Uncle Troy, I know you have been with me through the battles I have faced the past month. I know you're with my dad every day, I know you helped him help me. There is so much love in all of our hearts for you, our family misses you more than words can say. I know you watch the boys grow up. Ty is exactly like you. When I need anything he is who I call, he protects me at all times. I know you are so proud of them all. Time does not make anything easier, you are still as heavy on our hearts. I love you so much and will cherish every memory I have of you. -syn

October 16, 2016

You have so many more with you. I know right!!! Can't figure it out. Love you still missing you.

June 22, 2016

Hey Troy,
Not even sure how I got to this page but something has drawn me here. You've definitely been on my mind a lot lately especially because of what Tammies going through now. And I know God has his plan for all of us, And I guess it's okay not to like it at times. I'm sure your making everyone laugh up there with all your never ending jokes and yelling like a maniac at all the Redskin games. I know ur super proud of all ur boys! Tyler's an amazing big brother & there all great kids. Tyler's probably going to be some rap star and I've already called dibs on managing him. Lol But on a more serious note I need you to PLEASE ask GOD to heal Tammies cancer. The kids need her and have already been through so much. The whole family needs her but especially the kids. So please ask God for a quick & speedy recovery so she can get back to being the bomb mom.com that she is. And I'll see you on the other side. Lastly, can you tell my dad we love & miss him too! Love Always, Tina xo

June 16, 2016

Nothing changes it still hurts just as bad. Not a day goes by even still we don't mention your name and talk about you. Days like today it's worse with other kids with their moms and dads at our sons 5th grade promotion and it being his birthday all he wants is you here with us we love you so very much no one comes close to you in anyway.

Love you always,
Tammie

Even six years later it still hurts as bad as it ever did. I miss you so much I try so hard to do right with our boys and I swear sometimes it feels as thou I'm letting you and them down. Everything has gotten so hard I need your strength and your guidance. Tyler try's so hard to help me with them he's so much like you I know you are so proud of him of all of them even thou they drive me crazy lol... I still get so angry your gone none knows how bad they need you they need their dad for their everyday life their football, basketball I still and never will understand why you had to leave us, leave them it's so unfair and hurts them so bad. I just wanted to tell you how much we miss and love you and I hope I'm not disappointing you I'm doing the best I can please be with us.

I can't believe tomorrow our baby boy will walk across that stage and graduate. It's so hard with you not here takin care of our boys. I wish so bad that you were here for all of this. I think of you and miss you everyday. I wonder what's going thru their minds and how much they miss with you not here. Tyler has grown into such a wonderful young man he has so much of you in him. I know your so proud of him and I wish you were here to let him know. I know how hard it is for them not having you here and it kills me. I'm trying the best I can and I know you know that please continue to watch over them and guide them with me. I know you'll be there tomorrow while he walks across that stage let him know somehow he needs that.
Miss and love you so much everyday.

I know it's been a while since I have been on here. Things have been so hectic as I am sure you can see. Me and mom were talking about you yesterday and we both broke down. It still does not get any easier with you gone. I look at the boys everyday and see you and feel you there. They are growing so fast. I know you are so very proud of them. I know you are here giving me strength to raise them everyday. I so wish you were here physically with them. I hate that they miss having you for so many things. I know you are so proud of Tyler with his grades and football. I can't believe he is graduating this year, we have raised a very wonderful young man with him, he is so much like you. Such a big heart, always worrying about me and trying to help he is so wonderful. And Michael is really like you in so many ways he is a bit hard headed but he is trying and is so sensitive. Your little Zacky and Willy are just little hyper monsters running all around and playing all the time. They miss you a lot and cry still a lot at night that they miss you. I can't imagine it being easy on them not having a dad, but I try the best I can to help them. Please watch out for all our boys and all the family everyone needs your spirit right now. I wish you were here physically so bad everyday but I know your watching all of us.

Love You

Always & Forever,

Tammie

Always on my mind, always in my heart. I need you to walk with me now, I need you to show me the way.

April 3, 2013

Today has just been so hard, and all I need is for you to be here and tell me that I can do it and that failure is for those who give up.

January 29, 2013

Tomorrow you would have been 36. It seems as though time flies but takes forever at the same time if that makes any sense. I know you know me you understand what I am saying. Things are getting so much harder lately. I don't know if it is the time of the year or what but these past few months have been really hard. I don't want to get out of bed I hear you and see you sometimes I feel like I'm losing it. I don't know kinda crazy I know. Please watch over the family and your boys I have been really worried about a few as you know. I will see you soon, miss and love you always.

