awaiting

And the crown we worked for is won.

In our grief may we learn well the lesson

So to work and suffer and pray

As to merit the joys of our loved one

And to spend Christmas together some day.

My First Christmas

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below,

With tiny lights like Heaven’s stars, reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear,

For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,

But the sounds of music can’t compare with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,

For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart.

But I am not so far away. We really aren’t apart.

So be happy for me, dear ones, you know I hold you dear,

And I’ll be glad I’m spending Christmas with Jesus Christ

this year.

I sent you each a special gift from my heavenly home above.

I sent you each a memory of my undying love.

After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold.

It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do.

For I can’t count the blessing or love He has for each of you.

So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear.

Remember that I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I remember how I first met Kyle. My dad coached a team for 5th/6th grade basketball, and I was in 6th grade, so I did not know any of these 5th graders on the list to be drafted. So, I asked Andrews who the good younger kids were, and he responded by saying, "Stang, take Stang, no one knows about him." Stang had just moved here. We took this advice, and drafted Kyle. Our team dominated the league and won the tournament. Ever since then, I have shared nothing but good memories with Kyle. I know that I speak for everyone who knew him, when i say, we miss him dearly. Losing two friends last year, Kyle, and Adam Wolk to leukemia, has changed my view on life. No longer do I stress about the little things in life, because I realize that the little things are just that, little. Today on the first Thanksgiving since Kyle's passing, I finally understand the true meaning of the holiday, and what we all should be thankful for. Life is a blessing given from god, and we all should be thankful for having the gift of life. As many of us have learned this past year, life is what we should be thankful for most. Sometimes it can be taken for granted. Life is where it all begins, without it, we are nothing. God Bless you Kyle

It's your birthday and it doesn't feel right. Every year we always plan on surprising you in some new way for your birthday and then celebrating all night. I still don't know why this year can't be any different. Today I celebrate the fact that I had the wonderful privilege of knowing you and was very close to you. I hope that you are safe up in heaven and doing well. Continue to watch over us all, the signs from you are a big help to everyone. Enjoy your birthday, I'll be wishing you a happy one for sure. Still ain't nobody that can bang wit us, and no one ever will. R.I.P. bro, love you forever. 1

Grief is the darkness of a broken life.

Grief crushes like a deadly avalanche.

Grief is a story sea that throws the heart

into the depth of pain, the center of despair.

But we are given tender remedies:

Remembrance of a golden joy embraced,

Rich feeling left from moments in the sun.

If we but reach for these:

they wait beyond the dark to give us hope,

to let us live again, to let us celebrate

the children gone from earth, yet always here

eternal light of memory and love.

~Sascha

Thinking of you, Sweetheart, and celebrating your life and rejoicing in your memory on your birthday. Love you.

As time passes the pain has not stopped. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and it consumes my mind even more now. I still cant believe you're gone and the only thing that helps me is the hope that ill see you again one day. Its not the same without you and never will be. I wish I could just hear your laugh or see your smile one more time. Always thinking and praying for you man. Missing you always Stang

Life's like a road that you travel on

When there's one day here and the next day gone

Sometimes you bend sometimes you stand

Sometimes you turn your back to the wind

There's a world outside every darkened door

Where blues won't haunt you anymore

Where the brave are free and lovers soar

come ride with me to the distant shore

Life is a highway...

I want to ride it all night long...

There ain't no load I can't hold

Road so rough this I know

I'll be there when the light comes in

Tell 'em we're survivors...

I miss you every day, Kyle.

Love,Aunt Dawn

I wish I knew when the pain would end. I wish I knew when I could see you again. I wish things could go back to the way they used to be. I just do not understand why you had to go. You made everyone so happy and now that your gone theres a light thats missing among our friends. I miss you now more than ever. I can feel you here with us and when I am singing 'Life is a Highway' in my car I know you are right there singing it with me. I send my deepest sympathy to Kyle's family.

