Not sure what to say?

I know you feel the love for you everyday! You have touched our lives so much and we feel it more than ever. Little things or memories we had with you come out in everyday conversations, and its very weird its almost like you never left. I have to admit I have replayed the day you left us more times than I will ever admit and I wonder "why", but like the song says "Only God Knows Why" and some day you better believe I will ask him, when my time comes. You were and are an Awesome cousin, a...

Hey little bro'. As you know our cousin Nikki joined you and the rest of our family up there yesterday(Jan. 21). Be sure to give her big hugs from all of us and tell her she will be deeply missed and we love her!
Also, please watch over our uncle Kyle as he is in the ICU at Princeton Hospital. He made it through his surgery, but got very sick and is now in the ICU. Thanks for watching over our uncle Frank as he made it through his surgery also and is doing good the last I heard yesterday...

Aaron,
So once again I am here to call upon you to help me through one of the toughest things that I am going through... You know what is going on I know you do I know you look in on me everynow and then I can feel it. Please guide me through this tough time and the decisions that I am going to be making and help me to make the right one. I dont always know what to do and this is one of those times I am not going to go into detail because you know what is going on and there are people that...

Aaron-
Hey there! Thank you for watching over all of us on New Year's. We had Robbie Shore with his girlfriend Tanya, Pat and Tanya with the kids, Brian and Des with the kids, Dad, Rian and his buddy Brian over for our New Year's Eve party. We all had so much fun. We laughed and cried together. We listened and sang really loudly to the cd we had made of songs when you had passed away. Shauna wasn't able to make it as she had to work, also mom and Todd celebrated their three years together...

WISHING YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
As you know I was at your grave yesterday afternoon. I brushed all the snow off you and all your stuff.
Another Christmas gone by without you here, and another year it didn't really feel like Christmas. It is soooo hard not having you here with all of us.
Please watch over Tina as she is having a VERY difficult time right now. So much is going on in her life at one time. When she talks to you, will you let her know some how that you are listening and...

Little Brother,
Well I did write to you on here on December 16, which was your actual birthday, but apparently it didn't go through for some reason. I've had others tell me the same thing happened to them.
I wanted to say thank you for guideing me through the long nearly two hour drive one way, in the nasty cold weather and slippery roads on Tuesday the 16th. I did it, got there and home safely, and I even got my root canal done (as you know how I feel about the dentist).
Me, Mom,...

My little boy,
I was at church today, we sang Chirstmas songs and I started thinking about you and your birthday. It was always so much fun planning this for you. Your special supper, your birthday cake and of course your gifts. We are all making a cake (Brian, Carisa and mom.) and will do a 3 way call and sing you Happy Birthday. I will be shopping for a x-mas wreath and bringing it to you this week. You have a lot of company this year for Christmas with more of the Cherne family joining...

My Brother/My Bestfriend,
We all went camping in memory of you the weekend of August 8 to August 10 (me, john, and our kids went August 6). It was very hard to be there without you, but we all knew that you wouldn't want us to stop going. Cory brought his boat, and took some of us tubing. Dad, Brian, Cory, Robbie, and Pat did some fishing. And of course we all partied hard! As you would have, and wanted us to do! Yep even I did! I know you were laughing and having a good time with all of...

Dear Aaron,
I miss you!! I love you!!
Watch over your family. We are all still hurting and missing you so much! We're going camping this weekend and plan a family supper in your honor. We will celebrate your life and remember the good times and fun we had together. Sleep well Sweet Aaron until we meet again.
