Hi, i just wanna say that i know that i have no memory of you but I can tell that you were loved and were a good person. I just wish we had a little bit longer (a lot) but I know you´re in a better place it just hurts. I think about you every day and I hope to be like you when I grow up. I got Skylar for you I wish you would´ve met but she is very pretty and she has your chin lol also Jaylen is a grown man now and doing his own things, i´m very proud of him. And I hope one day I´ll make you proud, i´ll take care of mama for you, you know she´s my world. I know you´re watching over us. I miss you more and more everyday.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
Your daughter Kyah.

My R.I.P. Son, Skyler.

I have a few wonderful things to tell you, Sky. The 11st of the Sept. is your resting peacefully as I type as my honorable son.

I had a great memories that you and I have been together. You were the best friend and son I ever have. The reason is I say things about you.

Here are:
BEST CHILDHOOD: You grew and grew. Were funny and smart guy. Talk with a good friends to experience the life you were in. Also I taught you SIGN LANGUAGE AND DEAF CULTURE.

BEST TEEN: You grew and became so handsome. Understanding what I tried to explain the world wasn't funny that I learned through as I didn't want you to be alike me until you got older enough and used your light bulb on to see and understand what the world was.

BEST TEACHER/ADVISER: You ALWAYS taught and advised us to understand what was from the wrong to the right to live. I was very proud of you for teaching your sister, families and friends that you have learned and experienced.

FURTHERMORE, I WAS VERY PROUD OF YOU BEING A ARMY TO PROTECT THE US COUNTRY.
YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN IN MY HEART. REMEMBER I ALWAYS LOVE YOU IN NO MATTER IF YOU ARE ALIVE OR REST PEACEFULLY. I KNEW YOU HAVE MET YOUR GREAT GRANDMOTHER, ELALIA REESE IN SWEET HOME AS HEAVEN AND TELL HER BIG HELLO AND WILL MEET Y'ALL UP THERE ONE DAY.

LOVE ALWAYS, MOTHER, BRIDGETT REESE

SKYLER WAS MY FRIEND, MY HOMIE, N MY BROTHA, SOME0NE I COULD TALK TO WHEN I HAD A PROBLEM AND SOMEONE WHO WOULD GIVE ME HIS ALL IF HE COULD. HE WAS SO SMART N VERY WISE. HE HAD THE LOVE N THE VISIONS OF A MAN WHOM WAS ALL ABOUT FAMILY N MAKING CHANGES FOR THE BETTER THINGS IN LIFE. HE WAS YOUNG BUT NEVER DUMB. HE TAUGHT ME A LOT IN LIFE N HE MADE SURE THAT HE SPRINKLED A LITTLE PIECE OF HIS WISDOM INTO EVERYBODY HEARTS THAT KNEW HIM. I NEVER KNEW A SINGLE PERSON TO DISLIKE MY BROTHA N IF THEY DID THEN THEY COULDNT POSSIBLY KNOW THE MAN THAT I KNOW. WE DIDNT GET TO SPEND AS MUCH TIME AS I WOULD HAVE LIKED US TO TOGETHER, BUT THE TIMES WE HAD WE ALWAYS SO FUN. I DONT UNDERSTAND Y GOD TOOK U FROM US N I PROBABLY NEVER WILL BUT ITS JUST ME BEING SELFISH. U WERE A GREAT ROLE MODEL FOR MEN N WOMEN, YOUNG N OLD. LOSING U PUT UP A ROAD BLOCK N MY LIFE BUT U WOULDNT WANT ME TO BE UNSUCCESSFUL IN LIFE IF U WERE HERE. IN UR LEGACY I WILL B THE BEST MOTHER, THE BEST DAUGHTER, THE BEST WIFE, THE BEST AUNTIE, N THE BEST WOMAN I CAN B. U LEFT BEHIND 3 BEAUTIFUL STRONG WOMEN N A SON WHOM I PROMISE TO LOVE N TO BE THERE FOR WHENEVER THEY NEED ME. I NEVER GOT THE CHANCE TO TELL U THAT I LOVE U N APPRECIATE EVERYTHING U WERE. I NEVER THOUGHT THE DAY I WOULD HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE WOULD COME SO SOON BUT I KNOW IT WAS GODS WILL. JUST KNOW THAT I LOVE U N I HOPE TO C U AGAIN SOMEDAY. IF THERE IS ANY MAN IN THE WORLD I WOULD WANT MY KIDS TO LOOK UP TO IT WOULD B U.

WE LOVE U FOREVER N ALWAYS,
DREAMER, MONTERIUS, N IIMANII

Ms.Bridgette and family,
I am sorry for your loss. Skyler was a GREAT MAN and a wonderful friend. He could make the best come out of any situation. Skyler was not one to complain about life but to make life what he wanted it to be. I know in my heart that anyone that has had the opportunity to meet your son will NEVER forget him. The memories that I have of him will forever play in my mind. I will keep you all in my prayers.

Losing a child is the hardest thing a parent ever has to do. I will be praying for you and your family during this difficult time. I have a picture of Skyler when he was a baby.

My prayers go out to the family for the lost of Skyler. I was remembering back in the day when we were growing up together in San Antonio, Tx. He was my God brother and friend! I will miss him deeply , I just wish we made time to say hi and bye to each other I cared for him alot and loved him. The Lord, has taken him from this sinful world and placed him in a peaceful place now. FAMILY please stay together thur this time and PRAY for one another.
