We will listen for the flutter of your Wings, so look down at us and see how we all love you.

It's been almost 3 mos. now, i still miss you so much. I try to be there for mom and brent as much as i can. i hold back my pains and emotions so they dont have to see it. but the pain inside my heart for you only grows worse. im not sure if it will ever lighten. i stay up at night when im alone and think of you, the memories we had, the trips we took. but there is one thing i always wanted for us - i wanted you there the day i had a child. i know that would have meant a lot to you and now it will never be. sometimes i dont think i can pull through all of this without you. no one knows how much i miss you. there were so many things we didnt get to do together, and so many things i never had a chance to say. there were some hard decisions you had to make for me, some decisions that enabled me to have a better life. Those decisions were a sacrifice on your part, and i never had a chance to say thank you for doing what you did for me. so ill say it now - thank you. its so weird, knowing that as i sit alone writing this, you will never read it; but i feel like you are reading it. like you are here with me looking over my shoulder, reading the words i type. i wish i could see you one last time, hug you one last time, and tell you i love you one last time. i am thankful i never got a chance to say goodbye to you, because that is one thing i will never say. you were such a part of my life that i could never bring myself to say that to you. i know its still hard for mom, but i think she is getting a little bit better. as for your twin brent, i only wish i could help him more. i know he is doing ok, but he misses you so much. both of you were closer than anyone ive ever seen. i think we are all doing a little better, but there are times when i just feel like this isnt real. like this is some sort of twisted dream and when i wake up you will be there again. im not sure where you are now, if you are still here with us in some way, or if you are in heaven, but keep watch over tabitha. she has been waiting for you, so be with her and let her know we will all join the both of you when the time is right. i love you bryant. ill see you again - one day.

I remember when you and and Brent went to Six Flags with us. We had free tickets and we knew we wanted the twins to go with us. You, Brent, Trudy and Tim were little kids back then, but we had so much fun that day. I will never forget it! I'm sorry you had to leave us so soon. I know you took alot of love with you. You will be missed everyday and you will live in our hearts forever. Aunt Faye.

To my dear cousin,

Though we did not see each other very much, I have memories of when we were younger. I was much younger, and all the pictures and stories my mom has told of you and your brother when you were babies. I wish you all the peace and love, your in a better place now. May angles watch over your brother and your family. May your touch and smile be with them always. I hope in the heavens, with our father there you have been reunited with grandmother, grandaddy, my brother Jason and my sister Melissa, and all our other loved ones. I bet Jason has already given ya big hugss!!!!! You are missed but the love goes on forever. Our time here on earth is only momentary, our footprints are left forever. Our times in each others lives are only for a glimpse it seems, but the memories are for a lifetime! God be with your family! Love you..see you again on the otherside!

Your lil cousin,

My Precious Angel Bryant-Your Aunt Becky is going to miss you. When you and Brent were babies, I was only eight, but I thought you were my babies. I even fed you Hershey's chocolate in a milk bottle, so I am happy you lived through this. Things will not be the same without you Bryant, but this makes me stop and think about how precious life really is and to cherish every moment with Thankfulness. Baby Brent-Be strong and "Hang in There", just as I will, until we can all be together again with grandmother, granddaddy and the rest of our loved ones. Gokie-You are loved and our prayers are with you....Love Forever..Becky

Bryant was a wonderful son, a part of my heart is now missing and the hurt is unbearable. I'm so glad you called me the night before and we talked and laughed and planned our trip to see you grandmother, you were happy and excited. I'll remember the sound of your laugh. You will be with Brent and myself until we pass and we're all together again.

I will forever love you,
