Dear Nicole,Rich,Spencer&Delaney,
There is not a day that doesn't go by that I don't think of Tyler and your family. I don't know you but I feel as if I do. All of these wonderful memories that all the people have been leaving are really so touching and heartfelt. I too will always think of Tyler when I see a dragonfly now. Each day I pray for him and your whole family. This is a very tough time for you guys as his 1yr anniversay passes. He was a special boy that has touched the hearts and souls of so many. As he is now an angel in heaven protecting and watching over his Brother Spencer,Sister Delaney and his Mom and Dad too. Please smile as I do when you read all his entries in the Guest book. This is some great and loving little boy. He was quite lucky to come from a great and loving family like yours. All my Love,Hugs, and Kisses to your family. May God Bless you now and always.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your memories with us. We get such joy and comfort from these entries. Please feel free to add to Tyler's guestbook. These thoughts are truly priceless. We will treasure them and share them with both Spencer and Delaney, as yet another way to continue to experience the immeasurable joy that our beloved Tyler brought us.
Love,

Words cannot express the sadness that still haunts my heart over the loss of Tyler. Not a day went by that I didn't check on my Tyler after he left my classroom- he was not only a student to me, but a very special little boy that touched my heart in so many ways. He loved it when I played the Alligator song- especially when he tried to scare me by yelling "boo" at the end of it. He loved playing, he loved art, he loved listening to stories, he loved to laugh, and loved all of his special friends that he made in my class. I remember him trying to convince Spencer how great Kindergarten was so that he wouldn't be nervous about school. I remember walking him down to the buses earlier than all of the other kids so that we could stop and stretch in the hallway. I remember knowing that it wasn't always about his muscles, but rather getting a little bit more attention from me that he liked... and I loved nothing more than to give it to him. I remember the look on his face as he learned to read and write- the look of pride and accomplishment. I remember him dancing around the classroom with Michael and Eddie. I remember covering his face with stickers on his 7th birthday and taking a picture because he looked so cute. I remember missing doing that again on December 13th. I know that Nicole and Rich's worst fear is that Tyler be forgotten. That will never happen. Every time I pass his tree, see a dragonfly, or follow Spencer and, eventually, Delaney through their school careers, Tyler will always be a living memory through them. He left us way too soon, but his memory will last forever. Tyler, your picture will always be in my classroom.

Although I never had the opportunity to meet Tyler, I know he was a very special boy. I had the opportunity to meet Nicole and Rich through a bereavement group we were involved with and through the stories they shared and their very special memories I feel like I knew Tyler. Sharing the same feelings of losing a child with Nicole and Rich, has let us develop a true friendship that I will treasure. May Tyler's eternal spirit help you get through everyday and may the great memories help you smile!

From the day Tyler was born, he touched my heart with his bright personality. I started babysitting Tyler around the age of 3 and watched him as her grew more and more beautiful each day. I found myself mesmerized by him; I could never get enough of just how adorable, friendly and happy he was. I consider Tyler, Spencer, Delaney, Nikki and Rich to be more then just friends, but family. I will always remember the joy that Tyler brought to me and everyone who knew him. Although I may not be living a town over, my heart is always here with you Nikki and Rich. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your family. Tyler will live in our hearts and memories forever.
Best Buds, Tyler and Eddie

It was August 2000. Nicole and Tyler came to visit me and my new baby Jack. I remember how afraid I was to hold Tyler as an infant, and here I had this tiny little 8lb 2-month old. During the visit Tyler needed a diaper change, but he wasn't really interested in getting a new diaper. He just hung around my house with his buff little bottomless bod! It's a silly memory that always brings a smile to my face.

No words exist to lessen the pain of losing Tyler. In so many ways, it feels like yesterday -the wound open and raw. In other ways, it feels like a million years have passed since we lost him, but his light still shines and there are days, I am sure, when you feel him right next to you. I feel blessed to have known him even for a few moments. Often I find myself praying to him and to my own boys, for help, for guidance, for inspiration, for strength.
Thinking of you.
Love, pat

I believe Tyler was about three. I had decided to have lunch at Legal Seafood. I was very happy to run into Nicole, Rich and Tyler at the restaurant. I think Nicole was on leave at the time. Tyler was the most self assured and handsome little boy. It was clear he was very much looking forward to eating. He was wearing shorts which showed off his well formed calves. They looked a lot like Rich's. When Tyler's hamburger arrived I was convinced he would never finish half of it. Silly me. He ate with such gusto and enjoyment that I was entranced. My girls just did not like food the way Tyler did. Sitting at the table with Rich, Nicole and Tyler was a deep family experience for me.

I can remember going to the fashion show fundraiser at Talbots when Tyler and Spencer were little models. They were just so cute. After the show was over, I remember each one of the boys sneaking a plate of cookies from the table and enjoying them in the corner thinking nobody saw them. I don't think I ever told you that Nicole. That will always be such a fond memory for me.

I can still see your face...a beautiful face with a great smile. Thanks for touching my life and making such an impact. What a special person with a beautiful spirit.

what can we say that hasn't been said about Tyler, he was so sweet, cute and loveable, he had the most beutiful brown eyes and a shy smile, The memories of Tyler are endless, but I always knew when he would come to my house he would go right to where the candy was kept, just like his little brother Spencer and his dad.

I will never, ever forget bringing Michael over for a sleepover. Tyler, Mike and Spencer were SO excited. We were there but 3 minutes and Tyler barfed all over the DR rug! Mike said, "Uh, Mrs. Poole? I think we've got a problem." All boys begged for the sleepover to continue, and so it did with eventually the Poole's and Gilroy's each getting the barf-a-rama. For crazy us, it's a fond memory and it makes me smile every time I think of it. :-))) Tyler is always ever-present with our family and we are so happy that he was the catalyst to the beginning and continuing of a wonderful family friendship. xoxoxo Brian, Tish John and Michael

Dear Nikki, Rich, Spencer & Delaney, It's been a year. So much has changed - and yet so much remains the same. I know they say time heals all wounds; and maybe the everyday, debilitating sadness is gone, but if I think too hard or too long, my throat tightens and I'm flooded with sadness, fear, anger and evey other complicated emotion my heart and head can create. I know you all are constantly reminded of the son and brother you lost, that was taken from you, and I so admire your strength. Nikki - you are so amazing to me. You keep on going -through all the pain, steadily searching for answers - and never giving up. You are such a strong person, and devoted mother. Your house even seemed peaceful last month; despite your profound loss, you've survived, and can find joy in your memories, and in your family. I know Spencer misses Tyler - it's like a part of him is gone. It soothes my soul to watch him & Riley play. The laughter of children is a magical sound. I know Tyler watches them, and I think he smiles, happy that his brother has a buddy. I know he is smiling down at his beautiful sister and I know he'll be her heavenly protector. Every dragonfly I see, I stop to look at, checking to see, does he have a face? Is it Tyler flitting down for a visit? Tyler was such a sweet and beautiful child - I wish he was still with us; to snuggle with, to smell his clean hair, to admire his beautiful body. I hold all of our memories dear: riding on the boat at the 1st lake house,having the boys camp out on cots in Riley's room )before there was a Riley),Tyler letting me pull his very first loose tooth, playing in the sand at Hilton Head and just enjoying our summer family get togethers. Do you remember what Tyler's favorite word was when he was little, 3 or 4 I guess? When you asked him a question, instead of yes he'd say "sure." It always came out as "chore." I can hear him say it right now. Tyler will always have a special place in all of our hearts. I hope this year brings peace and closure. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I can't wait to see you all again, and of course Riley can't wait to see "my Spencer." I love you all.
