We're thinking of you at this time of great sorrow. Although no amount of time can prepare you for your loss, and no one can fully understand your pain, our hearts and prayers are with you. We hope you gain the support and strength you need from the loving concern of so many others. Laura,you and your sisters are so much a part of my heart, and now your family is a part of it as well. As your nurse, it was always a joy to help take care of you. Now all I can offer is my deepest love and concern for all of you.

Dearest Brent, Laura and Family,
Although we have not met, I feel as though I know you all. Your dear sister Kim Novi has been a close friend for many years and I learned about your Tyler through her last summer. Since that time, all of you have been in my prayers. I feel your pain and sense of loss since my family endured the same event several years ago with my 6 year old cousin. There is no doubt that Tyler will have a special place in heaven. Take comfort in knowing that he is now at peace. I will
continue to keep you all in my prayers through this very difficult time.

Dear Brent and Laura, This past summer when my son Frank played on "Tyler's Team" at the LaGrange YMCA I would see you and Tyler when his health would permit. After each encounter with him and knowing the nature of his disease,I would walk away somewhat frustrated with the realization there was nothing I could do for your beautiful child.My hands,like your hands,and all human hands can only do so much.God's hands are one of a kind and I know he's in the palm of God's hand with his Tyler's team hat on watching and praying for all those who touched his life.I'm really sorry for your loss and please accept my condolences.God bless and keep the faith.

Dear Brent and Laura, My name is Margie Howard I live in Peotone Ill. with my husband David, my daughter Marissa and our son Ryan who has been battling medulloblastoma for 2 years now, I do not know why God picks our children to teach others how precious life really is. My husband is a truck driver for Gas city and he brought the paper home to me yesterday and said he had to pull over because Tyler's story really touched him what an angel. Our son Ryan has touched so many in his life he is so brave I just wish someday we will have a cure for this horrible disease. Ryan is currently getting his treatments at Hope Childrens Hospital in Oak Lawn Ill. I wanted to let you know that we will pray for all of you and God has another special Angel by his side "Beautiful Tyler"