Love Always & Forever,
Tammie

I hope you can see how much we all miss you and love you. I hope you can see how I still think of you everyday. I hope you know that everyday I look at our boys how much I wish you were here to watch them grow. I can't believe our little man just turned 15 I know you can't believe how big he is. I still remember how nervous we were when we had him because he was so fragil even mom was scared to hold him now he is probably going to be bigger then you were. He is going to be driving soon and before we know it he will be graduating I am so hurt that they all will not have their daddy there to be there for them for all the things they need you for. It is so unfair I will never understand why you had to be taken away from all of us. I miss you and love you always and forever.

Love Always & Forever

Man I could see you smiling today. I know you are so proud of all your boys. I was so happy to see Montey there today it was good to know he is still checking in on your boys like he said he would because of how much he cared about you. We miss you so much everytime the boys have something it makes me cry that your not there it hurts so bad I still can't come to the reality that your gone and I know it's not healthy but I just refuse to accept that I won't see you again or hear your voice again. I will talk to you soon. I miss you and love you always.

Love Always & Forever,
Tammie

November 2, 2012

It's so hard to believe that is has been three years since I have heard your voice. I still know exactly what you sound like I still remember every expression on your face all your sayings your smile it seems as though you were here just yesterday but at the same time feels like you have been gone forever. Whoever said it get's easier is a liar because it never does it get's harder. We all miss you every day we all think of you every day nothing changes your always on our minds and in our hearts. The boys said they will play their game for you tomorrow I told them that is what you would have wanted and I know you will be there cheering them on with the rest of us. I will talk to you soon.
Love Always & Forever,

Your wise words, "stop looking behind or in front of you, look beside you". Thanks man.

October 8, 2012

Still in my heart, still on my mind. Man, I miss your smile, your laugh, I miss you so much it sometimes takes my breath away. Your boys are getting so big, sometimes its hard for me to look at them because I see you in each of them. They remind me of you in different stages of your life which makes me miss you more. Please keep watch over the family, I'm tired and finding it harder and harder to do, I need your strength now, I need you to show me the way before I get to lost.

hey dad its your little man ty i love and miss you always in my heart forever never forget even 3 years from now

September 25, 2012

I know you are watching over all of us. Mom told me last night that Friday you told her to call the school to check on Willy and then I called her Friday night saying he was sick on the way to the doctors and he said he had been sick all day at school so I know no matter what anyone says you are still watching over your boys and you always will. I know you are so proud of them they are doing so good in school and Zack and Willy are doing so good in football. We all miss you so much and me and the boys talk about you everyday it's always at least one of them that brings you up everyday and just wants to talk. I don't think time has made it any easier for them either and it is just hard sometimes trying to find the right things to say to them you were always so good at that you always knew how to talk to your boys and say the right thing to everyone you always made people feel better and understood what they were going threw. I miss you so much and things still don't get any easier even though it has almost been three years it still hurts as bad as the day you left. I miss you and love you always.
Love Always & Forever

Hello my love, it has been a while I didn't have a computer at home till last week to have the privacy to write you but as you know we still talk everyday and maybe I'm crazy for that. Today is just as hard as the day you left people sill says it get's easier but for those who truly loved you it never does no matter what anyone says. When you left you took almost all of me I keep going for the boys and now Savannah who I know you are watching over also because you know how much me and the boys love her and I know how much you love us. Everyday I wish you were here with us Zacky is an outstanding football star and Willy is following in his footsteps I can not believe his first year they had him try out for the senior team and he made it you would be so proud I could see you watching them play together on the same team from the sidelines smiling from ear to ear. It's not fair that they are going to miss you being there it's not fair that they will miss you all thier life and not have their daddy there at all their big events. I miss your voice your jokes your smile your singing everything about you. I have had it really rough lately just thinking of you I don't talk to anyone because everyone has their own life and problems but I know you are there with me giving me strength to make it through another day. I miss you and will talk to you soon.
Love Always & Forever

so much has changed yet still the same. ive missed u alot more latley, i had it ruff around ur day but i think u jumped into me that night i know u seen i was just tired & saw what was going on and took action. dont know if it helped or hurt but what is done is done.keep ur eyes opened for the famile, even now we still need u to look out for all of us, maybe more now than bfor
i love u for ever

January 3, 2012

You are on my mind today. I miss you and need you so bad at times. I sometimes look at a picture of you and cannot believe I can't pick up the phone and hear your voice on the other end. I know you are watching over me wondering if I have lost my mind. Sometimes, I think I have but I sm doing everything in my power to keep my head above water. I won't let you down, I just need a minute to get right. Stand by me and give me the strength I need because I need you more now than ever. I'm drowning.

