It is hard to believe a year has gone by, people say time heals all wounds, I have found that it is so mind numbing to lose a child, I know you must be missing yours so much, and the grief is so strong it is almost like it happened yesterday. I am praying for you all.

Mr. and Mrs. Joswiak,
I am so sorry to hear about what had happened. I know that it has been over 7 years since I have seen any of you and you may remember me vaguely, but i remember Kyle like it was yesterday at St. John Vianney. We would stay after with Ryan, Dan, Matt, and many more and play big soccer games or tag on the jungle gym. I am only sorry to say that i did not get a chance to know what a great man he had become. I am sure he will be missed dearly! My thoughts and prayers are with your whole family. God bless.
