Good morning, Bryan. I love you! There hasn't been one day over the last 20 years that I haven't missed you with my whole heart, but you know that. :) You have sent me many subtle signs to let me know that you are okay and a few big signs that I revisit often...especially when doubt and fear take over my thoughts. Please be with your brothers and their families today. Show them some signs to comfort them today... We know God's grace and love have brought us to this day. We miss you! Until we are all together again, we will continue to look for those signs. Love Mom

Hi Bryan. I'm thinking of you today and thanking God that I am your mom! He blessed me with 4 awesome sons. I miss you so much. I love you with all my heart. I'll keep it short, because I know you know how much I love you. :)

Hi Bryan. I say the same things every time I write. I love you and I miss you every day. Eighteen years is a long time. I was thinking today, how all the grandkids bring joy back to my life, but they aren't you. I see Kennedy in the crib looking up and talking like she is talking to someone and I hope in my heart that it is you and G'pop. She was here this weekend and pointed to your picture over and over again. I choose to believe that she can see you both. :)
Watch over us and continue to let us know that you are always around. The 88 on C&J's new car was really nice. Chris was so happy. Thanks!
I don't write as often as I'd like, but we do talk. ;)
I love you so much. Always will. Mom

Bryan-
We think of you often, esp. on your birthdays and your upcoming Transition Day anniversary. I can "see" the handsome young man you are becoming in Spirit and continue to pray for your development, with gratitude for all the blessings you continue to bring your loved ones still here in the physical. With love and hugs for you and for your grandad as well,
-A&B

Hi Bryan. It´s Mother´s Day and I always miss you so much today! Thursday was an emotional day for me. I had periods of sobbing and a general feeling of blah. I didn´t really understand why until Dad said Mother´s Day was coming up. Then I knew why. And God used me to send a message to the moms I worked with in the support group to remind them not to fight the wave when it hits and to get back up when it´s gone. I guess it´s all part of God´s plan. I love you sweetie and I miss you so much! Come visit me in my dreams...
Give grandpop a hug for me. I miss him too.
Stay close. Send signs to all of us.
Love always, Mom

I am sorry I late in posting. I still think of you as a little boy of 12 with that beautiful smile. Then I look at Justin and I wonder. Sending you Heavenly " late" 30 birthday wishes. I feel you are a very special Angel and a guardian of many. Hopefully you hear my prayers.

Happy Birthday, Sweetie!
It's so hard to believe that you would be 30 today, and harder to believe that you have been away from us for 18 years. :(
I know you are around us all the time and we talk to you every day, but it isn't the same as seeing, hearing and hugging you. The happiest time of my life was the 12+ years after your birth. I thank God for that blessing.
Thank you for watching over us and praying for us. Dad and I miss you so much! And we love you so much more than that!

Bryan,
I miss you! I love you!
I know I always say the same thing when I write, but I sit here and I love you and I miss you are all that come out. It seems useless to type anything else.
I know you know we miss and love you and typing it isn't necessary...I just feel I let you down if I don't. :(
All my love,

Bryan,
It's Mother's Day and I miss you so much. I miss your smile, your laughter, your hugs...and so much more. Thank you for the beautiful sunrise this morning!
Can you help me to make good choices for UP and G'mom? The stress is getting to me. :( I know you are always around us, but it sure would be nice to have a visit. Bring G'pop. :) It would sure help my stress level! I love you, Sweetie. I know you know what's in my heart. XOXO

Happy Birthday Bryan! We miss you so much! It is a snowy February...just how you liked it. Snow day birthday present. :) I will watch the snow today and remember 29 years ago how you completed our family and brought so much love, humor and joy in 12 short years to last us all a lifetime. We love you today and always!
The other day I looked at Michelle's daughter and saw you! It took my breath away. Then I watched her...and her personality is so much like yours. It made me smile. Michelle said she has always seen it. :)
Thank you for your prayers for Uncle Pete. Please keep them coming.
I love you and miss you so much. There are no words...only feelings and I hope you can feel them. Thanks for the signs and keep them coming, too. They are a big comfort to me. Love you always!

