I grew up with Tyler. I spent alot of time with him. We even had our birthday partys together up to a certin age. People thought we where twins because we looked so much alike. We drifted apart over the years. This i regret, i do not remember the last time i saw tyler but i wish i did. I cared bout him alot, I remember the good times we had together. Awhile just before he died i was talking about haveing our sweet 16 together ( i did not find out he was sick until it was too late) i had had the idea of tyler and me getting together after so many years to have the big 16 together, it never happend
i cant belive he is gone i just wish i could have seen him one more time. I wish i knew he was sick before he died so i could at least contact him and tell him i hope he gets better.
And in a sense he is better living amung the clouds forever and ever he is better in heaven then he was, sick on earth tyler will forever be in my heart R.I.P

Dear Cyr Family,
I just heard about your loss and I can't express how sorry I am for your loss. I wish I could have been there to say it in person but as I said I just heard about it now.
Please know that you'll be always in my prayers and that Tyler has gone on to a better place.

Dear Cyr Family,

I can't say I knew Tyler, and I can't say I ever knew what he looked like. I don't know the color of his hair, or what he was like. But when I look in all of my friends profiles and see his name with hearts and saying how much everyone loves him and misses him, I know he must of been amazing. My brother went to middle school with him, and said he was a really nice kid. I can only imagine what he was really like, and I can only begin to look forward on the impact people will start to realize he had on them. I'm sorry for your loss, and I know that Tyler will be missed very much, but mostly remembered for his amazing personality and accomplishments.

Sincerely,
Jessica

David and I just heard about Tyler. We both remember him so well and I do especially, since he was in my 4th grade classroom at McCarthy. We are so saddened to hear the awful news and so happy to hear what a wonderful child he continued to be. Please accept our deepest sympathies.

As a parent of two, my heart is hurting for you all. Please know he is an angel above in gods hugs waiting to see you again. Your an inspiration as I read Tylers journal: I did tell my children your story and i hugged them a bit longer today. My hugs are w/ Tyler too. Sorry you had to endure what you have. But it sounds like your son was a special person by age 15,he lived like some never do by 80! His memory lives on even in us who have never had the joy of meeting him. He was every parents wish, you should be proud!
Sincerely,
A caring Parent;

May God's love be with you!
We don't know each other, however, something possesed me to read your journal. I felt your helplessness, sorrow and pain. My heart hurts for your family. Tyler left you with his courageous spirit ... may you find solace and joy in all your fond memories of Tyler.
Tyler is the "teen-angel" that God needed in heaven for St. Valentine's Day.

It is so shocking and I am sorry for your loss. My cousin's story is the same. Stomach ache and then it was a whirlwind of events. Just always remember the good times and always cherrish the times you had. Words cant explain the sympathy I have for your family.

My thoughts are w/you. I don't even know any of you. Read your story on caringbrigdge. My nephew at 18 went thru the same thing, on the same floor. I understand the loss, and grief- but he was at the best place in the world. I go in every Saturday to hold babies- and I will drop something off in memory of your son.-
God understands our prayers even when we can't find the words to say them.

Dear Kelly, Rene, Kayleigh: You don't know our Family well, however, back at superbowl 2001 you came to our house with T.C. and her family and our kids spent the entire day and into the night sledding down the hill in my back yard. When I told Sal & Hannah of your loss, it was the first thing they both said they remembered. They said it was the "most fun they ever had sledding that day." A one time encounter with Tyler gave them a memory that they will always have.
God Bless you all, you are all in our prayers, Butch, Elaine, Sal & Hannah.

To Tyler's family, I am truly sorry for your loss. I work as an instructer for the Karate school that Tyler attended. I remember him as a great kid who always tried hard and was very friendly with the other kids.
I'm sure he'll be missed terribly.
