Gwen: I just wanted to express my love to you and family. It's been a year since Tyler passed away. God has reasons for doing everything. There are special people in our lives who never leave us even after they are gone. Tyler is one of these special people. She lives on each day in all of our hearts. Love Granny Coulter

Gwen, I just wanted to send out a special prayer for you during the Holiday Season. I know it's been about 9 months, but seems like yesterday. People tend to move on and forget, but Tyler's spirit was truly angelic and she will NEVER be forgotten....our family thinks of her always and we are so grateful to have been blessed by her presence, spirit,love, and that "million-dollar" smile! Tyler we love and miss you dearly... Natasha, Alexis & Marco

Gwen and Robin,

You both have been in my thoughts since the sudden loss of Tyler from your lives. I know in time the loneliness will get a little better; and you will find comfort in the memories of the special things Tyler said and did while in your presence.

I reflect back to the days when you were carrying Tyler and then when you delievered at the hospital. Tyler was so precious to Robin having a little girl around her home. Your gift to Robin at that time in her life was priceless being Tyler's Godmother.

I would look at you, Tyler and Robin and wondered who Tyler favored the most. But, she had a little bit of both of you in her spirit from what I have read and hear. She was an adorable little girl and I know she is truly missed.

I pray God give you both the strength to comfort one another and cherish the gift of friendship.

Love,

Alicia

To the Mr. and Mrs. Franklin and The Cowan Family:

Words cannot express how I feel even at this very moment. It has been almost 2 months since Tyler's passing, but I still feel like she is right here in my classroom. I was like Tyler's second teacher and she came in my room every day after school from 2:00-2:30. She would walk in with that radiant smile and say, " Are you leaving early today Mrs. Jones?" I would then say, " Come on in Tyler". That was the routine everyday. We hugged and we kissed everyday before she left for Browns Mill Rec. It was just something about that little girl that made me so happy. She was smart and so talented. Her spirit lives on. I will never forget her and she will always be cherished with our third grade class. I do not know how to tell you to heal, all I know is that Tyler is resting with angels and when I think of how she is now glorified with Christ, I feel alright. I know we did not talk much but my class and Ms. Cephus' class are very close. Tyler, I love you and to the family you are always in my prayers.

Gwen,

I'll always be there

In times of trouble and

In times of need.

If you are feeling SAD,

You can count on me.

I will give you a wink

Until you smile,

or give you a hug from across the miles.

I will stand by your side

I'm here till the end,

I'll always and forever, be your friend!

Someone sent me that poem and I found it to be so fitting for our situation right now. Always remember that I am here, no matter where I am, no matter what time of day, I am just a plane ride away. Never hesitate to lean on me, after all what are friends for. Maybe I should rephrase that, you are truly the big sister, that I never had. Remember I love you, and will do anything for you.

Gwen, Baby girl I know what you're feeling now and will feel for years to come. I still miss my daughter LaToya and it's been almost 10 years exactly. It gets better only because you must continue to live on, but the empty voids never leave. After I spoke with you today, I had to let some tears out myself for LaToya and Tyler. Those 2 little girls were my heart. You witnessed what my family went thru with the lost of LaToya, now we go thru it again with the loss of Tyler. None of us understand why so soon, at such a young age. Mother's Day 2004 wasn't the same and we all sat around and remembered how Tyler was here in Charlotte with us and her Godmother last year, but this year she gone home to be with God. Girl you are family to me always. I know all to well what you're feeling and I'm here for you anytime day or night. We agreed to make sure we stay in touch more often and I hope we will. We share lots of memories from over the years, so stay close like family. We love you Baby Girl. Peg is hurting all over again like she did with LaToya. So please keep in mind that we share your pains, all of us.

Tell Rob, to keep his head up, and we are praying for him also. We know how much He loved her and she loved him. Tell him to keep taking good care of you, and we love him to for being so good to Tyler. Tell Moosie we're praying him to.