I think about you all the time, every hour of every day. I know you're here with us, at school, at parties, when we're alone...we'll never forget you. You changed every life you touched, you were that special. May we each have the strength to continue to live life to the fullest in the absence of such an amazing person. Thank you for everything. rip jks<3

Not a day or a few hours goes by where I don't think of Stang and try to make sense of why this had to happen to such a beautiful person. They say time heals pain, but as the months pass it is actually harder and it hurts more to know that he is not here with us. I go on with my life knowing that Stang is resting peacefully, and is watching over us and knowing that one day I will see him again in a better place. I pray for each of us and Kyle everyday.. I love you Stang

April 17, 2004

Stang- i still can't accept the fact that you are gone and i won't get to see you friendly smile in the halls or receive one of your reputable bear hugs.. life has changed completely without you in our lives and not one day goes by when we don't think of you and the good times we've spent with you. I know you're in a better place smiling down on all of us. I will always love you and cherish the times i've been lucky enough to share with you. <3

*I wish that I could touch you now, I wish that I could hold you now, I wish that I could talk to you, be with you somehow.. I know your in a better place, even though I can't see your face, I know your shining down on me..saying everythings ok*

Sometimes a few days go by and I manage not to cry. But by that 4th or 5th day i just can't do it anymore, i just cant pretend your still here. Its impossible to act as though things are the same, because there not, they never will be for anyone. Who will i have to call on a friday night to go out with, or to sleep out with when we both don't feel like going home. Yeah we all still have eachother here....but hey its not the same with stinger. It never will be... RIP Kyle Stang, your my boy.

Kyle,

Nobody will ever understand the loss of someone so incredible. The only way to make sense of it is to realize that you are in a better place, watching over all of us. While your presence is constantly missed, we are all lucky to have gained you as an angel. I know you are watching over all of us. You are with me in my every thought and everything I do you are carried out in. I will always remember your goofy personality, your contagious smile, and your warm bear hugs. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to be friends with you, and am a better person for having you in my life. I miss you so much. Till we meet again...<3

I miss you more than words can say and love you with all my heart<3

Stang,

Words will never be able to describe the pain everyone feels. By everyone, I not only mean those whom you were friends with or your family, but I also speak for those who did not know you personally, yet knew of your wonderful story. Kyle, you left the world world with such amazing memories of a kind, funny, and talented young man. Your death just goes to show that sometimes, the worst things happen to the best people. I want to say thank you for always being a great friend and leaving such a positive influence on so many lives. Your spirit lives on through all of us. I love you and miss you always. RIP

Stang not a day goes by that I don’t think about you. We all miss you so much. Sometimes I half expect to see you in class again or walking down the hallways. I can still hear you voice, your laugh, see your smiling face. It’s been such a tough year and I often wonder why such a terrible thing had to happen to such a great kid. It’s just not right. You will always be remembered.

Stang, its been so tough for so many people without you, there isn't a day where people don't sit and cry and wonder why you had to go. No one knows why yet, and no one will ever know. But I know we have a new gardian angel, and you proved it when you took us to the state title game. We miss you and you're alive in our hearts, forever.

We've all got a new angel watching over us and keeping us safe-- I cannot wait to see you again. <3

I didn't know kyle but my sister did before her and i moved. From what she tells me he was nice and fun to be around, but remember, only the good die young and i always will remember that. i know how it is to lose someone so close to you because it has happened to me. just remember all the good times and forget all the fights and he will be right there in ur heart

The other day, I was cleaning out the children's toy box. I came across a toy dinosaur that has seen better days. It was a well-loved little thing...telling of days being clutched in a little boy's hand, pushed through the sand and water at the beach perhaps; maybe stuffed down into a backpack, waiting to be used at the next play date. I glanced at the bottom of the dinosaur and on it's little feet were marked the initials: JKS. It dawned on me: this was a toy passed down to my son when Kyle outgrew it and moved to Allentown.

It's these little reminders in our every-day lives that spark memories of Kyle and remind us that his spirit will always remain with us.

March 30, 2004

What gets us through the pain of the tragic loss of kyle is the wonderful memories we have all shared with him. Though he is not here with us, it is so important to continue to keep his spirit alive. My thoughts and prayers are with Stang's family and friends always<3

I hope that all is well in heaven... keep an eye on us down here...we're missing you everyday <3 * Til the day we meet again ... in my heart is where i'll keep you, friend *

Man Stang, why'd you have to go....I can remember so much about you and all the times spent with you. Never a dull moment with you bud. Always easy to spot with food and drink in hand, plus the fact you towered above most of the basketball team. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and cry to myself. We all do....its unbelieveable that you were taken from us. Were living it for you Stang. Rest in peace until we meet again, until then watch over us, and we'll never forget you.

