Dearest Kyle I never thought we'd reach this point where Grandma would be with you - I pray that you both found each other - and along with so many of our family now - Daddy, Bob, Mama's Mom and Dad and brother, Aunt Millie and Aunt Patty, Michaels sister and uncle and so many friends who have joined you. When Michael and I watch our wedding video I am so proud that you walked me down the aisle - you looked so handsome and I felt so special to have you there. Please take care of each other - and don't forget Scamper, Honey, Brandy, Lizzie, Cubbie, Molly, Princess Puck, Jasmine, Victoria, Freud, Kubbie, Megan, Pasha, CoCo, Snow, Buddy the Cat, Inky, Tricia, Cali, Samson and all the others who were part of our family - with four legs.

I love you Kyle and I always will please give Grandma a special hug today. I love you both always and always, bushels and bushels and 154,798,336 X 998, 645,128 times! Love Aunt LN

Dearest Kyle -- its impossible to understand that its now been seven years since you left us -- we think about you every day -- Grandma, your Mom and I love you forever.

Kyle-- I'm fixing up Grandma's house so she can sell it -- Im saving everything that I have found that was yours -- so that your Mom and Grandma will always have them. I cry every time I find another picture of you -- and i hope you'll understand that we're doing this so that we'll be able to take care of Grandma no matter what her needs are in the future.

Kyle, you always made me laugh in ms. condit's class. I thought you had magnetic energy. The last time I saw you I didn't hug you when you asked me to. I just never easily believe people care about me enough for me to let anyone in. I should've just told you I thought you were amazing and not have cared if you ended up teasing me about it later. R.i.p.

December 27, 2013

Dear Kyle: We miss you, my grandson - every day, but especially at holidays. Bob & I had a delicious Christmas ham dinner with your Mom! Megan naps near your swing - being a "Guard Cat". (PS -Am going to visit LN next week in Md., haven't seen her in over a year. xo Always, Grandma

April 2, 2013

Dearest Kyle-Wyle...it's now three years and fours days since you left us. A lot has changed but our love for you has never changed. We miss you. Grandma and Megan sit outside and read books, thinking of you, watching your swing and knowing that you are close by when it moves without any wind being near. Freud is now with you. Cubbie is now almost nine years old and he still remembers when you helped walk him when you visited. We watch you on video when you walked me down the aisle, and think of you daily and every night in our prayers. We will never stop missing you and never stop loving you. I love you 22,475,858,888 x456,3223298910 times. Aunt LN

Dear Kyle Andrew, my grandson

Two years ago, you unexpectedly and tragically left us, and we never had a chance to say 'good-bye'. You are missed by all of your family and things shall never be the same.

I always told everyone at my office, that I must be the luckiest Grandma ever, because we were fortunate to live nearby, so that your grandfather and I could be a part of your life. You had special relationships and special memories with each of us: Your Mom; your Aunt LN; your grandfather, and me. We each cherish our memories.

It was a pleasure having your companionship. It had become a habit for us to sit outside at night time in lawn chairs, each with a book, but sharing the same footstool. We looked at the sky and stars and talked and/or argued over lots of topics - but listened to each other! You were trying to figure out the direction for your own future - sharing your dreams, ambitions, problems, and fears. I was still trying to adjust to retirement, and the lack of work companionship.
Sometimes the generational gap wasn't really a "gap" at all - other times, it was as deep as the Grand Canyon. But I think we both learned from each other, and respected each other.

I still sit outside with my coffee and newspaper or book - rain or sunshine, winter or summer. I miss you so much, but sometimes, I still "feel" that you are nearby. It comforts me. When there is no breeze and not a leaf is moving, but your tree swing begans to gently move back and forth - then it seems only logical that you are visiting.

My heart shall always remember our standard parting remark to each other: I would say - "I love you, Kyle Andrew - Always and Forever" - and you would reply: "I love you, Grandma, Forever and Always." And we'd laugh as we gave each other a hug.

I don't know why God wanted you so soon, but I know I shall see you again - and you'll be waiting for me on our rainbow. xo Grandma

We love you and miss you so very very much
Grandma sits by the pool and remembers all the times you spent together and when your swing moves we know you are there. I hope you have heard my prayers and know that you are missed every hour of every day

Kyle. You will Always be missed and always be loved

It's been about two years and I still think about you all the time. You were a huge influence on my life. I remember all of the good times we had at starting at BIMS and again in high school. I realize now that I never wrote in here before, but you will always be in my heart.

April 3, 2011

Dearest Kyle Wyle -- I was too upset on the 29th to write anything -- I can't believe its been a year -- we miss you so much and we love you with all of our hearts and always will...Kyle -- I know you're in heaven because you are an angel -- please know there is not a single day or hour that I do not send you my love. I miss you, Love always, Aunt LN

Dearest Kyle, I love you so much. You said once when I found you in Georgia "I knew you would always find a way to find me and get me". But this time I can't, I don't know how, and it's breaking my heart. You know I would do anything for you son. It's just this time, you went somewhere I can't follow yet. But I am with you everyday, I have never left you. xo Momo

Dearest Kyle Wyle. It's been three months since you left us and it feels like 3 years or 3 hours. Three years in that it seems like forever and three hours because the pain is still so intense.

Kyle, Remember BIMS? I remember your humor and supreme wit that got us into trouble in class :) I remember not seeing you for five years, then meeting back up with you in the middle of a huge crowd in Jax beach at the sound of music showing. You were like a beacon of light in that crowd to me. You will always be loved and remembered.

It has taken me a while to come up with something to tell you or to write about you that wouldn't take an amount of time equal to our friendship. I miss you like crazy but i feel you watching over me. I know that your physically gone but your energy around me is what i think your trying to tell me that your ok now and i know your going to be there waiting to greet me when i also get home. I just wanted you to know i love you man. you have always been and will always remain my brother.

Kyle you were an amazing person. Kind, caring, intelligent and full of love. I wish I was able to have another chance to get to know you more. I know you are with God now and that all of your pain is gone. All of your family and friends love you very much now and forever.

I send my deepest sympathy to the family and wish I was close enough to them to offer any support that I could. You will all get through this, because Kyle would want you to. He shared so much love and it is still spreading even now. I will hold you all in my prayers.

I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Over the past 5 years, Kyle and Chris were very close. I had the joy of watching these two young men spend a couple years going to school, attending the prom with beautiful girls, juggling jobs, partying, and goofing off. The two of them along with other friends spent many nights here laughing and having a great time. Kyle, the bright one of the bunch, could always hold an extremely intelligent conversation with anyone. Everything he said was amazing. He was a respectful, caring, humorous teenager that grew into an amazing young man. He was always a joy to be around, and a perfect friend to my son. He will be deeply missed. God Bless you Kathleen, Beatrice, and Robert, my prayers are with you.