Hello Gwen,

I just wanted to let you know that I am still praying for you. I love you and always remember that "earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal"

Gwen

Sweetie this is your Godmother Peg. Honey, I know all to well what this feels like and I'm praying that you find comfort and peace in this new life without Tyler. She was truly my Granddaughter, just as you are my Goddaughter. You've been a part of this family for 15/16 years and I will always love you and welcome you with open arms forever. You know Tyler must be up there with LaToya bossing everybody around. Sweet Heart you will cry and mourn for a while to come and that's okay because the baby girl you had has gone home to be with the Lord. Do your best to do the right things even if you fail, get up and do it again.....Then you will hear Tyler say Mommy that's the right thing to do! Ask God to give you the heart that Tyler had. She would tell you when you were right or wrong, so remember that. Gwen you were here with me before, during and after LaToya's Birth and Death so you watch the struggles I had with loosing her. I still miss her each and everyday, but Tyler was so much like her that we felt some since of replacement. Although, no child can ever be replaced, we had the same little spirit in Tyler that we had in LaToya. You have to live your life the way Tyler would have wanted you to do. You were one of LaToya's aunts even when she couldn't day your name correctly. You were Aunt When to her and she loved you and looked forward to you coming home every weekend and would get mad when you didn't spend enough time with her. You know you are one of my Children (My Youngest Daughter) and I love you very much. I want you to know that I am coming to get my Bedroom that Tyler promised me I could have, so be ready to pick me up and we can sit and love on each other. Baby I love you and I want you to know that my children and other family members are praying for you and we hope to see you soon. Come on back up here and let me cook for you, and we can go shopping or just sit and talk. You are a part of the Rushing Family Forever and we will be missing Tyler just as much as you do, she was our baby to.

To Gwen, Robyn,And Family,

There are not enough words in my heart or mind to express the sorrow I feel for loss of this heavenly angel the Lord gave to us for 9 years. She was a gift from heaven above he loaned to us for a while to enjoy her delightful spirit and zest for life. Tyler was smart beyond her years. Her love of life and God touched all the people she came in contact with. That is the thought we all must keep near and dear to our hearts in our daily lives. We must not let Tyler's homegoing be in vain. We must work for God and Tyler and our other loved ones who have gone on before us to see them again. I do not understand God sometimes and the circumstances he put before us to go through. I know he loves us all very much, so much that he gave his only begotten Son, Jesus so that we all may have Eternal Life. I want us all to work harder in our daily lives for the Lord so all may see our Heavely Father and our loved ones again.

Blessings, Love and Peace For Everyone.

Gwen,

I would like to express my deepest sympathy. I am here for you to help in whatever way I can. I am never too busy. I will get your number from Sylvestor.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your insight or understanding.

In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.

Dear Friend(s),
The family of Tyler Chévon Cowan would like to take this
opportunity to thank you for your kindness during our loss. Words
can't express our gratitude for all of the words of encouragement,
flowers, gifts and most of all your prayers. For truly without prayer,
I don't think we could have endured. As our family moves forward,
we realize it won't be easy but we are confident that something
wonderful will rise from our sorrow. Tyler truly was a beautiful and
spirited child and what she has deposited in our lives and in the life of everyone she touched
will live on. In the days ahead we will feel her smile in the warmth of the sun and hear her
laughter wherever loved-ones gather. She will be missed but never forgotten.
In closing, we would like to leave you with a quote from Tyler's favorite poem, which she
spiritedly recited:
"Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise."
Maya Angelou "Still I Rise"
Our Sincere Thanks,
The Family of Tyler Chévon Cowan

April 16, 2004

Tyler, I write to you in this form because I know exactly where your new home is. There's no doubt that you're in your heavenly home. But I cry even as I type this note. Because I miss you so much already. I long for that last tight squeezable hug and kiss on the lips. What's my life about without you to share it with me? You were the 2nd God Given Daughter that I've seen go home to be with the Lord at a very early age, and I pray that I make it to the place where You and LaToya are so that we may be together again, but in a more permanent way. I just knew you would be the one to retire me, you would be the one to call me and ask for money once you became a teenager, You would be the one to take care of me in my elder years.....and on the very same day of your uncles wedding you promised to never leave me. Well, our plans were heavenly interrupted and I am left here without you. Tyler, I really just don't know life without you. You have always been that big apple of my eye. Although, your presence is truly omnipresent all thru my life and my house, I feel alone without you. I truly pray that we will spend our heavenly lives together again someday.

On Saturday March 27th, 2004 I truly became aware of how and why you always seems Wise beyond your years. You lived a fast past life because God knew he had so much turf to cover thru you, in a short period of time. Your missions in life were truly fulfilled. I think it's safe to speak for the vast majority of Adults in this upcoming statement. Sweetie, you lived a life greater and far better than most of us adults around you. Your life will never be in vain. I am forever touched by the very essence of life brought forth on February 9th, 1995.....the moment Your life here on earth was created.