Well, Bryan, Christmas has come and gone and gone again. You were missed, as always. Holidays are just not the same without you. We have to make the best them...that is what I tell the other moms like me. Find peace and love in the memories of Christmases past. Dad and I spent most of the day alone, as did almost everyone this year, and we did talk about how much fun Christmas was when you were here. :)
This world seems crazy right now. I'll take any and all signs I can from you! I love you, Sweetie, always.

Good morning, Bryan. It's been 16 years and I still can't believe it. You know, 40 years ago, today was the happiest day of my life. Dad and I got married and our hearts were filled with love and hope. We were blessed with 4 great sons and we were so happy. Then 16 years ago, today became the worst day of my life. Dad and I miss you SO much! But you know that. ;) I know I wouldn't have survived losing you if it wasn't for Dad. If I was the rock for your brothers, Dad was my rock. Today we are going to try to focus on the love that brought us YOU, instead of all the "I wonder whats." I am sorry that you did not get to have your own love story with someone. I'm hoping Heaven makes up for that. I love you, Bryan...more than my words can express. Maybe you can tell from all the tears over the years. You are loved; you are missed; you were wanted so much! Please come visit me. Bring Grandpop, too. I love you both.
Mom

Hi Bryan. 15 years. It's so hard to believe I haven't hugged you or heard your laugh in so long. I miss you. We are in Williamsburg for your angel anniversary. When we take Brycen and Ethan to water country and Busch Gardens I will be remembering the last time we were there with you. You boys had so much fun and Dad and I enjoyed watching you!! Come visit please. I love you.

Heaven gained a special angel on this day. Heavens gain is our loss. I know you must be doing good things up there. God has a plan and we do not get to like it. Someday we will know . I am sure you are keeping a close eye on your family. I feel your spirit every time I am with your Mom♥. Hugs Bryan♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Hi Bryan! I hope you know that, although I don't write as often as I want to, you are ALWAYS in my thoughts. This past month was tough. I really hate MAY. I think I cried more days in May than I have in the last six months. :( It was really rough and I'm glad it's over, but I do want to thank you for those two amazing gifts! I can't tell you how long I had been looking for that one...and then to see that other one later that night...well, I knew you had been listening to me all month. They were the best birthday gifts I could have gotten, especially since you've been gone. I love you, Bryan. Always will. I miss you so much.
Love,
Mom

Happy 27th Birthday Bryan! Its been years since I wrote on here, but Im always thinking about you. Hope heaven throws a big one for you today!
February 18, 2019
Twenty-seven years ago today (almost to the minute as I write this) God blessed us with you! You completed our family and Dad and I were so very happy! We haven't been that happy since. It's a different kind of happy or joy since you've been gone...not a complete happy. It's hard to explain. Just know that we love you and miss you more than words can say. You are still an important part of our family and always will be.
Happy Birthday, Bryan!
We love you,
Mom & Dad

Hi Bryan. Another Christmas holiday without you has come and gone. You have 2 nephews now that help make the time a bit more joyful. It is bittersweet because we all wish YOU could know them and they could know you (and Grandpop.) I try to picture you both with them, but then I get teary-eyed. Brycen wears your old red hat out in the snow. Again, tears, but I imagine that you are with him.
This is not the life I had prayed for. It makes me question...
I love you kiddo. I miss you more than I let on.
Mom

Sorry I am a day late. Your Mom knows how much I think of you and your family. I hope you have opportunity to meet my Mom. Justin asked her to visit with you right before she went to heaven. She always loved boys. She knows your family's pain. Perhaps you have met my brother, Kevin. Quite the funny character and quiet too.
You hold the secret of how beautiful heaven is. It has to be with Angel like you♥
August 1, 2018
Hi Bryan.
I miss you so much! Since losing you 14 years ago, life just hasn't been the same for any of us, but especially Chris. He could use your prayers. :)
You have 2 wonderful nephews. It breaks my heart that they will only know you through stories. That isn't how it was supposed to be. :(
Mike is getting married in 2 weeks and again I ask God why? You should have been at Joe's wedding and now at Mike's. It's just not right.
I'm sorry I seem so bitter tonight. I just miss you and love you so very much and I wish with all my heart that you were here. We all do.
Please let us know that you are around.
Love always,
Mom
May 14, 2018
Hi Bryan,
Is this what happens? The longer you are gone the less I write? :(
Thank you for my quick Mother's Day call. I try to stay busy so that I don't have too much time to think...I miss you so much. I know you've been busy, too. Our little corner of heaven is getting a little crowded. :) I know you and G'pop were happy to see Aunt Katy and Mr. Joe and I hope you gave Justin's Mom Mom a big hug when she stopped by to see you! (If you could mention all of this the next time you call that would be wonderful.)
Well, I'm off to take G'mom to say goodbye to Mr. Joe. I love you and G'pop very much and hope you will watch over us today and keep us safe.
Love and hugs, always,
Mom

