It takes so much courage to go on, day after day, after someone you love has gone on to Jesus. Families like this one are like shining lights in the world, pointing to the time we'll all be together for eternity. Thank you, former neighbors, for being my inspiration these past years. Blake was such a sweet boy, and now he prays for us all. You will never be forgotten down here, and I am looking forward to knowing all the answers up there. I have run into Judy, Tony, and Toni Lynn just in the past year and all of them were lit up with a beauty that could only come from Heaven. So I knew that Blake was comforting them. Thank you, Zieto family, for your faith. God bless and be with you all.

BLAKE, I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU MERRY CHRISTMAS, SINCE THIS IS THE LAST DAY OF THE BOOK. I MISS YOU SO MUCH. I WAS THINKING ABOUT WHEN YOU WERE BORN. PAW-PAW ZIETO CAME AND GOT ME OUT OF SCHOOL AND TOOK ME TO THE HOSPITAL WHEN MOM WAS IN LABOR WITH YOU. I WAS THERE WHEN YOU WERE BORN, I CHANGED YOUR DIAPERS, BABYSAT FOR YOU ALL OF THE TIME, AND COMPLAINED ABOUT IT ALL OF THE TIME. BUT NOW I LOOK BACK AND THINK THAT I WAS THERE FOR YOU. NOW, I WISH THAT YOU WERE LITTLE AGAIN SO I WOULD HAVE MORE TIME WITH YOU. I WAS THERE WHEN YOU WAS BORN, BUT I WAS NOT THERE WHEN YOU LEFT US. I CRY ABOUT THAT ALL OF TIME. I WISH I COULD TURN BACK TIME, AND CHANGE THINGS ABOUT THAT DAY YOU LEFT US, BUT I KNOW I CANNOT. I WISH YOU WAS HERE WITH US FOR CHRISTMAS. THINHS HAVE NOT BEEN THE SAME IN THE FAMILY SINCE YOU LEFT. NOBODY LAUGHS ANYMORE, ALL I DO IS CRY FOR YOU. THERE IS NOT MINUTE THAT GOES BY THAT I DONOT THINK ABOUT YOU. I TALK TO THE STARS LIKE YOU ARE THERE, I TALK TO YOUR PICTURES LIKE YOU ARE THERE. THE OTHER NIGHT, JASON PULLED UP SOME VIDEOS OF YOU TALKING, AND MAKING PEOPLE LAUGH AND IT MADE ME CRY JUST SEEING YOU ALIVE AGAIN. WELL ITS TIME FOR ME TO GO CAUSE THIS BOOK IS ABOUT TO END ITS 11:52PM. I JUST WANTED TO SAY BYE AGAIN. KEEP COMMING IN MY DREAMS. I LOVE YOU ALOT!!!!!!
BYE, REMEMBER TO SHINE YOUR STAR FOR ME!!!
LOVE YOUR BIG SIS

Blake Michael,
Today Mike and I were doing our last minute Christmas shopping in the mall and we ran into Hayley (Lolli). She looks wonderful and just as pretty or prettier than ever. She was going to have lunch with your mom and dad. She will always be a part of our family.
You should be very proud of her as we know you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We had dinner with your mom and dad last night and enjoyed their company very much. Mike and I enjoy being with them. We always talk about you. I pray that one day they will be able to talk about you without tears in their eyes. They love and miss you very much.
When Dominic died I learned real fast that life is real short and no one knows what tomorrow will bring. We should live our life to the fullest like every day will be our last. We don't know when Our Dear Lord will be ready for us. I pray that we can all live like you did on earth. You were one special, happy young man with the biggest and prettiest smile who lived each day to the fullest with love in your heart.
Blake, we all need to thank God for each and every day. Please watch over us because we will never forget you. We love and miss you very much.
Maw Merle still talks about you and our cabin adventures. She said you were so handsome.
Love,
Nannie Lynn
Your nannie forever.......
PS. This is the last time I will be writing in your guestbook but this is not the last time we will talk. (You know all of my secrets and please make all my prayers come true). You know my heart and so does Jesus.

To Everyone,
I would like to take this opportunity to say "Thank You" to every one who has shown compassion and concern for me this past year. It has been a rough journey that God has taken us on and I have appreciated every prayer that has been given to me to help me make it through. Your words have helped to ease my pain and helped me to look ahead for what is to come.
To My Girlfriends,
I cannot say “Thank You” enough to all of you!!! I truly believe that you all are the reason that I am able to stand here today and be the woman I am. Thank you for picking me up in my times of need. Thank you for listening me cry. Thank you for helping me smile when I thought I had forgotten how. Thank you for ALWAYS letting me be “me”, the real me, even when it was hard for you to handle. Thank you for continuing to tell stories about Blake and laugh, or fuss, about all the things he used to do. Thank you for promising to always remember him! All the effort that ya’ll have put into making this past year as easy as possible for me has NOT gone unnoticed! I have been truly blessed to have friends like you!
To the Zieto family (& aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.),
I am so proud to be able to say that I belong to your family. I am so honored and humbled to know that you all have accepted me as one of your own. I LOVE each and every one of you! Thank you for including me in everything that you do and for always taking care of me. I am promising you now that I will never grow apart from you family, I promise be around forever. That is.. for as long as you will have me! :)
To the LOVE OF MY LIFE,
I can’t believe the time has come for this book to be closed. It has been my “life line” to you for these passed 13 months. I have had some serious ups and downs, and I believe with all my heart that you have been right by my side the entire time. I remember that night like it was last night.... I should’ve been so mad at you for not calling me when you said you were. 2 hours had past since I was expecting your call, but for some very strange reason, I was so calm. I told Toni Lynn “I’m ok… I think everything is ok.” I would find out 2 hours later that at the exact time that I spoke those words, your presence was standing right beside me.... I think about you one million times a day. Everything that I lay my eyes on reminds me of you! I talk about you all the time, even to strangers! Haha. I miss you like crazy. Sometimes I miss you so much that I think I am going crazy! I think about the 4 years that we were able to spend together... there is so much that I wish I would have done different and there is so much that I would NEVER change. Sometimes I feel so lonely because there were so many things that we did only between the two of us, and now, I have no one to share them with. I have tried, but it’s just not the same, no one truly gets our random-ness. I often wonder if I will ever find someone who will be as perfect for me as you were. Everyone knows that we had our share of rough times, but NO one will ever understand how great our good times together really were!! It still feels like a very terrible nightmare that I have to re-live every morning when I open my eyes. I would give ANYTHING to be able to spend the rest of my life with you! I hope that I was able to show you how much I truly loved you when you were here with me. I can’t wait to see you in heaven one day... I just know that everything will be absolutely perfect! (Except for your lip of course! That scare better still be there mister!) No matter what happens, never forget that I will love you with my entire heart, always and forever! I Love You, I Love You, I Love You...
Love ALWAYS & FOREVER,
Your Babygirl,
Haylee Renee

Hey Blake, it's Dad. I miss you so much. My heart breaks 10 times a day. This is the longest you've ever been away. To every-one else, it's been a year since your accident. But to us, it seems like it was last week-end. A little tree sprouted up by your bronze marker, so we took it home and planted it next to the brick patio you helped build. We're waiting to see what kind of tree it will grow up to be. I finally finished building the motorcycle you and I started. We'll have to wait till I get to Heaven to take that first trip we planned together. (I know I'm skipping from one thought to another). Mike Loyd was the guy who stayed beside you at the accident scene. He said-"motorcycle riders have to stick together". Say hello to Corey, Jeff, Amie, Tyson, and your cousin Karen for us. I know all of you will have so many good times together. Haylee still has your voice greeting on the cell phone(I leave you a message every now and then just to hear your voice). Please give JESUS the biggest hug you can from me, and thank Him for making a way for us to meet you again one day. I love you and miss you so much. Bye for now.