You are and always be Our Baby Girl Forever (AKA, by your Mommy.....Baby Cakes).

God Mommy

To the Family,

I never met Tyler. I live right down the street from her school, and actually planned to be at the Town Hall Meeting on the day of her passing. I saw the segment done on her on the Dekalb County Channel, and just wanted to offer my sympathy and prayers. I work with children, and it was easy to see such goodness in her--even in the brief segment shown of her performance at the Town Hall Meeting. I know that you will miss her tremendously. Everyone laments the loss of a child, any child. I trust that she is in a far better place, and that God will comfort you.

Gwen,

ARE YOU HANGIN IN THERE? I DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE FEELING RIGHT KNOW, BUT I SHARE IN YOUR PAIN. THIS HAS NOT LEFT MY MIND EVERY SINCE I HEARD ABOUT TYLER. MY LIVES ACROSS THE STREET FROM ANITA AND I HAD TO SIGN THE BOOK AGAIN TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I AM STILL THINKING ABOUT YOU AND HOLD ON TO gOD UNCHANGING HAND, AND HE SAID I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU. ASK GOD TO LED AND GUIDE YOU THROUGH THIS DIFFICULT TIME. TYLER WILL BE MISSED, BUT IT IS IN GOD'S HAND WE MAY NOT UNDERSTAND WHY????, BUT HE KNOWS BEST.

Sabrina Copeland

Gwen;

God has only taken possesion of what he loaned to you 9 years ago. You forever have the 9 years of Tyler's life (no one can take away).I can't say that I'm sorry for God's plan, God's plan is not always ours (we both know this was not a part of our plan) but I offer my friendship, my shoulder, heart, but most of all, my prayers to you as it is my personal commitment to make sure that you get through this period in your life. With God's help and his will, you will get through this. I'm always available for whatever you need so don't hesitate to take advatage of that...

Although the road will be rough at times, and as hard as this is, God NEVER puts more on you than you can bare (I'm a witness and you are too even if you can't see it right now).

Keep Smiling, Tyler would love that!

Love Ya!

Sabrina

To all who knew and loved Tyler,

We know not God's plan for us nor the hour when we will all be called home. We need only trust in Him and lean not to our own understanding. Tyler's work was done here and the Lord saw fit to give her rest. You can see from this guest book how much joy she brought to so many. Know that she is at peace with our Heavenly Father, and now has joy and happiness beyond measure. You now have a little angel in Heaven to watch over you. Needless to say that this time will be difficult, but know that God has brought you TO it and He will bring you THROUGH it. I call on Him now to give you a peace beyond all understanding that only He can provide. Take comfort in knowing that you will see your angel Tyler again. You will continually be in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless and keep you during this time.

I had the pleasure of meeting Tyler at a skating party/fundraiser for Big Brothers/Big Sisters. Terri and I were laughing because Tyler and Kaylin looked like two little divas skating. She was a beautiful little girl. I am praying for you and your family. "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you, let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."(John 14:27)

Sharon Essix

April 2, 2004

I don't really know the words to say during this difficult time but I do know that I cannot imagine what you must be feeling if you can even feel at all. I met Tyler in 1998 in Flint, MI and she was like a ray of sunshine always happy and smiling, I will never forget her. My deepest sympathy and prayers are with you and your family.

Emile Stewart

Terrell,

No one knows to the extent of how you really feel. But God knows all things and He is the great comforter. So trust Him even in your loss. Tyler might not be with us in body, but the angels in heaven are rejoicing, because they just inherit a new flower, planted forever as an angel, in God's beautiful garden,specially arranged for her.

We are here for you, just a doorbell away,

Peace, comfort and Blessings,

Always,

Dear Gwen:

Our hearts were sadden when we heard of the untimely death of Tyler. The Harris Memorial COGIC joins us in prayer, knowing that God is able to comfort you in your time of sorrow. Tyler always participated in the Children's Ministry while visiting Sister Tashia. The Bible tells us that absent from the body is present with the Lord. Tyler is with the Lord, and we shall see her again.

Gwen, I'm a upser and I want to send my condolence to you and your family. I'm so sorry for your loss and there are no words that I can say to take that pain away. All I can say is just pray and ask God to continue giving you the strength you need. Your entire family are in my prayers.