October 25, 2011

I miss you and need you more and more each day I wish everyone would stop saying it get's easier because next week will be two years and it's even harder every day it just another struggle to get through. To be with your boys and mom, dad everyone and to be reminded of every little thing with you every little thing replaying in my head so many memories and I am thankful for them and thankful that you were with me for 15 years of my life and that we got to spend half of our lives together and have our beautiful boys but I just wish the pain would ease a little it hurts so bad and it's so hard but our boys give me strength and I am thankful for that and you.

Love Always&Forever,

September 26, 2011

Hello my love, I know you were there yesterday with your boys while they played. I can't get over how Zack looked over at us when the coach told him that he was going to play running back and get the ball I know you are so proud I would have loved to see your face as you watched him run down the field and sack the quarterback yesterday. I couldn't believe how the tears just started coming to my eyes when I saw the excitement on his face and when he ran I wish so badly I could see how proud you are. Tyler is practicing to get ready to try out for high school basketball. I'm so happy and so heartbroken at the same time wishing you were here helping them I get so upset on all the things your missing with them and that they are missing with you it hurts so bad. I know you are here in spirit it's just not good enough and I hate that I say that but it's not we need you here so badly. But I know it's not meant to be and we will be together someday until then I love you with all my heart and will continue to try to make you proud.

Love Always & Forever,

I feel like the material things have now been taken care of. I so afraid of the mental and emotional. Please keep walking with me, please know I'm trying to do right, please know sometimes I'm going to need you to pick me back up. Please watch out for you know who. Be there when I can't. Wrap your arms around him, one day he will feel it. I miss you so much and will love you forever. RIP Troy Boy.

Hello my love, well Zacky will have his first tackle football game tomorrow and I know you love watching him. Friday at practice they threw him the ball and he ran it in for a touchdown I know you are so proud of him and all our boys. But I just wanted to stop by and write and let you know I am thinking of you as always and missing you as I will forever things will never change just as my feelings will never change that I promised you a long time ago and still is true till this day.

Love Always & Forever,

August 31, 2011

Hello my love, well as you know our boys are starting high school, middle school and Willy starts Kindergarten today. You would be so proud of them. Tyler I swear looks like you more and more every day. There still isn't a day that I don't think of you and miss you every second. Some day's it just seems endless people say it should have been better by now but it's not, nothing has changed since 22 months ago nothing ever will because my feelings for you will never change no matter how much time goes by. I know you are watching over your boys and I just want you to be there with them to show them the right way. I am trying but sometimes I just feel like it's not good enough and I am letting you down and that is the last thing I would ever do. I will talk to you soon.

Love Always & Forever,
Tammie

July 19, 2011

Hello my love, just was thinking of you as always and wanted to write to you today. Willy just left my work with mom and he had a balloon that he blew up this morning and he said mommy can I let this go up to my daddy and I said that one wont fly up to daddy it doesn't have any helium in it so we are going to get some later and send them up to you. Mrs. Maria is really helping Zack alot I think he still has a crying spell usually once a week but he is not as depressed as before Tyler has been really trying to help him. But I really just wanted to stop by and write to let you know I'm thinking of you as usual and I love and miss you every second of every day and I will be by to see you later today.

Love Always&Forever,

Hello my love, we have had quite an eventful last week with our baby boys graduation, Willy from Pre-K, Michael from 5th and Ty from 8th. Our boys are growing up so fast. Before Ty went to his graduation he told me he found your calagone and toothbrush and some other things he told me he was wearing your colagone and brushed his teeth with your toothbrush. He especially reminds me of you everyday. They all do in their own way but he is just you all you. We all miss you so very much and everytime they have an event like this it makes it just that much harder you not being there to share it with all of us. Like when Zacky is going to be starting tackle football I know how much you would have loved to be there for him and be so excited seeing how much he loves it. I went to your grave the other day and just sat there singing to you I'm sure you were like I wish she would shut up just kidding. I just felt you there with me and me and Tammy both felt you there at Willy's graduation. And even though we are happy you are there in spirit I don't think it makes it any easier or better that your not here physcially with us. But I will miss you and love you forever and always until we meet again my love.