Dear Jesus,
In Your Word, You said that you will comfort those who mourn. So, I am asking you to comfort my family and I because we all truly miss Blake. In Your Word, You also say that we should forgive people who hurt us so that you will forgive us, too. So, please give us the strength to forgive the suspect. You also say that if we ask for something, it will be given to us. So, I am asking you to give peace to my family and I. In Your Word, You said that you will give rest to those who are heavily burdened. As you know, we are having trouble sleeping since Blake died. So, please help our minds to rest so that we can sleep better. You said that your Father's house has many mansions and that you are preparing a place for us. So, thank you for the beautiful blue mansion in heaven that you gave to Blake and thanks, in advance, for the one that you are preparing for us. Lord, in Your Word, You said that you make all things good and they all work together for your Glory. So, I will not let Blake's death be in vain. I will rejoice in your name. I know that you give and you take away. So, blessed be your name. You also said that you will never leave us, nor forsake us. So, please be with us through these tough holidays and fill the empty seat where Blake used to sit. Please tell Blake that Presley and I love him and we will see him in heaven one day. Tell him that Presley said he has big, blue wings. To mom, dad, Heather, Jason, Victoria, Jadon, Lollie, and everyone that loves Blake...Presley and I love each and every one of you and God will get us through this! Be Blessed!!!
Love,
Toni Lynn Zieto

Blake Michael, my baby boy:
This will be my last letter to you in this guest book. It will end on December 20, 2007. I am going to have it printed.
You know that this has been the hardest year of our lives. Having to live without you. We miss you so much and love you so much that
our heart aches for you. I talk to
your pictures, like you were still here. I ask myself 100 times a day
why did God take you away from us??
Why did this terrible accident have to happen to you??? Why did'nt
we get to say goodbye to you??? Why??Why??Why?? Now.....How do we go on without you??? How do we survive??? Son, it's so hard!!!!!
Life is not the same anymore. You just go through the motions, because you have to, but losing you, losing my child, HURTS SO BAD.
There is no pain on this earth that you can compare this too.
I know that you will live forever
in our hearts and in our memories.
No one can ever take that away from us. Please watch over our family, and send the angels down to help us.
Until we meet again............
Love, Mom and Dad
P. S. MERRY CHRISTMAS, MY LOVE

TO MY BABY BROTHER,
IT HAS BEEN 1 YEAR SINCE YOU LEFT US, AND I CAN REMEMBER THAT DAY LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY. THAT DAY WILL STAY WITH ME FOREVER. I MISS YOU SO MUCH WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS JUST HOW MUCH. I HAVE NOT BEEN DOING GOOD THROUGH THESE HOLIDAYS. MOST NIGHTS I GO TO DAD AND CRY WITH HIM. WE HUG EACH OTHER AND CRY TOGETHER. I MISS YOU MAKING ME LAUGH. SOON I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO WRITE TO YOU ANYMORE IN THIS BOOK, BUT I WILL STILL TALK YOU OUTSIDE WHEN I LOOK AT YOUR STAR THAT YOU SHINE FOR ME EVERYNIGHT. IT IS THE ONLY STAR MOST NIGHTS OUTSIDE AND IT SHINES BRIGHT, SO BRIGHT THAT IT LOOKS LIKE A CROSS. I LOOK AT YOUR PICTURE EVERYDAY AND JUST SAY WHY,WHY,WHY??? I GUESS I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND WHY. I WISH I COULD HAVE SOME CLOSURE WITH ALL OF THIS BUT I JUST CANNOT. I WANT YOU HERE WITH US. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL LATELY. MY MIND JUST CAN NOT HOLD ANYMORE. ALL I THINK ABOUT IS YOU. ALOT OF DAYS I PUT THE KIDS ON THE BUS AND JUST STARE INTO SPACE, OR GO TO SLEEP. I FIGURE MY MIND WILL STOP THINKING ABOUT EVERYTHING IF I JUST SHUT THINGS OUT, BUT IT DOES NOT WORK. BLAKE, PLEASE GIVE ME WHAT I NEED TO KEEP GOING. MY KIDS KEEP ME GOING BUT I STILL NEED MORE. EVERYDAY JADON DOES SOMETHING AND IT REMINDS ME OF WHEN YOU WAS LITTLE BOY. HE DOES THINGS THAT YOU USED TO DO WHEN YOU WAS HIS AGE. ALOT OF TIMES I CALL HIM BLAKE BEFORE I CALL HIM JADON. THEY MISS YOU SO MUCH. I DREAM ABOUT YOU ALOT, BUT WHEN I WAKE UP I CANNOT REMEMBER THE DREAM. HELP ME TO REMEMBER THE DREAMS THAT I HAVE ABOUT YOU. I KNOW THAT I THINK ABOUT THE GOOD TIMES WE HAD TOGETHER EVERY DAY, THE WAY YOU ALWAYS MADE ME LAUGH AND SOMETIMES CRY AND LAUGH AT YOU AT THE SAME TIME. I MISS THAT ALOT. I CANNOT GO THROUGH ANOTHER HOLIDAY WITHOUT YOU. ITS BEEN VERY HARD, PLEASE HELP ME. YOU TELL COREY TO WATCH OVER HIS MOM RIGHT NOW, SHE NEEDS IT. AND YALL BETTER NOT BE FIGHTING WITH SLIM JIMS UP THERE. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH AND MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY!!!!!!
SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS
LOVE YOU

Dear Judy, Tony, and Heather, and Haylee too though you don't know me, and all of you who knew and loved and still love Blake:
I want to tell you how much this guest book for Blake has meant to me over this year. I have read every entry and prayed for each of you daily.
When we were neighbors back on Counsel, we saw each other only once in a while, except for the fun year when I got to be Heather's teacher. But I remember Blake coming to our door so many years for school fundraising things. To see how loved he was/is, and to read these beautiful letters, and to know he is waiting for all of you in Heaven, is both sad and lovely. I am so very glad you are praying people!
I go to a church now that has daily church and prayer chapel, and I love that, for it gives me the chance to pray frequently in quietness, without interruption.
The older I get, and now I'm 63, the closer to Heaven I feel and the shorter life seems. Soon all of this will be a dream, and we will be glad we trusted God and continued to love and to laugh and to trust and to study and to help, and to give thanks.
May God bless all of you. We are so busy with family now that I don't know if we will ever see you, but some day I hope to drive by your house and stop in. Thank you again for sharing all of these letters with us. You will always have a special place in our hearts. The world is always blessed by families like yours, and that will never stop. You have helped me grow in faith.
I am very glad you got the little dog! Haylee, you will touch so many people in your life with your compassionate nursing. God will provide for you, will somehow heal your heart, and will help you understand someday. Blake will see to it, I am convinced. There's a huge family of Saints in Heaven, a real cloud of witnesses. God hasn't left us without this comfort, and every person who has a loved one up there can think of this. May this reality be a comfort for you.
Blessings,
Julie Ashton

Blake, my sweet baby boy,
I miss you so much! The holiday season is here and it's so hard to celebrate Christmas without you, it is your most favorite time of the year. Knowing you won't be here with us is so hard, but I know you'll decorate the biggest Christmas tree in Heaven. ( I haven't put up one since you were taken from us.
I just wanted to let you know how much we miss seeing your beautiful smile, and how much we L O V E you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not a moment goes by that I don't think of you.
Then slowly I wipe away my tears, trying not to let anyone see my sadness. Poor little Presley, she'll look at me and say maw maw, you miss uncle Blake??? And I'll reply, yes baby every minute of the day. Please watch over Haylee( Lollie pop), your sisters, and your dad( he's not doing well excepting the fact that your gone).
Victoria, Jadon and Presley miss you so much. Please send the angels down to watch over all of us through this holiday season.
Love you until .................

I remember reading about Blake's tragedy last year. I was very saddened to read the circumstances surrounding his death. I continued to be saddened as I frequently read journal entries from Blake’s family and friends. Each entry was written with a tremendously amount of love from so many that loved and continues to love Blake. Haylee, you are a very special young woman. I have read all of your touching, genuine, and loving entries to your Blake. He is very lucky to have been blessed with you in his life. It saddens me that you and Blake will not be able to continue to share the immense love that you both had for one another. I know that you will always treasure what you and he did share together. You have helped me to be thankful for each day that I have with my family. I never want to feel the pain that I have heard through your words and I hope that my love for my husband shines as much as your love has shown for Blake. Your love is expressed so deeply and so beautifully that this guestbook has become something I have looked forward to visiting many times. You do not know me and I do not know you.....personally………….but I am confident that I know a few words that describe you as a person. I know that you are a dedicated, loving, driven, passionate, strong, intelligent, beautiful, and sincere young woman. Thank you for teaching us all so much about love through your words in this guestbook dedicated to Blake. I am sorry you have had to experience such a tragedy in your young life..........but please know that through this tragedy you have touched so many lives with your beautiful words. I wish you much happiness and success in your life. Again, thank you for sharing this part of your life with us.
Mrs. Judy, I wish to express my sincere sympathy to you, as well. Blake may have left you too soon but I know that the time he was with you, he was a much loved young man. What a beautiful family! It says a lot about you that so many people loved your son so deeply………I am sure Blake would want you to know that it is because of you that he was able to find such happiness in his life. May God continue to bless you and your extended family.
I will miss reading all of the beautiful entries from this family after December 20th. Again, God bless each and every one of Blake’s family and friends!