Happy Birthday Bryan!
Twenty-six years ago my life seemed perfect. I felt so blessed that my family was complete with your birth. Dad and I were so happy and eager to face the future with our four boys. We enjoyed watching you all grow.
You brought us so much joy and pride. I'm sure you know that, but I need to say it. You seemed so much wiser than your age...
We miss you so very much. We look at your brothers and wonder who you would look like. We wonder what you would be doing, who you'd be dating and how life would be different. :(
We love you.
We miss you.
We hope you know just how much.
Love,
Mom and Dad

Hi Bryan,
I know it has been a while, your nephew keeps me busy--and tired! I knew it would be hard for me to find time to write here so I put a note in your stocking on Christmas Eve. Every day is hard, but the holidays are harder...not as everything is happening, but in the quiet moments in between. The holidays are hard for Chris, too. Please let him know that you are always there with him. He misses you more than he lets on. The family picture is terribly hard for me! This year Joe and Casey were in Florida for Christmas so we celebrated when they came home. G'mom came too. When it was time to take the picture, I wished you and G'pop could have been with us too. I held that picture of you both at Wildwood. I usually keep that in my car, but it is in the shop. I miss you both but I am glad you have each other.
I love you Bryan. So very much! I miss you, too. I turned some of your t-shirts into pillows so now I can pretend I'm hugging you. It's not the same, but it will have to do until we are together again.
I'm praying 2018 will be a good year for all of us. Could you and G'pop add a little prayer, too?! ;) There are some good things planned, like a new nephew and a wedding, which will be a little hard for your mom. You know what I'm talking about. I talk to you and G'pop all the time. I just hope you listen better this year!
I love you, honey. Always!
Mom

Bryan,
Halloween has come and gone and I can't tell you how often I thought of you that day. I smile when I remember how you asked me if I could make you a ZZ Top costume...in 2 days! :) I loved that you loved Halloween. I just don't like it too much now. I like seeing the princesses and the super heroes, but all the death and dying stuff upsets me still.
I don't write too much anymore, and I'm really sorry. I miss you so much, but I talk to you every day. I now write to other moms going through this same crap. I use your stories and signs to try to help them through the hurt. Please know that I love you and miss you so much...even if I don't write as often.
Brycen keeps me busy. :) He knows his Uncle Bryan in pictures. :) That makes me happy. Not as happy as if you were here in person, though.
Well, I'm beginning to cry so I will end here. I love and miss you so, so much!
Mom

July 30, 2017
Hey Bryan...It's almost been 13 years since you left us. Dad and I will be on the road on that day--by ourselves and with memories of you. All these years have not eroded our love for you--we miss and love you more than we can say. Please let us know that you are with us. Those signs and "phone calls" mean so much to us. They help us survive.
I want to write so much more, but it's hard and I can't. I'll just pray that you know. Give G'Pop a hug and kiss for me. I miss him too.
I love you, always,
Mom
February 18, 2017
Happy 25th Birthday, Bryan! I so miss you! I see your brothers and know the kind of man you would be...I just wish with all my heart that you were here. :(
Dad and I love you very much. Mike got engaged last weekend and we know we will have to go through another wedding without you. It doesn't seem fair, but we know with each day, we are closer to being together again. Until then, please remember how much we love you; how much you are missed; watch over us; and show us many, many signs!
I love you Bryan.

