I never had the chance to meet Tyler, but I feel like I knew him through following your journal and the power of prayer. My husband and children (11, 9 and 5) and I have prayed for him, Diane and Ron since we learned of his sickness. Our hearts break for your loss and words cannot express how sorry we are. I've been touched and challenged by your entries and feel that I can ask even greater things of God as a result of the faith I have witnessed. I am confident that through Tyler's illness, many have been saved, strengthened in their faith and challenged to walk along side one another in brotherly love. May God extend immeasurable peace to you all as you continue honoring him by your faith.