I dont even know where to begin talking about Stang. I could share many stories that ive heard or either experienced myself, but instead i would just like to say a few words. I speak for the entire Parkland senior class when i say: we love and miss you Justin Kyle Stang. We think about you where ever we go and whatever we do. You are with us all and please watch over us. I know you can hear us, but we talk about you all the time. You're gone but not forgotten man, we love you. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the extended Stang family along with each of us as well.

Kyle was my cousin and he was the closest cousin i had to my age..though we were two different people..we both shared the same humor and enjoyed each others company...we always had stories to share and jokes to tell..we often saw each other at the beach. the other day i saw a seagull and right away thought of kyle...now whenever i see seagulls, kyle is the first person to jump into my mind, and it is a pleasent reminder of the good times he and i both shared

i love you kyle,

your cousin

kyle was a fairly good friend of mine. i met him in 11th grade at PHS for the first time. he was probably one of the nicer guys around, and having classes with him were just fun. everyday in the morning he would come say what up at my locker...i lost a best friend from whitehall back in september, its a tragic loss for all of us and my deepest sympathy goes to the stangs...

If life were fair things such as Kyle's death wouldn't have happened...but life isnt fair and neither was what happened to the Stang family. Kyle was such a great person, he always made people smile. When he walked down the halls of Parkland Highschool he was so easy to spot, it was hard not to laugh. Kyle had so many friends in all different places, and it is now proven what an impact he made on people's lives.Darlene, John and Katelyn keep strong and know that your son was so amazing and lived as much of a fulfilled life as he possibly could. My deepest regards..

I love you Kyle.

Kyle was an outstanding friend. He went totally out of his way to say HI to people or even to say that his Patriots destroyed our eagles. On team bus rides he always stretched his long legs out on the seat and started to rap a song and lighten the mood. He was a leader on the field and off. I will never forget what a huge impact he had on everyone that knew him. I love you Kyle, Stang family, and relatives.

Dear Darlene, John and Katelyn, thinking of you each day and knowing there are no words or deeds that would adequately express my feelings of sorrow, nor words that can comfort. I am here if needed and know that you have a wonderful support system on stand-by when you need a shoulder, hand, arm or legs. Please know

you are in my prayers, thoughts and heart each and every day. Sharon

I greive with you. Thanks be to God for his loving kindness, his mercy and his peace. I am here for you always and praying for you too. I love you!

Since losing my younger brother Tom almost 17 years ago, nothing has so rocked me and Jane as Kyle's death. In a very personal way, founded on a friendship that began when Jane and Darlene were pre-teens, Kyle became our son, too.

I wish I had a magic elixir to take away pain and sadness, especially for Kyle's heartbroken parents and sister. I don't. If I did I'd be God because I would bring Kyle back, and a promising, worthwhile life would continue and flourish.

It's very hard to take away anything positive from such a senseless loss. Maybe we aren't supposed to. Maybe we just need to let this searing experience remind us that we the living need to love our loved ones intensely, and tell them that we do. And live every day as though it's a gift. Kyle's was a life well lived. I have to think that's how he would have approached this. Wordsworth had it right, "that having been must ever be". Kyle will always be to those who loved him.

Kyle Stang was a remarkable young man who was taken from us so tragically and prematurely at the tender age of 18. It wouldn't be my place to describe the teenager he was or the man he aspired to be as there are those who knew him far better than I. I hope that everyone can share their memories of Kyle and in turn, gain some peace in knowing that sharing will help keep Kyle's spirit alive.

What I do know is that Kyle was a joy to his mother and father from the day he was born--only two months after the death of his Pop Pop, Elmer--in November of 1985. (Continued at:

When children are born we say "Congratulations! Looking forward to your making a difference". Kyle did make a difference.

On my way to say the final goodbye, I saw a rainbow in the usual spectacular colors. My hope and prayer is that Kyle's rainbow will reintroduce the vibrant colors into the lives of the people who loved him and the lives he touched. Until those moments in time, my thoughts and daily prayers are to that end.

I have a son the same age as Kyle who recently wrote in a note, "I am growing up to be the man you taught me to be". It was his way of expressing his love and thanks and I just know that Kyle will be showering you with the same feelings for an eternity. May God, family, and your many friends guide you through this most difficult time.
