Another year has gone by without you here on Earth with us. Many of our friends have joined you as well and are free from the binds this life has given. Please continue watching over us and giving us strength. It´s so hard to think of what could have been, but I know you are in a place of constant joy and happiness and I find comfort in that. Please know you are never forgotten.
Love always

Troy,
I can't believe it has been 11 years. I know you are free from the binds of this world and so many friends have joined you since you left. You are still greatly missed here and I know you would be proud of me today.
Love always,
Crystal

Troy,
I miss you everyday that I wake up. Sometimes it is so hard and I question why I wasn't taken with you. Only God knows the answer to this question and I will when I see you again. You showed me a love that no other person ever could. The pain I feel is so overbearing, but it could never outweigh the joy I felt in loving you everyday. Each morning that I wake up without you by my side I think of how much of a better place you are now and find comfort in that. Please know that my love for you lives on and will never die...I can't wait for the day I will see you and stand at your side again! I love you baby!

Troy it's been many years since I've seen or spoken to you. I remember you always being such a good friend to my brother (Keith). You even went to my college graduation, I still have the picture of you with my family. You held a special place in my heart and you will be missed! My peace be with you and your family, God bless all of you.

Still...
I mourn. It will never be easy to accept and understand. Run through the things I can't touch with my hands, anymore. The sadness hangs but I cannot overlook the beauty of being able to have your memory. My childhood is laced with your kindred spirit, our blood. I choose what I want to remember and I remember your jumps, your looks, your smile, your sense of humor, you playing Zelda, living with us, stinking of 40th street seafood...
These things are mine and nothing can take that away, not even the tragedy that has occurred. When I lose someone I tell myself to live on because they cannot. My life isn't over yet so I must make the most of each day since they can't. Keep the memory close and face the world.
Nothing is going to bring you back, not even justice. Having to face that everyday through reminders hurts, but I find comfort in your living, all 36 years. Fortunate to have these memories and knowing that you loved me and I loved you. I will laugh and cry for you, but most of all, I will live on with your good memory. Keep an eye on us cuzzie.

Troy,
You died without knowing just how much I love you. I knew that our relationship needed to be repaired but I kept telling myself that there would be time for us to get together and fix it all. I pray that you died knowing how much I love u. Watch over all of us. I love and niss you and I am sure that you are and always will be in Heaven looking down at all of us,

You left us too soon Troy, its not fair. I often think what if, or if things were different... but that doesn't really matter. What matters is that you're in a better place and we will all be together again. Rod-N-Reel KneeBody out! You will always be in my heart.

Dear Troy its just so hard to believe you're no longer with us. It seems like just yesterday I was visiting you at the hospital when you were a kid from a dog bite. It was kind of funny when the gift I bought for you was a stuffed dog ha ha! Anyway it made you laugh and that's what was important. we will all miss your beautiful smile and your funny ways but you are in good hands with the lord. I'll see you later in heaven, until then love you more then words can say.
PS: Debra, I know that your life has changed and will never be the same and I can't say I know because I've never lost a child and can't imagine what it's like. I just hope that one day you can be happy and smile again. I love you so much.

Dear Troy,
Though you are in the arms of my father in Heaven, I miss you being here with us on earth. You left this world to quickly. It still fills my heart with complete joy to know that God shared you with us all for a little while & gave me the privledge of having you as my cousin. I can still see your beautiful smile like it was yesterday. Though we are apart for now, I will see you again some day in heaven. Till I get there keep my seat warm for me.
I love you beyond words.
Your Cousin (Abshers are Forever)

I wish I could be with you in person, but you know my thoughts and prayers are with you. I've never lost a child but I do know loss, and grief and you know I'm always here if you need me. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints and you know you can trust God's Sovereign plan to impact the lives and hearts of many through Troy's passing. We will all be together again one day (maybe sooner than we think)! I love you so much, Deb. Your sister, Genny

The text i received was so alarming my mother and I began to pray, that text has brought us together for more reasons than one, only our God knows why and He will reveal it to us soon. For God so Loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son and His name is Jesus. The greatest name I know. The name Jesus will give you peace that will surpass your on understanding in such time as this. A time of sorrow, hurt, and pain. May the God we serve continue to bless you and your family through this rough time. We love you and will keep you in our prayers.

You have peace in your heart Debbie that Troy always knew, how very much he was loved by you.
Love,

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Troy was a great friend, through the good times & the bad. I will always cherish the memories of us just acting silly, or him being someone I could count on. Troy was an amazing person with a heart of gold! I will always love & miss you!! Until we meet again, my friend, sleep with the angels.

Debra and family,
I am so sorry for the pain you are feeling, losing a son, brother, nephew, grandson is more then one can bear at times, but know that time will pass and the knowing of Troy being with our heavenly father and him being an angel watching down upon you will be your peace. You all are in my prayers, having lost my brother not even a year ago I feel your sorrow. May God's love overtake you and give you peace.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Troy you will be missed dearly. We our left with the emptyness of your smile and humor. We will burned them into our hearts and memory forever. The pain will be with us for a while, but your memory will stay with us forever. We are comforted by the thought that you are in heaven with God. You made us proud of you by the donation of your heart and liver. I know God blessed you for that. Troy we will reconize you each holiday and share it with you as if you are still with us. We will keep you alive within our family because we love you that much. Until the day we see you again,Love always and God Bless your soul always.
Love and Hugs,
Aunt Ana