Love Always & Forever,
Tammie

Hello my love, today is your sugar bears 16th birthday everytime I talk to her she remembers how you use to get her to say that everytime she was around you. Tomorrow is a very special day it is one of the best days of my life and I remember it like it was yesterday and I just can't help but think if you were still here we would be spending it together. I miss you so much and at time the pain seems unbearable it is just so unreal sometimes how you can hurt so bad and hurt for our family and our boys. Zack's teacher emailed me today he is really having more and more hard times and I just can't figure out why it is getting worse for him and I would do anything to help them all get through the pain but there is nothing that will make them they will always have that void just like me and your family you are irreplaceable and always will be. Until I am with you again I will be loving you and missing you always.

Love Always & Forever,

Hello my love, today our baby boy is 5. I wish so much that you were here to see how crazy he is I know you are with him and all of them but I would love to see your big smile laughing at your lump lump. We all miss you so much the pain is still as if it was the first day I found out that you were gone. It still doesn't get any easier not a day goes by that I don't think of you constantly. I watched Rudy last night and had goose bumps the whole time and when I saw your favorite part of the movie I just couldn't help but crying so bad I just remember how that one part you always got goose bumps everytime and I just felt you with me maybe it is crazy but I do alot. But I know you are with all of us. I love you more than anything and miss you everyday.

Love Always & Forever,

March 16, 2011

Hello my love, Today is still as hard as the day when we found out you were gone. Nothing gets any easier I worry constantly about our boys and I try to do what I think is best for them but I never know if I am doing what's right. I always try to think of what you would want me to do and it is then when I realize that you always knew nobody knew me or them like you. You had that special thing about you that you just knew somehow I never understood it but you did and it always worked out somehow. I need you so much it overwhelms me how much I do I keep looking for something to fill the void of you not being here to lessen the pain but nothing will ever work nothing will ever change I will never be able to feel any better until I am with you again but until then I will continue trying to do my best for our boys and honor you. Forever missing and loving you.

Love Always & Forever

Its has been a year and 4 months since you were taken from us to watch over from above, while it still gets hard to believe that you are gone i know that no matter what you are still there for me whenever i need advice or just a push to get through the day. And as i watch Forrest Gump on this glommy sunday all i can seem to think about is how it was your favorite movie and you would come over and watch it with grandad and whoever else in the house who was watching it and sit there and say all the lines haha.. gosh times like today it would be nice to be home to about a year and 4 months ago just to have you cracking us up with jokes and watching forrest with us. We all miss you like crazy but i know one thing you are probably laughing your butt off at all of us and the dumb things we do. Just the other weekend when Molly came to visit we were sitting on the porch of one of my friends houses and just talking about how you were probably making fun of us dancing like idiots and me constantly trying to convince her to come here. you are gone but never forgotten <3

January 30, 2011

Hello my love, today we will celebrate your birthday and remember all the wonderful memories of you even though we all do that everyday. People still tell me it will get easier but it doesn't I don't think it ever will. Tyler had a beautiful sweatshirt made today with your picture on it with angel wings he is so proud of it our boys remind of me of you everyday. You have blessed me with so much there are so many things I wish I could have told you so many things I wish I could have done different but like mom says God has a plan for everyone and we are not to question it even though I think we all do because I still do not understand. I will talk to you soon my love. I love and miss you every second of everyday.

January 2, 2011

Hello my love, Well today our baby boy turned 13 and when I was on my way to the store I heard that Creed song with arms wide open and I thought of how you played that song for me the day you found out I was pregnant with Tyler. Mom said it was your way of letting me know you are still here with me. I know you are watching over the boys and I know how bad you wish you could have been here on your little man's birthday physically but I know you were here in spirit. He especially reminds me of you everyday not only does he look more and more like you he diffently acts like you alot. I am very blessed to have our babies with me and have them remind me of you everyday. Zack got to go to his first football game too today and I wish so bad you were here to take him. He is so into football I know you are laughing about it I just wish you were here he loves it so much. Well I will talk to you later my love.

