It has been a while since I last saw Tyler. The last time I saw him he just started his first forestry job! I insured him. He was a good guy and you see he had a bright future. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Prayers to all.

Ronnie, Rena and family: I am so sorry for your loss. Sending lots of hugs and prayers to you all.

May God wrap His loving arms around each of you as you travel through this very difficult time. May the wonderful memories of Tyler always stay close to your heart and help you in the days ahead. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