Hi Bryan! I'm sorry it is after Christmas and I'm just getting to write you. :(
This Christmas came up on me quickly. I tried to get some of your 'excitement for the holidays' back because of Brycen. I think I did OK. It was hard. It was almost a perfect 1st Christmas for Brycen except that his Uncle Bryan and Pop Pop weren't here. You both were missed very much, as always. Please watch over us...send us signs as often as you can!
We love you!
Mom
November 24, 2016
Hi Bryan! It's Thanksgiving and although it still hurts that you are not here with us, I am so grateful that I got to be your mom! I love you so much, Bryan and I miss you more than words can say.

Love you,

August 2, 2016
Bryan,
Well the dreaded anniversary of you being gone as long as you were here has arrived. I'm not sure what I feel...I guess God had it planned this way. The last five months were spent renovating and finally moving into our house that I'm too exhausted to feel much. Do you hear me when I talk to you? Please answer me! I miss you so very much! I wish I could go back to when you were here. I love you Bryan.
May 28, 2016
Bryan,
I don't know why I miss you so much on MY birthday...but I do! I thank you (and God) for having made my Happy Birthday Mom sign in 2004. It has brought me smiles and tears each year since. I treasure it!
I wish you and Grandpop would send more signs and visit me!! That is my birthday wish!!
I love you and miss you so much.

Happy Easter, Bryan! Today is supposed to be a joyful and hopeful day, but I seem to ride a roller coaster today more than any other holiday. My head and my faith always win out, but the day is filled with ups and downs due to my heart. I miss you and G'pop very much! We can feel and see the empty spots today and especially during the egg activities. I can hear your voice and your giggle. I can hear G'pop saying 'I don't care if I do get sick' as he eats yet another chocolate bunny. All good memories. How we wish you both were here to make new ones.
Please let us know you are with us today. Send signs to help ease the pain. We all love you very much.
Hugs,

Thinking of you Bryan on your 24th Birrhday. I pray everyday is a celebration in heaven. The sun was so bright today it made me think of you and brought a smile on my face.
February 18, 2016
Well, Happy 24th b'day Bryan! I sure do miss you. You'll have to get a b'day hug from g'pop. :) Every time your b'day comes around I always wonder what you'd be doing if things were different. Would you and Chris still be playing music? Where would you be working? Living? Who would you be seeing? How excited would you be to be 'Uncle Bryan' this summer? You are so missed and loved even more. I try to find comfort in the people we have helped since losing you. I wish it could be more, but it is a personal thing, and everyone grieves in their own way. Oh, what I'd give to spend another day with you! To feel you...to hear you...Please come visit me. Bring g'pop too. I miss him as well. And, please watch over your brothers and Casey. Keep them all safe. They miss you too.
Hugs and kisses ALWAYS,
Mom
December 25, 2015
Merry Christmas, Bryan!
Daddy and I try real hard to make Christmas what it used to be, but there is no way (your brothers have told us so) that it could ever be the same. No matter how hard we try, you are still missing and it is very obvious. I knew Dad and I felt that way, and we noticed that Chris always seemed to be in a bad mood around the holidays, but this year he told us that he doesn't like Christmas. His 'best friend' is gone and it will never be the same. I hurt for me and more so for Chris! He did say that maybe when Joe and Casey have their baby that some joy might come back, but we'll see. Please let him know that you are still with him! Send him signs, make sure he sees them! He misses you so very much! His Christmas present to you every year is a donation to St. Jude's. I know you are happy about that. Please let us know you are here today. Give G'pop a hug and kiss for me!
We love you so much. We miss you so much--every day, but holidays are just harder.
Until we are all together again,
you have my heart, Mom

! We all hope for the best outcome! Blessings to you in all you seek to become! We luv ya, Bryan!
August 2, 2015
Hey Bryan. It is so hard to believe that you left us 11 years ago. I'm staring at the screen, crying. I don't know what else to say. I miss you so much. But I say that every time I write. I love you so much, but I say that too. I guess I really want to hear you say, 'I know, Mom, and I love you too!' I hurt, Bryan. It's a wound that never heals. It scabs for most of the year, but there are days that make the scab break off and the bleeding starts all over again. Today is one of those days, but I thank God every day isn't this hard.
We got back from Nashville today. You would have loved the city! Music was everywhere!! It was bittersweet, as usual, but you were in our hearts with everything we did. We missed you so much. And today, family and friends remembered with calls and texts that I felt your hugs and God's love.
Well, it has been a very long day and I'm tired. Crying does that to you. :) Come visit; send signs; let me know that you and g'pop are having fun and it will help me on these hard days. I try to remember that each day brings me closer to you. :)
All my love, Bryan!
Mom