Though you may not understand why now, the Lord makes no mistakes.

This precious angel will never be far away.

We may not know you personally, but the lost of a loved one is always sad and even more when they are so young. Continue to have faith and believe that she will never leave you.

May God continue to bless your family in your time of sorrow and always.

This is our prayer.

From the Garrison Family of Flint,MI

(Poo,John,Ali, & Roslyn)Gwen I have known you and your family for many years when you were small and lived on Odette St.,& Marja and I would visit your Mom.

As of today Gwen I want you to

know that "God" does not make mistakes he only takes the best for

his own. I wrote this poem and wanted to share it with you and your

family members that may have lost their children also:

"WHY GOD TAKES CHILDREN"

When God Calls Little Children

To Dwell With Him Above,

We As Mortals Sometime Question

The Wisdom Of His Love.

For No Heartache Compares With,

The Death Of One Young Child,

Who Does So Much To Make Our World,

Seem So Wonderful and Mild.

Perhaps God's Calling

The Children to His Fold,

So He Picks A Rosebud

Before It Can Grow Old.

God Knows How Much We Need Them,

And So He Takes But Few,

To Make The Land Of Heaven

More Beautiful To View.

Believing This Is Difficult

Still Somehow We Must Try,

The Saddest Word Mankind Knows

Will Always Be Good-Bye.

So "Gwen" When A Young One Departs,

We Who Are Left Behind

Must Realize God Loves Children,

And Angels Are Hard To Find...

Psalm 31:24-Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.

Be Strong Gwen, and remember God is good all the time.

BRIAN C JACKSON

April 1, 2004

From: Brian C. Jackson

One of the hardest things to do in the midst of an on going situation is to consider what it will be like when it is history. To see past the difficult present to a better tomorrow is to live with a positive, optimistic faith grounded in hope.

· In the middle of an argument with your spouse, think about that evening planning on sleeping next to him or her.

· When frustrated with your boss, consider how wonderful your weekend is going to be with a couple of days off.
· When battling sickness, think how good you’ll feel with no pain doing something you enjoy in just a few weeks.
· When grieving death, think how good it will be to see them again in heaven.

Hope is a powerful outlook that has a tremendous effect on you. It is through hope that we are able to see something that is not there yet. It is through hope that we are able to anticipate things getting better than they are now. It is through hope that problems and burdens and difficulties don’t get us down, because we see then as temporary and something better is around the corner.

Romans 8:24-25 – “For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.”

I prayed for you today,

BCJ

-Words cannot express how sad I am about the loss of Tyler. Tyler is such a sweet, beautiful, loving and special young lady to our family. Tyler always found a way to make us laugh even when I did not want to. I was looking forward to Tyler coming to Flint this summer to run on our track team again so that I could be enlightened by her beautiful personality. I will always remember the wonderful times we shared together. You will continue to be in our prayers.

Hi Gwen, I know you from being with the Grooms, Gay and Bryant family and I want to say how sorry I am for your lost (your baby) I lost my sister a year ago and there was nothing people could say to make me feel better because I wanted her back, but as I look back on all the things people told me I now know that those people and their thoughts were my strength to move and function foward. Please, Please remain strong for your sake and the sake of family. My prayers will be to give you strength and a cover/shield of piece from your baby girl. My children and I will miss her dearly. Take care (Robin) Rhonda's family.

To Gwen,

I did not know your family, but my cousin works with you and she told me about the tragic loss of your daughter Tyler. Gwen, I know how hard it is to lose a loved one because I lost my niece Lakila over a year ago. But Gwen, keep holding on to God's unchanging hand. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Gwen, I know your heart is broken, but find comfort in knowing that GOD is good. He is in control. Look for him in giving you guidance,calmness, and strength that you need. Alway's remember that "Weeping may endure for a night but Joy comes in the morning" ~Psalms~

Lakila and Tyler are angels forever.

May GOD bless you & your family.

I cannot express the pain I feel for you and your family. I only met Tyler once (at Debbie's) and I marveled at how beautiful and articulate she was. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. The only way to get through something this tragic is to turn to the Lord. He is the true Comforter.

When my sister called me and told me of the accident in her front yard, I began crying. I have lost my brother and my mother, but that does not compare to the loss of a child. Your daughter is in a wonderful place and you will see her again. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family now and throughout the coming days. May God bless each of you.
