Richard & Carolyn & Family:
Sending Heartfelt Condolences~~~

Expressing heartfelt sympathy
For the grief you're going though
During your time of sadness
My heart goes out to you

Heartbreak of losing a son
I know you must be asking why
His parting will leave a huge void
He was much too young to die

By cherishing those moments
Of all the times spent together
He's gone but not forgotten
Memories will last forever

It's never easy saying goodbye
After all you had been through
Sending heartfelt condolences
I will always be here for you

I met Tyler throughout friends which he had a large amount of. He was one of those guys that could make me laugh just by hearing him laugh. He was the kind of guy that had a great big heart and will truly be missed. To Tylers family I am very sorry for your loss.