Hi Bryan! Today is Mother's Day and I really miss you!! As I write this, tears fill my eyes remembering how excited you were to help bring me breakfast in bed. This is always a hard day for me. I know you know what's been going on that has kept me from writing, but you haven always been in my thoughts and my heart. I love you so much Bryan! Until we are all together again, please watch over your brothers and Casey.
I'll be looking for my hello today! I love and miss you so much.

Well Bryan, today you would have turned 23 and we would have all celebrated with you! I'm going to allow myself to spend some 'what if' time today. It is our day. Always. I miss you very much-every day, but more so today. Please remember how much I love you! Please talk to me today. I really need to hear from you. I miss you so much!!
Say hi to G'pop for me!
Love,
Mom
December 28, 2014
Hi Bryan. You were really missed on Christmas, as always. Thanks for the call the night before and for letting me know you were right there with me at breakfast! Sometimes it makes it easier, but sometimes it just intensifies the fact that you aren't there. I'd still rather have the signs! :) Hey Bry, you can see the whole picture where we are still left to wonder...can you send us signs that things will be okay? Please watch over the boys this NYE and keep them safe. Please give g'pop a hug for me and ask him to be with g'mom as she starts this new round of chemo. She could use a few signs, too. :)
Some day, Bryan. Someday we will all be together again and my heart will be healed.
I love you very much!
I miss you every day!

Hey Bry,
I've been thinking a lot about you the past few days. I was thinking about the book your mom gave me as my graduation gift and couldn't help but cry. The sweet notes and advice she left me throughout the book just stopped me in my tracks. With all the stress of work and life, sometimes you lose sight of what's really important. With the holiday season right around the corner make sure you send us some signs. I know you're up there watching the craziness of my first year of teaching unfold and I know you're sending patience my way :) Your messages help get me through those long days!
Love ya bud, miss ya everyday.
October 29, 2014
Hey Bryan. It is almost Halloween and I'm missing you so much. We'd be going crazy making your costume... :) I'd give anything to be doing that again. :( I just needed to say hi and that I love you and miss you. This time of year is tough. Please send signs! 'Call' when you can.
My love always,
Mom

Bryan,
We have noticed your connection to the Orioles! :) Your number 8 has been a lucky number for the team. (8 runs in the 8th inning in game 1 and an 8th inning rally in game 2) We know you and G'pop are doing your own Oriole Magic in heaven! Keep it up! We love and miss you both SO much!!
Love always,

Bryan-
You were a very busy fella last weekend, visiting so many and leaving your "8" calling cards everywhere! I had never seen a lic. plate with 5 8's, another 2 plates with 4 8's each, and even in Belgium, so many 8's. We love you, miss you and always appreciate the smiles we enjoy seeing your calling cards. Hugs and love to you and to Matty ! G'pop is here now, as you know. Thx for helping with this transition. Thx for keeping in touch! -A

Bryan
Sorry I am late letting you know that we were thinking of you. I know you know we were. I was away from a computer all weekend. Mr Joe and I saw a floor totally made from pennies. I wanted to count them, but it was a bathroom in a veterans store.. Something told me it might have had an 8 involved. My first thought was 8000:) I touch them and I thought of you and smiled. It was such a surprise to see. Some of them some were bright and shiny just like your smile.
Thinking of you and your wonderful family.