Mrs Judy, Mr Toni, Toni Lynn & Heather,
Although it has been a year since Blake has left us, I would like you all to know that Blake was a very huge part of our family.(actually he still is for we talk about him everyday). We thought that he was very funny and definitely very random. You just never knew what he was going to say or do. There are so many sayings that he used around our family that no one else will ever understand and we have so many wonderful memories of Blake from the last 3 1/2 years of his life. When he first started hanging around the house, he was fairly shy. But as he got to know us, especially our joking and picking ways, he just fell right in with us. He would get so excited when my whole family would get together because he loved the way that all of my nieces and nephews would all get out in the yard and play football, try to balance on Amber's beam, ride Vance's dirt bike, jump on the trampoline together or just plain have fun in the yard. He was no more than just a big kid himself. Everyone just loved him so much. Amber would get so excited when she would see him because he made her laugh until she cried. Every time he would come over to our house he would always hug me and shake Chad's hand. This is one of the things that Chad misses about him. No one ever goes out into Chad's cook shed anymore to see him like Blake used to do. As you well know Haylee misses him the most of all. Last night we were laughing about something funny that Blake did and Haylee started crying and saying "God I miss him so much!" I see that in her eyes everyday. I know how much she misses him. Watching her grieve has been one of the hardest things that I have ever had to do as a mother. There is absolutely nothing in the world that I can say or do that will ever make this any better. I just continue to hope and pray that one day she will again find true happiness. I know that Blake will always be a very huge part of her life. I pray that she will find the strength to finish school and move forward with the rest of her life. I know that there are good things waiting out there for her. Know that your family will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. Know that Blake was and will always be loved by my family. He was very special to us. May God Bless your family and may you find some peace and happiness to carry you through.

Judy, Tony, Heather & Toni Lynn,
We just want you to know that you are always in our thoughts and prayers. Not a day goes by that I do not check this guestbook. I know this have been a very difficult year for all of you. I cannont even imagine the pain ya'll have been through. You know I remember when Don and I started dating in 1973 his mama had a sticker on the sliding glass door that came from Dow Chemical and I used to never give too much thought - it said " LIFE IS FRAGILE -- HANDLE WITH CARE ". Well I've thought about that saying a lot in the last 35 years especially in the last year. And now since Ashlynn was born it seems more truer than ever. She is changing everyday, and to see Jake with her-- he's more at ease with her than I am. You know me-- babies make me nervous. Maybe it's because of what i went through in 1972. New Year's Eve she'll be 35 years old.
You have been there for me when I needed you and I feel like I have done nothing for you. I didn't even call you for your birthday week before last. I told Don it was your birthday and we were supposed to call you. It was also Brittany's birthday-- she was 20. Her and Jake seem to be doing ok. They are fixing to move out of my house and into one of the rent houses by the office.
Just remember how much I love you and that we are only a phone call away-- anytime night or day
XO XOXOXO

Blake,
There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you. You had a passion about life that makes me want to live every day to the fullest like you did. We don't know what tomorrow will bring. The Lord always takes the best first and he did this with you and Uncle Dominic.
We love and miss you very much!!!!
Love,
Nannie Lynn
PS Dominic Blake looks just like you when you were a baby ..... He even has big feet and hands like you .....

To All Family and Friends:
December 20, 2007 will be the last day to write to Blake in his guestbook, as we have decided not to renew it. I would like to thank everyone for all you have done to help us through the most difficult time in our lives. Losing a child is a grief that cannot heal. Please continue to write to Blake and share some of your favorite memories of him until December 20, 2007. I am going to purchase the guestbook on December 21, 2007. We will cherish this guestbook of Blakes' and it will help us to know your favorite memories that you shared with him.
Please continue to pray for our family as we try to take one day at a time.
Love,
THE ZIETO FAMILY

HAPPY THANKSGIVING BABY BOY,
I know you had the best Turkey of all in heaven. PawPaw AJ cooked your favorite, rice dressing. We
talked about how much you use to like it. Baby Dominic Blake was there. Son, he reminds me so much of you when you were his age. I couldn't stop looking at him...
We miss you so much our hearts actually hurts from the heartache. We think about you of every minute of everyday. Please watch over your dad, he's not doing so well these days.
See you in my dreams,
Love,
Mama

Hey Baby,
Wow...........It was exactly one year ago today that I was standing in RestHaven Funeral Home, showing off all your pictures and welcoming everyone who came to visit you one last time. It was this time of the day, 365 days ago, that we offered your human bady to God and prayed that we would one day have the chance to see you again. I don't remember everything about that day... I don't even remember what I said in my speech at your service. But what I do remember is thinking "What am I suppossed to do now?" "How am I suppossed to live 'our' life by myself?" Well, it has now been one whole year since that sad day..... and I'm still here, and you're still there.
Throughout this year I have had to overcome so many obsticles in all aspects of my life. It has been the longest, most confusing year of my life. So many questions have gone unanswered, so many events unexplained, so many things gone wrong. And yet, everything I do, or everything that has happened to me, Always make me think of you! I still relate everything back to you. "What would Blake think about this?" "I wish I could tell Blake about this?" etc. And like I have said in the past... Everything I do, I do it with you in mind. Everywhere I look, I see me & you or something that reminds me of you.
I can't believe I am starting my second year of living without you. I miss you more than words can say, but I KNOW that you know that already. I love you with all my heart... with every part of my body. I love you, I love you, I love you!
Love ALWAYS & FOREVER,
Your Babygirl,
~Me~

Hey Blake,
I just wanted to wish you a belated happy birthday. I can't believe it has been a year already. I wanted to go visit your grave Sunday but I didn't know where you were buried and I was really upset that I couldn't make it. I really miss you alot Blake. I went into the old Payless the other day and all I could remember was all those fun times we had together. I still can't believe you are gone. I am always thinking about you and the memories that we have of the "Payless Crew". Well I hope you continue to watch over Haylee, I know she really needs you right now. Brian and I miss you very much. Once again Happy belated birthday.
love ya Blake Michael!

My precious baby boy,
It's hard to believe that it will be one year tomorrow that you were taken from us. Blake it seems like just last night!! The pain, the grief, the sadness, and the heartache is still there. We miss you so much our heart actually aches for you. If only I could look in those beautiful blue eyes again, and oh what would I give just to hold you and tell you how much we love you and miss you. How
I wish I could see your beautiful smile or hear you say, " sweet" or "that's gross". I ask myself daily, WHY YOU? WHY MY BABY BOY?? But, I don't get an answer, yet I keep asking....
Son, we love you and miss you so much. We will go to the cemetery tomorrow and just look at the place where we laid your broken body to rest. We'll cry and cry and cry..and then leave..wondering
the same question ...WHY OUR BABY?
Please come to me in my dreams at least I can see you there..
Love,
Mama

Blake,
Wow, I can't believe that tomorrow will be one year since you left us. It has truly been one of the most difficult years of my life. Watching my child grieve over the lost of someone who was so very important to her has been so hard. She loved you with all of her heart and unconditionally. She misses you so much and we all talk about you every day. Lock the door-eat your vegetables, "I got a brand new girlfriend", "Free Beer" instead of Free Bird. Those are just a few of the things that make us laugh when we talk about you. Chad & I both miss you very much. We talk about how no matter what you would always come into the shed to see what we were cooking, shake Chad's hand and give me a hug. We talk about the message on my answering machine that had you rolling with laughter the night before you left us. Thinking about that always makes me laugh.The picture of you sprawled out across my bed laughing and saying "Play it again Mrs. Carla" will always be my greatest memory. Nancy had just been buried that day and I was so sad yet you managed to make me laugh before you left. I am so glad that that is the last memory I have of you. You surely will never be forgotten at this house because we have sooooo many great memories of you that we continue to share with each other everyday. I am just asking that you continue to watch over Haylee. Give her the strength to get through nursing school. She will truly be a fantastic nurse one day. She is very compassionate and hopefully one day she can help to save someone's life. We miss you so much and we love you. May you rest in peace and always be in our memories.

