It's hard to believe it's been 13 years. Tyler is fresh in my mind as if he just stopped by yesterday...that goofy dance he used to do, the smile, the way he used to yell at the cat...I miss that.

Dear Fred,
No words seem appropriate and too many run through my head. I'm sorry I hadn't heard about your son to pay my respects in person but please know you and your family are in my thoughts. I don't believe I ever had the privilege of meeting Tyler and that is my loss. If he was anything like his father, he was indeed a gentle man. May your love and fond memories keep him forever close and lighten your hearts in time. Blessed Be.

Dear Fred, Laura and Family,

Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time. We are so very sorry for your loss.

Freddie and the entire Marsh family: I'm so sorry I wasn't able to be there in person, but I thought of you all many times that day. I didn't know Tyler well, but I did have the privilege to meet him a couple of summers ago when he visited with my nephew, Zack. What a sweet, sweet kid. Very happy-go-lucky. I will never forget his smile. Peace and strength to all.