Love Always & Forever,

Hell my love, I was just thinking of the stuff I want to get the boys for Christmas and it made me start thinking of how it was your favorite holiday. I remember one year before the boys were here you went and bought all these toys for the nieces and nephews and we were living in moms basement and you brought them in and they were all over the floor downstairs and you were just smiling and trying to wrap them all up wow that was a wrap job. Then I think of how many Christmas's we had together with our boys and family and all I can see is that smile of yours and your beautiful blue eyes a day still does not go by that I don't think of you miss you and love you. It still is not any easier I don't think it ever will be and everyday I look at our boys and they look more and more like you Tyler looks exactly like you. They talk about you every day and it is so hard and then Zack brings home a paper from school asking things about his daddy and mommy and we sit and talk about you I think those are the hardest times I know our lives will never be the same and we will always hurt and I hate the fact that the boys have to be here without you and see other kids with their daddys and it makes me hurt for them so bad and there is nothing I can do to make it any better except tell them that you are always with them and always a part of them and you can hear them and are there for them just like always even though not physically. I love you always and forever.

Love Always & Forever,
Tammie

Thinking of you today and remembering what a great spirit you have. I miss you. It's true, life goes on but it never goes on the same. I gave Willy and Zach bathes last night. After I got Zacky's pajamas on I was combing his hair from behind, I lost my breath for a second because from behind it was like when I brushed your hair when you were little. I am so thankful for those memories, and so thankful that you left part of you here with us. Without them, this empty place in my heart would never be full again. I miss you and love you ALWAYS AND FOREVER, me.

So a year ago today you left us and nothing can take away the pain that we all feel everyday... as much that we want to feel that it was all a horrible nightmare .. we now know that this feeling will never leave us.. as much that we try to pretend that we are all okay its all a lie.. i will never be able to get over that you will never be around..call my name or even just say hi... i try to drain myself my staying busy and not thinking of it but truth is this was the hardest time that i have ever tried to forget. while i may not still be that same person i was when this all happened i must say it was the hardest thing i ever had to deal with.. I will always love and miss you.. Uncle

November 2, 2010

Hello my love, a year ago today was the last time I sopoke to you, the last time I would ever hear you voice, the last time I ever heard you say my name. If I had only known it would be the last time there are so many things I would have told you so many things I would have talked to you about. I know we have no control over anything now and it is to late for you to talk to me but I know you hear me when I tell you all of these things but I just wish that I could hear you talk to me, what I wouldn't give to hear you laugh and make your jokes and sing with the boys as you always did. We all miss you so much and it doesn't get any easier as time goes by just harder and harder as each day passes that we don't talk to you or see you. Some people say it might be harder because this is almost the day you left us but to me it feels like that every day it is like re living it everyday that you are not here I don't know maybe it's weird maybe it's just me but there is not a day that goes by that I don't re live everything that happend these last few days a year ago and everything that happend every sound every thought every feeling it happens sometime everyday all over again maybe I'm crazy I don't know anymore. But all I do know is how much I love you and miss you and that will never change and I know what you wanted for your boys and I will always do what I am supposed to do for them as I think you would have wanted me to and that will never change I will give all that I have to make sure they are ok, I know by far I am not perfect but I also know that you are there for them and that will never change because you are the best as you always were and that will never change either. I will talk to you soon my love.

Love Always & Forever,
Tammie

So many thoughts,
in my head.
So many things,
left unsaid.
You left that day,
without a glance.
Never knowing God,
wasn't giving you a second chance.
What was in your head,
the last moments you had.
I hope you though happy thoughts,
and not sad.
No one can evertake your place.
Your image in my heartwill never erase.
As you smile one me from up above.
My mind is still sadbut my heart is filled with love.
I love you dear uncle you meant the world to me.
I'll always make you proud of me you will see.

October 25, 2010

Hello my love, exactly one year from today you were carving pumpkins with our boys and dancing around the house. It is still to hard to deal with that you are gone and we will never see your beautiful smile again. Only in pictures and in our memory will be able to see you, you are the most beautiful person I have ever known. I took our boys to get their custumes and pumpkins yesterday they asked me to get them the same carving kit you got them last year. Tyler was trying to pick between a clown costume and a scary one and I told him how his first halloween he was a clown and you dressed up with him as one to, he threw down the other costume and took the clown one cause he said he wants to be like you. He is in so many ways he has a huge heart and always trying to help me out with the other boys and stuff around the house. All of them are like you in alot of ways and boy they look just like you in some ways it's like I am looking it's hard to explain but I know you know what I am talking about you always understood me. Well I will talk to you later today my love.