Bryan,
Thirty-four years ago today was the happiest day of my life. Ten years ago today my life sadly changed forever! Unfortunately, the memories of losing you come back faster than my wedding memories. Daddy and I had big dreams when we got married, but when you have kids those dreams change--and we were happy to have them change. Our lives revolved around you boys. And we LOVED it. Ten years ago when you left, it really messed us up. We are still trying to 'recover' and wonder just how we got to today. We miss you Bryan--so very much. So much has happened these last ten years. I know you can see, but I can't help but wonder how different these years would have been. I wonder what you'd be doing; who you'd be with; and what your goals would be. I know you would still be as kind, loving and thoughtful as you were back then and I miss you even more. I miss how we could just look at each other and feel the love we shared. I miss your hugs. I miss your smile. I miss the sound of your voice. Daddy and I look forward to the day we can be together again, but until then we are happy you have g'pop with you. Give him a hug for me. I miss him, too. Please let the boys know that you are with them today. They miss you. I worry about them still. Especially Chris. Please let them all know that you are always close. Send lots of signs! We all need them.
Mrs. S reminds me all the time how happy you are and how wonderful it is in Heaven with God. God bless her for that. I envy her faith and am grateful for all of her prayers. She tells me I wouldn't want you to leave such an awesome place. I tell myself she's right...this world seems so scary. So I try to imagine when we will all be together again. It is hard. But someday I won't have to imagine.
I love you, Bryan. We love you! And we miss you more every day. As Uncle C says 'we will never forget.' We will never forget how you impacted our lives--the joy, the laughter, your kindness, your enthusiasm, your ability to laugh at yourself, your love for others--you set the bar high.
Oh Bryan, I can't see the screen anymore. My tears have been falling since I've started--I hope there aren't too many mistakes. I can't go back and reread it. I'm sorry. I still hurt that you aren't here with us. I still get angry especially when I see other families take their kids for granted or not want to spend time with them. I LOVED when you were all home. I treasure those memories until I can have the real thing again.
I love you!
Mom

Bryan,
Thank you for my birthday gift last night. It was the perfect way to end my day. :) I miss you and love you very, very much. I hope you know that.
Get a hug from G'pop from me.
Love you guys,
Mom

Good morning Bryan! It's Mother's Day and I'm thinking about all the wonderful Mother's Days when I had all four of you here to help me celebrate! I miss you so much. Every day is hard, but these special days are the worst. Thanks for the hug the other day. I wish it could be real...but I'll take whatever I can get. Keep those 888 coming my way. I love you, Bryan. G'pop and Nancy will give you hugs for me-I love you!
Love you, Mom
April 9, 2014
Hi Bryan! Give G'pop a big birthday hug for me and let us know that you are around today, please! I miss you and G'pop very much, but I know you are together and that comforts me. I think about all the times you spent together here and I smile! Those are happy memories.
I miss you so much, Bryan. Some days loving you and missing you hurts more than I can take--even now. Please pray for us.
Keep sending signs. We all need them.
All my love,
Mom

Happy Birthday Bryan. I can't believe it has been 18 years since you were in my Tiny Tots. My third little Palmer. What a wonderful family you have.I still use the little wooden pumpkin you gave me for Halloween that year! It has your name on the bottom of it. I can still see your great smile.

Happy 22nd Birthday Bryan. You are forever in our hearts.
February 18, 2014
Happy Birthday, Bryan!!!! What a very handsome young man I'm sure you are today in heaven. I picture you as I saw you in one of my dreams. Your hair is very dark, like Joe's. Tall and very handsome! I can see you smiling right now as I say this and I can feel you putting your arms around me and giving me a kiss. It feels so good, sweetheart. I love you very much! I miss you very much! Happy, happy birthday! Give grandpop a big hug and kiss for me! Ask him to give you one back from me to you! Be happy, you and grandpop! I love you both and miss you both sooooooooooo much!!
Always in my heart. grandmom
February 18, 2014
Wow! You would have been 22 today. I wonder who you'd look like? What you'd be doing? Who you'd be dating? and so many other questions. :(
Today, Bryan, I'm going to remember the 12 birthdays we got to share with you. The big family celebrations with Joe, Zack, Uncle Matty and Uncle Dave. We never had less than 5 cakes! I remember the sleep-overs with your buddies, Albert, Shane, Michael and Randy. Those are happy memories. I love you and miss you so much every day, but today the pain in my heart feels a bit more sharp. I hope G'pop and you will let us know you are around today--we will watch a Farley movie and remember...your giggle, laugh and love.
I miss you, Bryan.
My love,
Mom