Hey Honey Bunches!
Happy Birthday Blakey!
Well, I hope you are having a great birthday in heaven with Mrs. Nancy, Jeff, Phillip, and Corey. I really miss you down here! We went to a Halloween party last night. Mom & I were talking before I left. I was telling her about Halloween 2005. You had been in Texas since mid September and I haden't seen you in what felt like forever! I was at the party, waiting for you to call. When you called you asked where the party was... and then you drove up!!!! I remember running down the street in my heels to meet you! It was like a movie! I can't even describe how happy I was to see you! Mom was laughing when I was telling her.
I really miss you Bay! It's so weird, you know? This has been the Longest year of my life, yet it still feels like I just got the call last night. I can't believe that it has been almost a year. Please keep watching over me Bay. I Love You, I Love You, I Love YOU!!!!
Love ALWAYS & FOREVER,
Your Babygirl,

Hey my Love,
I really miss you and I really need you right now. This has been a really rough week! School is not going so well, and there are so many other things going on in my life right now that are so confusing. My heart is aching right now. I feel so lonely. I need someone to talk to and no one else can understand! I know you know what I'm talking about. I got some news today that made my heart drop and my feelings were really hurt. I wish you were here to help me say what I want to say. I am trying really hard to be a good person, but I keep feeling like I'm not doing a good job or like I might be disapointing some people. I love you and I could really use a dream!!! I miss you. I know you can't be here with me to comfort me, but please send me your love... I will be able to feel it, I know. I'm missing you so much!

Hey Baby Boy,
Last Saturday Justin Doll got married! It was a beautiful ceremony outside. I could not stop thinking about you. It was so
hard to attend a wedding knowing that you and Lollie will never experience the joy of marriage. During the ceremony a crouch rocket (yellow and black) just like yours passed. The guy was wearing a yellow and black leather jacket and helment just like yours. I did all I could to contain myself!!!!I finally broke down at the reception and had to leave. I know if you were still here with us you would have been next to Justin and all those guys you use to work with at payless toasting to Justin and Naomi. Mr. Bob was his best man. I know how much you love and respect Mr. Bob.
Ms. Karen was so beautiful and proud. I know you were looking down from Heaven at Justin and Noami, giving them your blessings.
Son, I love and miss you so much. I think about you every minute of everyday. I had a dream about you and Corey W. Ya'll were throwing dirt all over the front porch. I went outside just a fussing saying
Blake Michael, I just swept this porch, quit throwing dirt. Then I
woke up remembering it was just a dream. If only it was real, and you were still here with us, I'd let you throw all the dirt you wanted to on the front porch!
Please come to me in my dreams son.
I love dreaming about you, it's so real.
Hugs and Kisses My sweet baby boy,
Love,
Mama

Hey Baby Boy,
Well, Blake Michael, mama got her puppy yesterday! Her name is Shady Baby. She is a Shih Tzu and is eight weeks old. I am exhausted because she did not sleep at all last night. She learned how to bark, whine, holler, screetch all in one night. At about 4:30 this morning I started wondering, Oh Lord, what have I done??? But, then I quickly regained my thoughts! She's so cute! She is a tiny imperial shih tzu, she' only suppose to weight about 7 pounds when she is full grown. I can't wait for Lollie to see her. She is the breed that you were going to buy for Lollie but her mom would not let her have a puppy.
Baby boy, I miss you so much. I know that you had something to do with me getting my puppy. I know
you had to have talked to your dad. Tonight he was playing with her with a wash cloth. He was pulling her around the room , she
looked like a mop! He made her a cage to stay in while we're not home! I can tell he likes her too. Thanks son!!!!!!
Watch over us precious baby boy, we miss you and love you soooooo
much.
Love,

Hey Baby boy,
It has been 10 months today since you were taken from us. It seems like just last night. We miss you so much son. I still can't believe your really gone. Things like this aren't suppose to happen to you, to us. I ask myself why, why, why , did God take our baby boy ? We love you so much!!!!!!!
Heather is taking me tomorrow to put and LSU flag on your grave. We
know how much you love LSU football, (baseball, basketball, etc).
Please Blake come to me in my dreams! Please let us know your alright! Watch over your sweet
baby girl. She's working so hard in school. She is going to make a wonderful nurse. I talked to her and she was doing her clinicals in the EMERGENCY ROOM>>>> I can just here you saying ...OH g r o s s! I know you are looking down from heaven on her saying " THAT'S MY BABY GIRL"".
We love you very much son and miss you too...see you in my dreams...

Hey Baby,
I was so excited about Tiffany and Don naming their baby after you that I cried when I read his name! I know you are honored. I miss you honey bunches... of oats! ;) Thank you for everything you have been doing for me lately. School is getting so hard! I still pick up the phone after I leave class to try to call and bother you at work, just to tell you how stressful class was or how good I did on my test or something. I started my third rotation of clinicals today. I was in my car, driving back from the hospital, and I smiled so big because it was like I heard you whisper in my ear... "So how was your day "my little nurse, you!" It sounded just like it did everyday when I walked into your apartment and said... "honey, I'm home!" Haha. I want to tell you thank you again for making feel like its ok to smile lately.
And I know that you already know but..... I FOUND MY PEARL EARINGS! Yay for me! I was so excited that I cried. Well first I turned white and completely stopped breathing for about 2 mins! haha. But then I cried! Thank you so much babydoll! I love you to pieces, MUAH!
Love ALWAYS & FOREVER,
Your Babygirl!

Hdy Baby Boy,
I know you and Uncle Dominic were
watching over Don and Tiffany today. DOMINIC BLAKE DEBENEDETTO
was welcomed into the family weighing 7pounds 11 ounces!! When
they told the family the baby's name I totally lost it. Blake he has big hands just like you when you were born. He is a beautiful baby! You have a namesake. Your name will live forever in this precious baby that was given to Don and Tiffany from Jesus. Dad and I are so honored that they named their baby boy after our "baby boy"!..I know Uncle Dominic is so proud looking down from heaven at his grandson and his namesake too.
I miss you my baby boy, every minute of everday!!!Remember the puppy Shih Tzu you brought to the house to show us because you wanted to buy it for Lollie--but
her mom would not let her have it, well guess what. I might get one just like it. With Toni Lynn and Presley gone, Jadon and Victoria in school and Dad is fixing to work a turn around at the plant with Jason, I really think I need something to occupy my mind. Yes, I know son, I can just here you say, OH MY GOD MA ! Heather and I went to TJMAX yesterday and along side the road was a big sign 'SHIH TZU PUPPIES FOR SALE" well, Heather
stopped. The man was like go ahead
pick one up and when I did she put her head down on my shoulder and I started to cry, ( I cry alot these days but you already know that). I
then asked the man how much and he
told me. I looked at Heather and said your dad would have a fit if I paid that for a dog!!! So, needless to say we left. But I can't stop thinking about that little puppy. Talk to dad for me maybe you could convience him to get me this puppy. Rachel "Rosie"
has one just like it and she said
it is the smartest breed of dogs. Even Uncle Keith spoils it. Your nanny Glenda told me that Roxie their puppy gives them so much unconditional love!! Lord knows I need some now.
Hugs and Kisses Baby Boy--watch over Lollie Pop in school and please, please, please watch over this family!!! WE LOVE AND MISS YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH!!! Let me know somehow if I realllllllly need a puppy!!!!
Love,
MA

Blake,
A beautiful baby boy was born today on September 3, 2007. Don and Tiffany had a son today and called him Dominic Blake DeBenedetto (7 pounds and 11 ounces). He has big hands and big feet just like you did. Your mom and dad cried (tears of joy for Don and Tiffany). What a beautiful name just like our two angels in Heaven.
Love you,

Baby Boy,
Dad and I went to your grave today. It hurts so bad knowing that my baby boy is in a casket in the ground!! I want to just take my hands and dig up the dirt and get you out. I'm selfish I want you here with us. Dad keeps telling me it's only your earthly body there. Your spirit is with Jesus. I need to know that!! I need to know your alright. Everyone keeps telling me life goes on==take one day at a time! Well that's easier said than done!! They haven't lost a child
so precious to them. They don't know how it feels. They don't understand how I feel. And I hope they never HAVE too.
I got a wedding invitation from Justin yesterday. He's getting married in October.
Please come to me in my dreams and let me know your alright!!!
I love you my son, I'm crying so much I can't even see the keys to type!!
Hugs and kisses
Love you,

Blake,
I've been looking for a video of your 3rd b-day party and I finally found it. Ashley,Karli, and I watched it Thursday night. It was so funny and sad at the same time. It was at Fun Fair Park. You were dressed so cute with a little jumper outfit, probably Polo or Tommy H..... Heather and D'Lynn were some little hot mamas ready to go out that day. The hair doos that Heather, D'Lynn, and myself had back in the day were so funny to look at. We all had poofy hair.Your Mom's hair was down to her waist( beautiful as ever). Maw Maw and Paw Paw Zieto and Maw Maw and Paw Paw A.J. was also on the video. The one thing that I remember back when you were little at this party was that you loved the Dallas Cowboys. Aunt Pam bought you a Dallas Cowboy football that year for your b-day. When you opened up my gift you said, "A FOOTBALL", you were so exited. It was cute that you told everyone thank you after you opened every gift. You were so polite and you were only 3. Yes, your mom and dad taught you well. You, Mitch, Ashley , Dustin, and Rachael were babies. Toni Lynn was yapping the whole time and taking care of her little brother. YES, we will see her on the news as a newscaster ONE DAY. That was almost 18 years ago. Well, Aunt Pam had a birthday on Thurs. You have one coming up soon and Toni Lynn as well... So, Blake, Aunt Pam loves you very much and please keep sending the butterflies and the star that shines like a cross by the moonlight every night. (Talk to Heather about that one, Mitch and I have seen it also)
Keep shining down on us all,
Hugs and kisses,
Jason needs you at this time, so give him a dream.

