It´s been six long year today since we´ve seen your face and heard your voice. It feels like yesterday that we loss a little piece to this puzzle. It´s been really hard to move on without you. But we try and put on a smiling face just because we know that´s what you´d want us to do. This world is crazy out here and we know your resting in peace. But sometimes the tears just won´t stop running down our face. We miss you like crazy Ash. This pain we feel will never go away until we meet up again in our final resting place. We Love and miss you so much.
Your Big Sis & Twin Brother

Missing you like crazy. It's not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Your daughter is growing up to be a strong beautiful young lady. She has your fierce athletic ability, drive and determination. We love you always.

In Memory of A Special
BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today is full of memories
Of a BROTHER laid to rest
And every single one of them
Is filled with laughter and happiness
For you were someone special
Always such a joy to know
And there was so so much pain
When it was time to let you go
That’s why this special message
Is sent to the heavens above
For the angels to take care of you
And give you all our Love
It’s been 4yrs now and it feels like yesterday. They say time heals all wounds but that’s not what we can say.
Your daughter is growing up fast and she reminds us some much of you. Every time we look into her eyes all we think about is you.
We’ve never felt so much anger, hurt and pain until that day of losing you. Our hearts and souls may never rest until the day we’re lying next to you.
We Love and Miss You So Much!!!
Your Momma, Big Sister & Lil Brother

FIVE MINUTES
If we only had five minutes the day you passed away,
We would have had the time to tell you all the things we needed to say.
We never got to tell you how much you mean to us,
You were the very best little Brother to each and every one of us.
The last time that we talked to you, We wish we would have known.
We would have said that we loved you, and kept you on the phone.
If we only had five minutes, the night you passed away.
We'd give you one last hug so tight and to see your great big smiling face.
We'd tell you that we don't think we could live on without you, not even for a while.
We'd kiss your cheeks and take you hand and tell you its ok to go.
And tell you that we'll miss you, more than you'll ever know.
But you were gone so quickly, One last car ride you'd take.
Before you even knew it, You were standing at Heaven's Gate.
Now God has called upon you, It's time to get your wings.
To leave this life behind you, And enjoy all of Heaven's beautiful things.
So wait for us in Heaven Lil Brother, Don't let us come alone.
The day the angels come for us, Please be there to bring us home.
Forever in Our Hearts,
Ansel & Aaron

Still can't believe your gone. I'll treasure all the childhood memories I'm left with. We were a force to be reckoned with on the track. I loved watching you race. You and Aaron always looked out for me and when I got sick you both did all you could to protect me. You were my brother and my heart will forever hurt. Rest in Heaven.