Bryan,
It's been another month without you and today is another super bowl with out you. I really do miss you and G'pop more on this day. :( You already know who will win--and I don't really care who wins, I just know watching the game isn't the same without you guys. February is always tough because it is your birthday month. Please be with us all!
Joe is doing an awesome job as president of the foundation. He has some great plans--I'm praying this is what God wants us to do and He lets it all come together.
I miss you, Bry. I wish I could see you, hug you and hear you! Seems like forever ago and forever to come. Waiting is so hard. Please, please send signs and say hello!
My love always,
Mom

Hi Sweetie! It is Christmas Eve and I'm missing you so much. Your pictures surround me, but that is NOT how I want it. I can't have what I want for Christmas, but a visit from you or a dream of you would be the next best thing. I love you, Bryan. So much so that missing you hurts so much. Help me Bry.
I hope you and G'pop have an awesome Christmas with Jesus. Don't forget us down here.
Love you always,
Mom

Hi Bryan! It's another Thanksgiving without you and you will be sorely missed as we get together at G'mom's tomorrow. We treasure the 12 years of memories we have, but they are not enough. Thanks for the musical signs today! My ride to work was awesome! I'll be looking for a few tomorrow. I love you, Bryan! I miss you so much. Get a hug from G'pop for me--until we are together again.
Love always,
Mom

Hi Sweetheart,
Another 2nd of the month. Ironic that both you and grandpop would leave us on the 2nd of the month but then you are 2 of a kind. I love you both so much. We miss you Bryan, my mind always goes back to the haircut you got when I took you and Chris together to get your haircuts. I felt so bad but you were so good about it, now I kind of chuckle but I do still feel kinda bad, but in a good way. It's a great memory, just like all my memories of you. I miss you, Bryan and I love you so much! Give grandpop a Big hug and kiss for me and tell him I love him also. Be happy and stay close. I love you now and forever.

Hi Bryan!
Today is Halloween and I'm missing you so much! I miss your last minute costume requests and how much you enjoyed going out with your brothers and cousins. I have wonderful memories of Halloween past...I just don't care for Halloween now.
You are so missed and very much loved.
Stay close!!
Love, Mom

Hi Sweetie!
You and G'pop have been in my thoughts so much lately. We miss you very much! Thanks for letting G'mom know you were with us last night. Today will be difficult for her...It would have been her 59th anniversary! Please help her remember all the wonderful times and keep her sorrow to a minimum. Let her know that you both are there with her.
I love you Bryan! After all this time-I NEVER thought I'd survive this long-I still hurt; I still cry; I still can't believe; the waves still come crashing, just not as frequently as before.
Thank you for helping me to get back in touch with Meg! I know you and G'pop had a big hand in that. It was just to 'orchestrated' to be anything else! Thanks for being with Chris, too.
He's going to need you and G'pop a lot these next three years. :)
I love you! I miss you so much! Keep close and continue to let us know you are here.
Love,
Mom

Hi Bryan!
We thought about you and G'pop all day yesterday. Thanks for the brief hello from Mags just before we went to bed. I need to hear from you again!
We continue to miss your smile, humor and your hugs. I love you very much, Bryan!
Give G'pop a big hug for me. I miss him and love him, too!
Love,
Mom

Bryan,
Today was one of the sadist days for your friends and family here on earth. I would like to think it was a happy day in heaven. Your short life has touched so many people. As the sun shines on this beautiful day I am going to think of your smile. XOXO
August 1, 2013
Well, Bryan. It is August 2nd again. Another year has come and gone without you. Nine years. How did I get here? How have we lived 9 years without you!?! I don't know. I know it still hurts. I know it sometimes seems like just yesterday, and other times it seems like a lifetime ago. My heart still aches--and I'm so afraid of forgetting. I don't want to forget! I look at your pictures and think...were you really here? I'm so sorry, Bryan. I feel like I let you down. I thought my prayers would keep you safe. I thought my love would protect you. I couldn't love you more! Please forgive me. I love you and I miss you so much.
We all do. Please continue to send us signs and use the phone. We LOVE hearing from you. We NEED to hear from you. You tell G'pop that I'm waiting to hear from him. I told him to come see me. You can too. Please.
Hugs...Mom
July 2, 2013
Hi Bryan. Another second of the month and I'm missing you. Nothing new there. I find some comfort in knowing G'pop is with you, but I would rather have you both here with us!
I sure could use a hello from you both.
I love and miss you very much!