Hey Mama's baby boy,
As you know Corey's funeral was yesterday. Oh Blake Michael, it was so hard to attend, but Dad and I made it through. When the priest was talking it was like he was talking directly to Dad and I. When he was talking about Corey's personality, it was like he was talking about you. When he was talking about God calling home Corey at the young age of 20, it was like he was talking about you too. Corey loved to have a good time and was so loving and caring--Just like you!! And as you already know Jason picked out the same beautiful blue casket to lay Corey's earthly body to rest in ---JUST LIKE YOURS !!! I know baby boy, that you and Corey, Jeff and
Tyson are having the best time in heaven!!!
You will always be my baby boy just
like Lollie will always be your baby girl!!!
Please send me another dream. I sometimes smell your scent as if you were still here. Tonight I went outside about 10:30 to turn the water off--I was watering the grass and when I came back inside I smelled your scent as if you were in the living room!!! I remember thinking Blake's home--but then I rememberd-- and looked up at your picture above your big
screen T. V. and you were smiling at me--saying gottcha mama!!!You always loved playing jokes on me.
I LOVE AND MISS YOU MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF. WATCH OVER US MY BABY BOY
LOVE

BABY,
There are so many things going on right now and I'm so confused about 99% of them. Sometimes I feel so distracted with all of my obligations that I forget what's really going on. And other times I am so happy, But that makes me sad because i don't WANT to be happy without you. I just wish you were here to listen to me complain about everything that's going. I know you wouldn't take it the wrong way. You were the only person who every understood me 100%. I wish I could see you for just a moment. I would give up the world to be able to have one more conversaion with you. I miss you so much. It has been so hard to deal these past few weeks. It would've been much easier if you were here to hold me and tell me to "stop worrying, things wil get better." Corey Weber wrecked his bike a few fridays ago. That phone call was a flashback of the last phone call that changed my life forever. I was so scared about what I would find when I got to the hospital that night. He is ok though, jus a broken foot. The Corey Simoneaux wrecked his bike. Mrs. Carmen and I decided that he was visiting you in heaven while he was sick. I guess you showed him too much of a good time and he didn't want to leave your new home. Please ask God to have mercy on his family, they will need all the comfort they can get. I need you so much right now. There is just too much going on right now and I think I'm not the person that I used to be. I don't think I can handle all of this like I could've in the past. I LOVE YOU more than anyone, I always will. I wish you could come back to me, I just don't know what I'm suppossed to do now. Things are so complicated. I MISS YOU BAY!
Love you ALWAYS & FOREVER,
Your Babygirl
August 17, 2007
Blake,
Thanks for answering my prayers for your mom and dad (You know what I mean). The Lord has sent two more angels to be with you (Corey and Mrs. Gerri Courville). We all love and miss you very much. Please watch over Jason for us, he lost another dear relative. I just don't know how much more he can take.
Love and Kisses,

Hey Baby boy,
I know you were waiting at the gates of heaven when Jesus called
Corey home to be with him today. I
can only imagine the smile you had on your face when you saw him. I know ya'll are riding on streets of gold! Please ask Jesus to watch over corey's parents. They are going to need all the love and support from family and friends now. Believe me, baby boy, dad and I know all about how it feels to loose a child. It was hard for me to call Lollie today to tell her
about Corey. Ya'll were all such good friends. Please watch over Lollie and Jason and Heather. It's been very hard for them.
Tomorrow Corey would have been 21yrs old. Tell him we all said
Happy Birthday.
See you in my dreams my baby boy,
Love

Hey Baby boy,
Thanks so much for the dream of you I have been praying for. I prayed that if I could see you smile and your beautiful blue eyes
one more time that would be so precious to me. Well night before
last I dreamed that you were laying down, (don't know where we were) but I looked down at you and
you had the biggest smile on your face and your eyes were sparkling like crystal blue water. I remember I looked down at you and
then I woke up!!!! It was a pray answered!!!I have been praying for
only a second glimpse of you would be a miracle..TELL JESUS THANKS SO MUCH FOR THAT DREAM!!!!I miss you baby boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please watch over Corey S. --he needs a miracle. He's still in intensive care and he needs Jesus'
touch. Please ask Jesus to watch
over him, Carmen and Clint.
Love you baby boy,

Hey Baby,
I love you! But you know that. I went to the beach last week and I missed you so much while I was there. For the past three years, we have gone to the beach together and it was strange that you weren't there. The only thing that made it alittle easier was the fact that it was girls only this year.
Both Coreys wrecked thier bikes in the past 3 weeks. Corey weber is doing ok, he broke his foot. But Corey Simoneaux is in CCU and he is not doing so well. Please keep your eye on the both of them!
And, as for me... I miss you more than anyone can imagine. I have become so busy with daily things that I feel as though I am so preoccupied. I wish I could see you for just one moment so you could hug me and tell me that everything would be ok. I miss you babydoll. I love you and I still can't believe that you aren't here to tell me you love me too.
Love ALWAYS & FOREVER,

Please ask Jesus to watch over all the doctors and nurses that are taking care of him. I love you son and miss you so much. Please send some of your laughter down here, I could use some. Dad told me about his dream the other night. I want a dream like that!!!!Oh to hold you in my arms again would be wonderful even if its only in a dream....

Something that I wrote after Tyson Died. I hope this explains alittle about how I felt and how I still feel at times. Enjoy
Losing a Piece of Me!
Imagine someone has opened your chest with clawed hands,
grabbed your heart in a crushing grip and torn it from your body.
But you do not die. You remain alive, in agony.
Agony that will continue for days,
weeks, months and years.
This is what it feels like when your child dies.
This is how I felt when my son Tyson died,
at the tender age of 19, just the beginning of his adult life.
To hold the limp body of my precious child in my arms
and feel its emptiness was pain that defies words.
I sat cradling my beautiful child, knowing that I
would never again see him smile, hear his laugh
or feel his hand clinging to mine.
I would never again hold his warm body close and
breathe the scent of his hair. I would never know the
person he would have grown up to be.
I walked away knowing that I had seen and held my child for
the last time.
I wondered why I still lived, and how I was supposed to keep going.
I wanted to die; I wasn't suicidal- it's just that the only way to end
my pain was death, and I ached to hold him in my arms again.
Never again will I feel "Whole."
My whole future is flavored by the loss of my son.
A part of me went with him, and a gaping hole exists
that his warm presence once filled.
I asked the questions that no one could answer;
Why did he die?
Why not me instead?
Death has struck close to me once- what if it happens again?
What do I do now?
How will I manage?
Why am I still here?
I am riding an emotional roller coaster. One moment I feel I am
managing well - the next I am curled up in a corner pleading with God
to take me, right now. I go for periods where I am doing well and think
"Okay, I've accepted it." Then, out of the blue, it hits me anew-
"He's dead. God, he's really dead" And the roller coaster ride begins again.
Gradually, I know that the lows aren't going to be as low as the day before
and I will rise from them quicker.
Then just when I think I am cruising on level ground,
it drops out from under me yet again.
I do this over and over and over,
but living with it will gradually become easier,
and I even believe that one day I will live a "Normal life" again
even though it will be a new kind of normality.
I will never forget Tyson. He will live forever in my heart and in my
memories. Death makes him no less important or a part of my life.
Living with the fact that my child has died does not mean forgetting.
It means knowing and accepting that he is gone, while still holding
close my precious memories. It means that my love for him does not
change, but that I can't allow my grief to over-rule my life forever.
It's about remembering Tyson would not expect nor want me
to spend the rest of my life in misery.
My new normality is not necessarily an unhappy one.
Tyson's life and death are part of what make me who I am. It has an
immense impact on the way I look at life,
and although I wish he was still here,
I know that I have grown from my experience.
I love you my dear child.
You were my only child.
I pray that you know that life without you here is difficult
But the lives that you touched while on this earthly plane
Are forever changed!
Love,
Mama