Love Always and Forever,
Tammie

We little knew the day that

God was going to call your name,

In life we loved you dearly,

in death we do the same.



It broke our hearts to lose you,

but in God we put our trust,

In times as difficult as this,

faith is such a must.



You left us peaceful memories,

your love is still our guide,

And though we cannot see you,

you are always at our side.



Our family chain is broken,

and nothing seems the same,

But as God calls us one by one,

the chain will link again.

as the day approaches.. it gets harder

October 16, 2010

Hello my love, it seems as though tonight is really bad. I look at our boys and remember that next weekend a year ago you were carving pumpkins with our boys you had the music playing loud threw the house and you were dancing and we were matching and folding socks and then you looked at me and smiled and said I hate folding socks this is going to be my new punishment when the boys are bad they are going to have to match and fold socks and then you started laughing. How I wish with all that I am that I could see you smiling and hear you laugh it's killing me. Everytime Tyler talks to me about how good he is doing in school and the things going on his life, everytime Michael is taking something apart and putting it back together, everytime Zacky is learning how to read his new words at school and making his touchdowns every Saturday morning, everytime Willy smiles with those dimples and is silly as he can be I can't stand it I just keep thinking you should be here, you should be watching our boys grow up and being the amazing daddy you have always been it's so unfair I can't take it, it's so unbearable to be without you I don't know what to do. They have been talking about halloween this week and how you took them to get the pumpkins and bought those sketch papers to put over them and how you helped cut them out and the really good one you did with Zack and Willy. They miss their daddy, I miss my best friend we all miss you more than anyone can say. I know your spirit lives in our boys they are so much like you it's unreal and I am so proud of each of them and so blessed that we have 4 beautiful sons and I am blessed that a part of you will forever live on in them. I love you and miss you more than I can stand and that will never change.

Loving you and Missing you forever and always.

Love Always & Forever,
Tammie

October 5, 2010

Hello my love, Tyler said to me yesterday I wish daddy was here he would be so proud of me because he got all A's, B's and one C on his progress report. All I could say to him is your daddy was and is always proud of you when you do right and do your best daddy can still see what your doing and I know he is proud of you what else can I say I know it's the truth but it doesn't make anything better cause then he just looks at me and says I know but it's not the same and I start to cry it will never be the same nothing will ever be right again and there is nothing anyone can do about it. We talk about you everyday you always come up in our conversations and it makes us laugh and so sad at the same time. I so wish you were here with us when your Zacky makes his touchdowns he is so proud and loves football so much mom always says he is your guts, but they all remind of us of you in someway. Me and mom were talking the other day of how we can't believe it's been almost a year it still feels like it just happend or like mom said you just went somewhere for a while and we are still waiting for you to come back. I told her I know don't you get tired of everyone saying it gets better but it doesn't and she said that's exactly how she feels. But all we can do is keep getting by day by day even though it doesn't get any easier we have to stay strong. But you know how that goes, I will talk to you later my love.