Hi Bryan! I missed June 2nd, but we are down a computer and I have to fight Dad to use his! :( I know you understand and are laughing about it. :)
I really missed you and G'pop last weekend. We moved Mike out of his apartment and took the stuff to Bethany for Chris to use in August. Dad found a penny and I found a fishing weight--we knew you and G'pop were there, too. Several people have asked me what I thought YOU would have studied in school--I have been wondering that for a long time. What do I tell them? Can you give me a hint? I know it doesn't matter, but it helps those of us left to imagine.
I miss you so much. It seems to hit me the most in the car. I listen for our songs. Thanks for riding with me.
Love you so much,
Mom

Hi Bryan!
I really miss you today. Thanks for letting me be your mom. I love you!!

Thanks for the pennies yesterday.

Hi Bryan!
I know I missed yesterday, but I was really tired last night. I spent the entire day with G'mom at Hopkins--I know you understand and don't mind. :)
I know you and G'pop are having a blast. We miss you very much, though. I love you and hope you will continue to 'call' and bring us some answers. Thanks for helping so many others, too.
Get a hug from G'pop for me!
I love you!
Mom

Someday...

Hi Sweetie!
It is another second of the month and I'm missing you so much! I know you have G'pop with you now and that helps some, but I miss you both!! I am so grateful that we get a chance to 'talk' and look forward to your 'calls'! Keep them coming.
Easter isn't the same anymore. I miss your laugh and your humor. I wonder who you'd be partnered with for the egg toss and I can just hear the funny things that would come out of your mouth. You and Uncle Tommy would give each other a run for the money! :)
I miss you, Bryan. I love you so much.
Until we are together again,
Love you, Mom

Hi Bryan,
Last night we held the 7th bull roast in your honor. It was an awesome night. We celebrated what would have been your 21st birthday--or as I now refer to it--B'earth day to acknowledge when you were born here. I'm sure heaven uses another date. :)
Sometimes Dad and I think God has forgotten about us--starting back in 2004, but after the bull roasts we realize just how blessed we really are. He has surrounded us with loving and caring family and friends--and we couldn't ask for more...except for you and G'pop to be with us, too. :)
I hope we make you proud with what we are doing and have done. We love and miss you very, very much!
Mom

Happy Birthday Bryan!! You get to celebrate once again with Grandpop. I hope you guys are having lots of fun. I miss you both so much! I love you both so much!! I'm having trouble with my words tonight, Bryan, it's just that I keep thinking back 21 years ago and how different all our lives were. I thank God for that day and the 12 and a half years that you were here with us. The words just won't come tonight, Bryan. All that is in my head is I love you and I miss you. Please exchange hugs and kisses with grandpop, tell him that I love and miss him also, very much! Happy Birthday again, sweetheart!! Always your grandmom and always in my heart! I Love You!
February 18, 2013
Happy Birthday, Bryan! Sure wish you were HERE to share this day with us. Please let G'pop give you a big hug for us. God blessed us 21 years ago. I try to imagine what you would be doing; who you'd be dating; and how you would be celebrating. I wonder if you'd be able to help Chris decide what he wants to do with his life. I know he misses you, his best friend, too. I think THAT hurts me more than me missing you.
It is so hard to believe that you have been gone so long! I miss you so much--and I'm so afraid that I'm forgetting so much about you. Please come visit...call...send your signs. Your mom needs them until we can all be together again. Please ask God to keep your family and friends safe--especially as they all become 21, as well.
I love you, Bryan. So much.

Hi Bryan,
Happy Valentine's day! Did you and grandpop enjoy the chocolate rose? I know grandpop did and I hope you did. I did what you asked me to do. Thanks for all your thank-yous. I'm glad I could do it. I hope you and grandpop are having as much fun together as I think you are. I miss you Bryan and I miss grandpop. I love you both. Hugs and kisses to you both! Love you very much. grandmom

Hi Bryan! It is almost Valentine's Day and I'm missing you a lot! As I was saying my prayers this morning I realized that you were the last man in my life and G'pop was the first man in my life and now you are together. My first Valentine and my last Valentine. I miss you very much. I'm glad you have G'pop but I can't wait until I can join you! The waiting is the hardest part. :)
Love you kiddo!