Blake,
I have been thinking of you alot lately. Nannie spent Monday in the woods with Mike and Paw Paw A.J. looking at some hunting property in Erwinville. Uncle Keith and Mike left on the four wheeler to scope the area. You came into my mind about how much you loved four wheeling and the outdoors. If he buys the acreage, I am going to put one of your pictures hanging on the wall at the camp so we will feel you are here with us. You always lived your life to the fullest and I praise Jesus for that.
Paw Paw will be the Big 80 on Saturday, please watch over him.
We all miss you so much especially your beautiful eyes and smile.
Watch over all of us and send us plenty of butterflies. Everytime I see a butterfly I think of Aunt Pam and you.
I pray the Lord will give us strength to live to the fullest like you did each and every day. Blake, I pray your mom and dad can do this because they deserve being happy again. Touch their hearts with happiness and make them have peace again. They are two beautiful people with so much to live for. Give them nights of rest and dreams of you, this is what I pray for each and every night.
Love and Hugs,
Nannie Lynn

Hey Blake,
I told the story to Mitch and Renee about the butterflies that you have sent to us. Well, Mitch and Renee bought them a boat. It's not a brand new boat, but it's new to them. They went fishing yesterday and butterflies were surrounding them everywhere. Mitch told Renee, "Look, Blake is with us." They were amazed and was so happy what you sent to them on their trip. Renee called me when they got back to share the news with us. That meant alot to them and to me to know that you were with them(you're with everyone, I know for sure). You and Mitch enjoyed fishing together. I found some pics of you and Mitch fishing at Aunt Lynn's house and put them in frames. I have them on my angel shelf. Blake, I haven't talked to your mom in three days and it's worrying me.I wish that I can take away her pain but I can't. I can't imagine what your family is going through. I love your mom soooooo much and enjoy talking to her. I have to go back to work this Thursday and she will be on my mind. Please help me concentrate b/c I will worrying about her and having to leave Karli. Paw Paw will turn 80 yrs. old on Sat.
Please continue to watch over your family and I know that you will make sure that everyone will be ok. Please give Maw Maw and Paw Paw Cifreo a hug for me, I miss them very much and tell Maw Maw that I am still cooking her famous STEWED CHICKEN, YUM YUM !!!!
Pray for us all,
In Jesus name,
Aunt Pam

Hey Baby Boy,
Please watch over me I've had a very rough week. Reality has hit
me hard son. I miss you so much
and love you so much. Toni Lynn and Presley moved out this week too. Dad and I are finally alone
but, it's too quite here. I miss Presley's sense of humor (just like
her mom). Thank God their only five minutes away. I might even try and drive to her apt. HAHA! I
know your laughing at that huh son?
I do feel your presence here everyday. Please watch over us.
Hugs and kisses my baby boy,

Well Blake I finally emailed your mom.
I know that you and Tyson are up there together and thinking why didn't I contact your mom before. I don't have an answer to that. Do you remember that night that you spent the night here and you and Tyson ran out of Tyson's room and tried to scare me? You both had me going and I really believed that ya'll heard something outside and you both were too scared to go look outside to see if someone was there and ya'll wanted me to go outside and see if someone was actually there. I really believed you both.
Remember when ya'll use to come in after going out and would be eating Jack in the Box........I have so many good memories of you.
Tell Tyson how much I miss him but, most of all how very much I love him.
Pray for me and your family, they miss and love you so much.
Hugs and Kisses............

MY PAIN CANNOT GET ANY WORSE THAN NOT HAVING MY BABY BROTHER WITH ME EVERYDAY. I GO OUTSIDE EVERYNIGHT AND THIER IS ALWAYS A SHINNING STAR IN THE SAME PLACE IN THE SKY. IT SHINES SO BRIGHT IT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE A CROSS SHINNING BRIGHT AS EVER.I MISS YOU COMMING OVER HERE EVERYDAY TO SEE WHAT I WOULD BE COOKING, OR JUST TO TALK OR MAKE ME LAUGH. I WAS NOT GOOD SISTER TO YOU WHEN YOU WAS GROWING UP.

WHICH NOW I LOOK BACK AT ALL THE WORK YOU DID AND I AM GLAD YOU BOUGHT WHAT YOU WANTED B/C YOU CANNOT TAKE ANYTHING WITH YOU TO HEAVEN.

Hey baby boy,
It has been 8 months today since you were taken from us. I was browsing through a magazine and came across this poem. I don't know who wrote it but I couldn't have written it any better from my heart myself.
If tears could build a stairway and
memories a lane I would walk right up to Heaven and bring you back again
No farewell words were spoken, no
time to say goodbye, you were gone
before I knew it and only God knows why
My heart still aches with sadness
and secret tears still flow, what
it meant to love you, no one can
ever really know
Since you'll never be forgotten, I
pledge to you today, A hollowed
place within my heart is where you'll always stay.
I loved you from the moment I found
out I was going to have a baby! And
I still love you even though your
gone. No one can ever take away
my love for you baby boy, you are
instilled in my heart forever. I
can't believe it's been 8 months today, and the pain of losing you has not seized one moment. Days have turned into weeks and weeks
into months, but it seems like
yesterday.
Watch over Lollie, she's taken on
another job! We are going to give Lollie alittle birthday party on Saturday. I know you will be looking down from heaven at us on Lollie's special day.
Hugs and kisses--see you in my dreams
Love,
Mama

Hey Honey Bunches....
....."Of Oats!" Haha. I miss you so much my love. I have been thinking about us alot lately, and for some reason I've been thinking about how we used to pick out kid names for our future babies. (I know, I'm silly) Yesterday, I think I must have called 7 different boys "Blake" by accident. You've just been on my mind alot lately. So I start my new job at the hospital on thursday (cause I just don't have enough on my mind right now, you know?!?! haha) I love you with my whole heart and I will for as long as I live. No one will EVER be able to change that!
I love you sweetheart,
Love,
Your Babygirl

Blake, After just reading what your mom and Haylee wrote, I am shedding so many tears I don't think that I can type but I'll try.
It was Maw Maw's Ethel's B-Day yesterday. The whole family was together. Maw Maw turned 78 years old and Blake, your cousin Mitch will turn 21 tomorrow and Aunt Pam will also celebrate her 26th wedding anniversary. Blake, Mitch reallllllllllllly misses you alot. Blake , we miss you very much.
Tears falling
We Love You,
One more thing,
Aunt Pam thought about you the whole time she was at Gulf Shores. Thanks for watching over us.

Hey baby boy,
Happy 4th of July son! It's July already. I can't believe its been
seven months already since you were taken from us. It seems like
last night. I miss you more than life itself. I went Sunday to your grave and put fresh flowers on it. I put purple and gold for LSU!! As I was changing them my tears kept falling on your headstone cleaning the dust off your picture. I love you so much
I think about you every minute of
everyday. Everybody I talk to says
that time will ease the pain. But
for me and your dad it has'nt. Not
even time can take away this pain.
I ask myself everyday why did this happen to you, why were you taken away from us???
Please watch over your dad at work.
Yes, he's trying to work. Jason
needed someone to work in the scaffolding yard, so he hired your
dad. He'll be 57 years old this month, trying to do a young man's job in this heat. He wanted to work so he could keep his mind busy. He wanted to buy me a puppy to keep my mind busy, I said no puppy I want a pool, so he had a
pool put in . It came out beautiful, but there's alot of work to do around it. I wish you were here to help us landscape it.
I love you baby boy, I hope and
pray I'll see you in my dreams.
Love,
MA

Baby,
Last week was really hard. Our 4 year anniversary was on monday June 25. And this monday, July 2, was the 3 year anniversary of Jeff's accident. Needless to say, it has been a really tough few days for me. I miss you so much. I had a dream about you last night, but mom woke me up this morning and then I couldn't remember all the details. I do remember that it was about me, you and Corey Weber hanging out like we used to. I really do love him just as much as you loved him, and he misses you just as much as I miss you. I can't believe it would have been four years for me and you! I still remember our first kiss like it was yesterday! haha. You were such a shy little boy, and over the past four years you turned into a beautiful man who would have givin up the world for me. "I love you" and it takes my breath away when I think about how you will never be here to whisper that in my ear again. I have yet to come up with any profound conclusion as to why this has all happened to you and me. But I do know that we WILL be together again one day, and I do know that, although it may seem like forever, our lives on this earth are just a blink of the eye compared to the eternity that we will get to spend with each other once we are in heaven together. I love you with all my heart and THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever have enough strength to give another person my full undivided love. I feel as though I will never be able to share "our" love with anyone else. I love you, with every ounce of my being, I love you!
Love ALWAYS & FOREVER,
Your Babygirl,
~ME~
Miss you forever and always Love your cousin, Rachel