Love Always & Forever,
Tammie

thinking of you everyday

October 3, 2010

11 months ago today, I got a phone call that forever changed the life of me and everyone I love. 11 months ago today, a part of my heart broke that can never be repaired. 11 months ago today, god took you home where you belong so you could rest in peace. I know I am being selfish because I want you here with us. Mom says never question his will. It so damn hard because I do question it. I hope I wake up and it's all been just a crazy dream. That you will walk in my house put your arms around me a tell me it will all be ok. I want you here with us, I want all this pain to go away. I want you here with your boys. I want you to put a smile on mom and dads face. I want you to go to work with Scottie and Ricky and make everything ok. I want you to give Misty direction when she needs it. I want you to call me because you need me for something, anything. I want to hold you for hours. I would give anything, ANYTHING to just have you here. I know it's me being selfish. Sometimes it's hard not to be. If I truly think about it, I know you are still here just not in the physical sense. I know if I really need you, you are right here beside me. I know that you are at every game and every practice your boys have. I know you walk in thier school with them every morning. I know you set with mom @5:00 in the morning while she drinks her coffee and stares at your house. I know you were with Misty when she took her test. I know you cry because you see Ricky and Scottie hurting because they love each other so much and they just can't find the right words to say to each other. I know you were at the park the other day with me, I felt no fear because I knew no matter what happened you were standing beside me to give me the strength to handle whatever went down. I know you are here but it does not stop me from missing you. We all know you are here but we are all still missing you. As I miss you, I still love you and understand that god took you because it was your time to be with him. God took you because it was your time for internal rest. God took you because he only takes ther best. You will forever be the best to me. You will forever be in my heart. I truly know one day I will hold you in my arms again, look you in your eyes and tell you how much I love you. I know one day, I will lay with you in the house the lord built for us. I know one day we will laugh together again. I miss you so very much but understand I still have work here to do and until my work here is done, I have to do my best to keep my heart soul and mind positive. I will always have your back and do what I think you would want me to do. I will never let the boys forget how much daddy loves them. I will never let your name be spoken in vain. I will cherish you here on earth until my final breath is taken and then I will hold you in my arms once again. I love you baby brother. Always have, always will. RIP my sweet Troy Boy.

September 30, 2010

Hey Troy, you would be real proud of both of your sisters as the beatiful young ladys they are but i know i don't have to tell you that but anyways lil Misty has made some changes to her life that are very good and both are thier for MOM in so many different ways and oh god how your older sister Tammy has been thier for Mom on so many levels I can't say enough about it and you don't need to be told cause you know how our sisters are but thought you would like to hear cause I know other than your boy's & Tammie,. MOM WAS YOUR HEART. Now we all know we were in thier to but everyone knows how you were with mom and I don't know what she would have done without Tammy & Misty cause like most we deal in are own ways like to stay busy as possiable or just trying to get through the day but i got to say we got the best sisters in the world cause as they do them they are all over mom to make sure she is good and they do it so well she doesn't even see the changes as Tammy comes by so much more often just to visit with her and Misty is here every night hanging with mom & dad in thier room which we both know lets Dad rest just alittle easier with her at home with him.I must admit i love the fact that they are here more i get to see they are ok if nothing else and as far as Ricky and I, I can't really speak for him but I think its like when we see each other we see our own emptyness as we can't see you anymore and we are a reminder to each other of that fact and no matter how much we love one another or the fact that we would never let the other want or need for anything the feeling is thier,but at the same time we both know we got each other's back when need be.Well dad and mom are doing and I got to leave it at that. as far as I know The boys are doing good, last weekend Willy aka (LUMP) AND ZACKY aka (MACKY MAC)stayed with me,Trina,Alyssa and DayDay even though it was really Mom & Dad they was staying with you know how that goes when its time for bed they both run to jump in bed with (NANA & GRANDDAD) but they spent alot of time with us we all went to the International Day Fair and then played at the park for awhile then Zack,Willy,Alyssa and DayDay got to have the run of my room and hallway upstairs as i let them play the way they wanted to and Trina was downstairs making us some walnut brownies they had stuff all over the place thier was not a toy container or box that had something in it they had it all out and all over but i tell you what LIL MACKY was so good with DAYDAY and the way ALYSSA & WILLY played together I was so prould of them two boy's and i could see your caring & understanding in little kids as i sat and watch him with DAYDAY he was so patient and had your compassion while trying to play with DAYDAY and DAYDAY not understanding everything didn't get to him it was so obivous as I have seen you do this alot of times with the boy's on the field at H M B that I couldn't miss seeing it, oh yeah just wanted to THANK YOU for letting me be your assitant coach for 2 yrs.I will always have them times in my head and heart but back to the boys,Willy that lil dude has your sprit of a protecter and competiveness to no end as well as them dang dimples and smile,he don't care that ALYSSA is a girl or little'er he was not going to lose at anything or give an inch when they were playing and when he cheat or did something wrong and you said something to him about it he would first look at you with that big ole smile and both dimples going while thinking real fast just like you and give you a bull story why he was right and if that don't beat all when him ZACK & ALYSSA went to get in the moonbounce at the park and i was taking his shoes off he look at ALYSSA and told her "IF ANY ONE MESSES WITH YOU OR PUSH YOU TELL US" and man i had to do some thinking of my own real fast to distract my thoughts and feelings to stay strong cause i heard you.Now TyTy that boy got me to when he was playing football at the park i was taking some pictures and i got 1 where he was running an i got him from behind and it looked so much like you that boy has his daddy's looks at different angles and times but he's also got the compassion as i got another picture of him with DAYDAY in the back yard on his sholders helping DAYDAY to be taller for the basketball court so he could do it like ZACK & WILLY and the shot of them in that picture i seen you with him when he was little doing the same exact same thing with him on your sholders in the back yard at the basketball court when like BUBBA & LARRY would be shooting.little MIKEY I don't get to see much anymore and mom don't either, cause this past weekend while TYTY,ZACK & WILLY was here she said she would like to see him that he hasen't been comming much anymore and i guess like all she misses him so I am going to call him and ask him if he wants to and stay the this weekend and I am going to ask Tammie befor I ask him if I can pick him up on the bike and if she says yes I will let him know that when I ask him so it might help him say yes and we all can see him, but he smart to tricks like you he ain't no ones fool that for sure but hopefully he won't catch it.we'll as you know we all miss you so much and love you,I will talk to you soon.
LOVE YOU TROY!

