Collins, We are sorry to hear about Tylers passing away. I remember when he would come to work for us. He was a good kid. He made Hannah so happy and for that Michelle and I are glad. It will be a glorius day when we will be able to see our loved ones again. For that I am waiting. I am Sorry. At times when the passing of a child you just want to hear I am so Sorry. That is what Michelle and I wanted to hear. It is what brought us the most comfort.
With Love the Besendorfer's

Our favorite memory of Tyler is from Aaronic Priesthood Camp. He would sneak in the kitchen and find the pistachio pudding, and haul it around with him in a bowl. It still makes us smile. This must be the hardest thing you've ever had to do, and we pray for your family to find peace and comfort.