Hey Blake,
On Thursday, Aunt Pam, Ashley, Karli and some friends are leaving for Gulf Shores for a few days. Aunt Pam really needs to get away. We will be staying at the Phoenix where we had so many good times. You will be with us and we will be thinking of you the whole time we are there. I wish that the whole family could go to be together. Please send us lots of sunshine and butterflies while we are down there. Watch over us.
Missing you,

Hey My love,
Last weekend was the dance recital. It was good this year so I was excited. Our lyrical dance was dedicated to you and it was beautiful. I can not even tell you how nervous I was to perform it on stage in front of all those people. Everyone said it was beautiful though. I accidentally slapped Angele in the middle of the routine, haha. I don't know how it happened because we've never done that before! But the dance was still perfect.
So, now that dancing is over for the summer, I got another job. I'm not sure when I'll be starting but I'll be working at OLOL on the Respiratory ICU floor. I'm excited.
I MISS YOU SO MUCH MICHAEL. I WANT YOU BACK EVERY MINUTE OF EVERYDAY. It still seems so unreal. I hate that you're not here when I cry. It's been raining a lot lately and I hate that you're not here to snuggle on the couch with me and watch TV while it thunders. I miss holding your hand in the movies and I miss laughing with you about everything! I hate that you can’t be my date to all the weddings that I have been invited to lately. I MISS YOU MORE THAN LIFE!! I wish my tears were worth something, I wish they would make a difference. But in the meantime, I will just keep looking through my memories of us and keep trying to relive them in my dreams. I LOVE YOU.
Love ALWAYS & FOREVER,
Your Babygirl

Baby Boy,
Your babygirl danced her heart out
last night at her dance recital. I felt your presence there the whole night. You had the best seat in the house from heaven! I know you are so proud of her. The whole family went to see her dance. Even dad, you know he doesn't do well at dance recitals, but your babygirl was dancing so he went and enjoyed watching her. He even wore a tie and I didn't tell him to. Corey and his girlfriend came too. Lollie danced to the song
"Hurt" and I cried the through the whole song. It was so beautiful!
On the way home last night, Jadon
was telling stories about when you
babysat for them. He said you know
mawmaw, I have many good memories of Uncle Blake. I said I know baby
and their your memories and nobody can ever take them away from you. They are yours forever to keep of
Uncle Blake. It was so touching to hear him talk about you like that.
We all miss you and love you very much. See you in my dreams! Please watch over us!
Love you forever,

Hey My Love,
The dress rehersal for the dance recital was last night. I think I did pretty good, but my mind was preoccupied thinking about you all night. The girls started talking about the afterparty from last year and how much fun we all had. I reminded everyone of how you pushed me in the pool!!! Haha. It's going to be so strange to not have you there to watch me perform on saturday night. But I know you will be watching from heaven, And I know you are going to cry when you see our lyrical dance! Words can't even describe how beautiful it is. And Mrs. Tessa put an entire page in the book deticated to me and you!! It is perfect! I love you so much. And thank you for the dream the other night! It was so funny and sooooo "us"!!!
Love ALWAYS & FOREVER,
Your Babaygirl

Baby Boy,
We all miss you so much! Last weekend was Victoria's, Presley's,
Heather's and Toni Lynn's dance
recital. They did the daddy dance
again like you did with Presley last year. I cried through the whole thing. I didn't even know
anyone that was dancing. It brought back so many memories of last year. How when Presley's daddy couldn't dance with her, you
didn't even hesitate to take his
place. You have such a kind, loving heart. Always willing to give.
Blakey, mommy misses you so much.
I still can't believe your gone.
It's been over six months and it
seems like yesterday.
Remember the popcorn tree we had
in our backyard at our house on
Council. You built a tree house
in it. Well, before they planted
grass on your grave a popcorn tree
came up in the dirt. You planted us a tree for our new house! We
pulled it up and took it home and
planted it. Thank you baby boy
for the tree. Dad is so proud of it.
I miss you my baby boy and love you so much. Hopefully I will see
you in my dreams like Ashley did.
You told her you were o.k and that
you were with Uncle Dominic and hugged her. She said when she woke
up it was like she could still feel
your arms around her. I pray that
you will someday come to me in my dreams like that. How wonderful that would be to hold you in my arms again.
Lollie came to see us today. Watch
over your baby girl she loves you
very very much.
Love you my baby boy,
Ma---Mama

Hey Blake,
Just wanted to thank you for the butterfly you sent to me and Karli yesterday in the swimming pool. We played with it for at least a hour.. I told Karli that was from you; that you were with us. Send us more. It was beautiful. I'm going to try to see your MOM soon.
Love you,

Hey, Baby boy--it's your mommy.
It's taken me six months and nine
days to have the strength to finally write this. It's 2:45 in
the morning and I can't sleep so
I thought I'd try again to write.
(I've tried several times, but
I could never get passed Hey, Baby
Boy. I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!
WE ALL DO! Dad and I ask ourselves
daily why did this happen ? I have
always heard that the death of a
child is a feeling that no one can
understand unless they have been through it. Your heart breaks and
nothing can mend it. I think about
you every minute of everyday, and
ask myself why did God take away
my baby boy. Why,why,why? I know
that you're not suppose to question
God, but I guess I'm selfish b/c
I want you here with us. We were
there when you took your first breath when you came into this world. I am so sorry, son, that we
were not there when you took your
last breath. You were already in
heaven with Jesus when we got the
news that it was you in that horrible accident that Dad and I
saw but could not get thru. I
talked to one of the witnesses that
helped pull you out from under the
truck. He said you were so brave,
I thanked him from the bottom of my
heart for helping you. His name
is Mike Loyd. Thank you son for bringing Lollie (Haylee) into our lives. She loves you very very much. I know that you are so proud of her. Keep sending strength down to her to finish nursing school. God took away my baby boy, and gave me another beautiful daughter. She is part of the Zieto family now and forever.
She's one of our girls! We all love her very much.
There's still so many questions we have about the accident.
Blake Michael, I know that you are
not in that grave at Resthaven, only your broken body is, but you are with Jesus in heaven. That's what helps me through the day. Please watch over us. You know we
need it. Your memories will live in our hearts forever and ever. I took a leave of absence from work . Jennifer and Phyllis have been so good to me during this time. ( I really do need time off to grieve. ) Only time and God
can mend a broken heart.
I would like to thank everyone for all the love, prayers, food, flowers and donations made to Blake's memorial. I would like to thank everyone that helped Blake
at the accident and after. Thank you for helping someone you didn't even know, yet so precious to his family, friends and fiance. There is a special place in heaven for people like you.
Baby boy, please keep smiling down
on us and let your beautiful blue
eyes shine down on us..until we
see each other again and I can hold
you in my arms and tell you how much we miss you and love you,
until then ......................
I will see you in my dreams and in
my memories......................
Love,
Ma (mommy)

(April 17, 2007)
Hey Michael,
I thought about you ALOT today. I don't know why, but today just seemed different in a strange way. It was weird, kind of. Absolutely everything that I did, or saw, or heard, or felt, sparked my memory of you.
I got another job a while back. I'm babysitting for a family that has three young kids (5, 3, & 2 years old). I love them to death and I know you would love them too, just like you loved all of my baby cousins. I was babysitting them today and the 2 little girls were brushing my hair and making me a "princess" they said. The whole time, all I could think about was how you liked to play with my hair when we watched TV and how you said you didn't mind spending all your money on me because "a princess should always be treated like a princess, no matter what it costs!" And what a coincidence…Their babysitter use to be Heidi Landry. Mrs. Brittany, that’s the mom’s name, was a big help for Heidi whenever Jeff passed away. She is such a doll and she is always worried about how I’m doing.
I also thought about you today when I went outside tonight to roll my windows up in my car. The geckos are everywhere outside our house! I get the giggles every time I see them because I can just see you leaving my house and running to get out from underneath the carport because you were scared of the geckos!!!! Me and Angele found Eddie Murphy’s Delirious at Wal-mart the other day for $14.00! I was so excited that I bought it! It was kind of sad though because we were walking out of the store and I told Angele “I can’t wait to get home, Blake is going to be so excited that I bought this!” And then I realized what I said.
I miss you so much and I think about that weekend all the time. I know we are supposed to just believe that God has a plan for everyone but I am still struggling with all the “what ifs” and “I should have’s” from that weekend. I haven’t been sleeping well lately so please watch over me. I’m exhausted and really tired so thank goodness I don’t have school this summer!
I love you Forever and Always!!!
Love your Babygirl

Hi Blake,
Just wanted to let you know that everyone did well yesterday for Mother's Day. Maw Maw had a feast. Paw Paw is going to the doctor today. Pray for Paw Paw's feet and finger to heal and give Maw Maw the strength to go have her tests done on June 15th. She's a little nervous. I know that you will be watching over them. Ashley finally got a new car. She's so excited about. She was saying yesterday that she regrets going to Jadon's b-day party. There's never a day that goes by that we don't think and talk about you. Watch over us in Jesus name.

Blake Michael,
Well today was Mother's Day and we
all got together at Maw Maws house. It was real nice to have everybody together but there was some emptiness there. It was because you were not there. family get togethers are like that now and I guess that is how it will be always . Haylee came too and we were real glad to see her.The minute I saw her she gave me a big hug and said hey Nanny ( just like you used to ) ..(That means a lot to me that she still calls me Nanny.)I think all of this is still very very hard for her and its still hard for everyone else too. please watch over your family and give them all the strength that they need.
We miss you & love you
Blake Michael
Love you,

Hey Babydoll,
Well... I still haven't found my pearls. I have come to the realization that I probably never will. I am missing you so much. And I've been missing your family too. I've been making myself so preoccupied lately that I haven't left any time to visit with them.
All I want to do is cry when I give myself a chance to stop and look around. Its been almost 6 months now, wow.... half a year..., And I still wait for you to call and I still have such a strong need to see you. I carry around our pictures EVERY where I go. And I talk about you 24/7. And Our friends think about you all the time too. I think they just don't really know how to talk to me about it.
Every day that passes still seems so unreal. Sometimes when I look at pictures or listen to your voice on your voicemail, it still doesn't hit me that you are really gone. I would give anything to have you back. These past six months have seemed to creep by, and as slow as they have seemed, they have flown by equally as fast. I would re-live all of these lonely days in a blink of an eye if I could spend that last friday with you one more time. I would re-live the entire six months if I could just have that last 24 hours together with you again. I love you, I love you, I love you.
Love ALWAYS & FOREVER,
You Babygirl,

Hi Blake,
I was looking for pictures the other day for a scrap book that I needed to make for school. I found several pictures of you and Mitch at Gulf Shores and at Aunt Lynn's house that were so funny. Mitch and Renee came to spend the weekend with us and we talked about you alot. Ashley was very right when she wrote how much we think and talk about you on a daily basis.
We Love You,
Hugs,kisses and more hugs,
Missing you,
Aunt Pam
In Love FOREVER & ALWAYS... Love Your Babygirl!

Baby,
I so desperately want to have you back with me. I have been doing alot of fun things with our friends lately, but no matter how great of a time I'm having, there is ALWAYS something missing and I always feel so incomplete. It so strange, you know, to go out and then come home without you. Or to not be worried about having my cell phone with me at all times, because I'm not looking forward to certain phone calls anymore. I love you so much. I pulled out our old photo albums today (you know me and my pictures). We look like little kids in some of the pictures! We were so cute together... dark hair and dark skin, pretty smiles, sparkling eyes... Now I'm just bragging! haha. But seriously, we would have had beautiful children! This entire situation is so surreal. I absolutely hate it. My wishful thinking is clashing with reality; therefore, making my thoughts and feelings very confusing. I want to be happy, I really do, and I know that all you ever wanted was for us to be happy. I'm trying Blake. I'm just not sure how to think about anything else but you. I miss you, I hope you're ok. I love you, I love you, I love you.
Love ALWAYS & FOREVER,
Your Babygirl
PS. The pearls are still missing... I know, I know.... I can hear you saying it, "Haylee Renee! You nver remember anything!" And it only gets worse! My digital camera you gave me is broken now! Ugh... I'm so aggravated! Haha

Blake's Baby Girl,
Haylee, pray to St. Anthony (Catholic Saint) to find your earring. I don't know if you are Catholic, but as a young child I always prayed to him when I lost something. My mom always told me to do this and it always worked. I will pray that St. Anthony and Blake will help you find them, please let me know when you find them. I have been thinking of you alot lately. I loved the picture of you and Blake's family on the cruise. What an awesome picture of all of you. I do know what you are feeling and I promise with time it will get better. Please come by and see me when you get a chance. If you ever want to swim or just lay out just come by. We are all so proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love,
Nanny Lynn (Sis No. 1)

Blake,
Please, please, please help me find my pearl earings that you bought for me! I had them on Easter Sunday and took them off in the living room and now they are no where to be found. :( Please say a prayer that I will find them. I feel half naked without them on.... I've worn them EVERY day since you bought them for me (cause you thought they were cute with my scrubs! haha) I need them back, I cried this morning when I couldn't find them.
I thought of something today that I can't believe I haven't thought of yet! Brittany and I were holding hands to say a prayer this afternoon and she slightly squeezed my hand. I chill came over my body and my instinct was to squeeze her's back one, two, three times..... I, Love, You! The last time I held anyone's hand was the night of Nov. 17, 2006 when you squeezed I love you while we were in the car right before I left to go home. It made me smile so much today because It just brought back one of the MANY things only you and I did together on an EVERYDAY basis. I can't believe I haven't thought of that, but then again, I haven't held your hand in quite some time.
Please help me find my pearls... they mean so much to me... they were a part of you! I LOVE YOU!
ALWAYS & FOREVER,
~me~

Happy Easter Blake!
We sure would have enjoyed eating crawfish with you.
Soon I will be moving in the apartments across from your grave.
Please protect me and that also means Me and Corey will be over their ALOT now.
Love you buddy!

Blake,
Happy Easter Blake Michael!!!!!!!!
Please shine down on your mom and dad. They are missing you more and more each day. I pray that you will give them strength and happiness. They are two very special people who didn't deserve the loss of their baby boy. Everything happens for a reason and hopefully it will make all of us stronger people at heart. We love and miss you.
Happy Easter.
Love you,
Nanny Lynn

Hey Baby!
I just got home from our cruise to Cozumel. I missed you the whole time. Is it ok for me to try to think of other things so that my mind can have a break from pretending that you are coming back? It makes me feel so guilty that I would do such a thing, but I also feel so guilty about having fun without you. The cruise was very relaxing, but I'm tired still. I wish so much that I would've been able to experience that trip with you! I miss you so much & I can't wait to see you in my dreams tonight! I LOVE YOU MORE THAN LIFE!
Love ALWAYS & FOREVER,
Your Babygirl

Guess What!?!?!
I made a 92% on my Mental Health exam yesterday! (Maybe its because I'm crazy too! Haha!) I was so excited to start off the semester with a good grade because last semester was pretty bad. The sad thing was that I coulnd't call & bother you at work to tell you how good I did.... And then you would get in trouble from Jason for being on the phone! ;) Anyway, I'm always thinking of you, even when I'm doing normal, everyday things. I'm sorry I have been so distant lately. I'm trying to figure out what I need to be doing right now. I'm trying to figure out how to be the "Haylee" that I was when you were here with me, because I do not like the "Haylee" that I have been lately. I just want to be that happy person again. I miss you with all my heart & soul, Every min of every day! I LOVE YOU BABY!
Love ALWAYS & FOREVER,
Your Babygirl,

Hey My Love,
Well, your mom is taking me on a cruise and we're leaving on Thursday. I am so excited, but more sad than anything. I know that if you were still here, we probably wouldn't be going on this trip, But I would give it up in a heart beat just to have you back. It's going to be so sad to walk onto that ship without you next to me. I feel like I'm cheating everytime I do something fun that we talked about doing together. I feel like it's so not fair that I get the chance to continue our dreams and you don't get to experience them. I also don't think it's fair that you are in such a beautiful place and I don't get to experience that with you. Please watch over us on our trip and keep us safe. I wish more than anything that you were going to be there with me! I miss you!
Love ALWAYS & FOREVER,
Your Babygirl,
~me~
P.S. Your picture is now on your marker. It looks good! I love you so much Honey Bunches...... of Oats!!!!