Hello my love, Saturday your baby boys had their first football game as you know. It was so amazing that you were seen running down the field with Zacky as he was chasing down the other boy and got the flag. Even though you are gone you still amaze me in some way everyday. It still feels like the first day everyday that you were taken from us. I can't get past it, it is just to hard. But like you tell I must keep moving on for our boys and that is what keeps me going. Everytime I close my eyes I see your smiling face you are so beautiful and your amazing heart and spirit just keep me going. I know you are always here with all of us and just know that you are always on all of our minds people still say it will get easier but I am still waiting their is not a day that doesn't go by that I don't cry for you I just don't see it getting any easier but I will do what you tell me and that is all I can do. Missing you and loving you always.
Love Always & Forever,

Thinking of you day to day, wishing I could see you flyin down the street on the four wheeler w/a huge smile on ur face! I know its gonna be awhile unless I look @ pics of you, & I think thats what hurts the most...knowing I'm not gonna see your smiling face any more. It's Almost a year now & Still all of this doesnt seem real... I know the 3rd it's gonna be like rippin a fresh scab off all over again & I dont ever wonna feel that way again. But life is what it is & we must accept the things we can not change. As bad as I wish I could have changed thing... I know we all would have. It's not going to be any easier now as it wasnt then, but I do ask God to give me the strength to get though this unsettling pain. You are always loved & missed, But Never forgotten!!! LOVE YOU ALWAYS

September 14, 2010

As you know, not a day goes by where you are not on all of our minds. I know you are still with us, I feel your presents everyday. You will always live through us and your boys. With this knowledge, I am able to move forward. Even to this day, you look out for all of us when we need you the most. You my baby brother will always be remembered for your big smile and generous heart. I am honored God made you part of me. I miss you now, I will miss you always. I will spend my life honoring yours because you deserve nothing less. RIP my sweet Troy Boy. I'll meet your at the crossroad with a big smile on my face. Always and forever, Me.

September 13, 2010

Hello my love, well all your boys are in school now they all really like their new school. You should see Lump Lump he is so excited about it all. We miss you so much I still don't know how I get threw everyday without you I know you must be giving me strength for our boys because I don't see how I would get threw it any other way. Tyler will play his first football game next week. It is so hard seeing him out there and you not be there you were always there for everything and this was your favorite time of year. We had a birthday party for mom Saturday before they went to Atlantic City they needed to get away again they had such a good time when they went for dad's birthday. I got her, her faviorite cake that me and you use to always get her every year for her birthday from rolling pin she really liked it. I can't believe that Friday will be ten months since you have been gone the pain is still unbearable. I still don't know what to do without you I am still so scared and worry about how our boys will be. They remind me of you everyday I can at least say that I will always have a glimpse of you in life when I look at them until we see each other again. I still think of you as soon as I get up and all day and before I go to sleep I can't get you off my mind no matter how hard I try I don't know what to do about it. I love you my love I will talk to you soon.

Love Always & Forever,

Hello my love, today has been 9 months since you left us. I was on my way home yesterday and heard this song by George Strait called it's not the breath you take and I started to cry it made me think of you and I know you would love it. Tyler started his football practice yesterday and Zack and Willy start on Monday. I wish so much you were here with us just watching them and cheering them on from the sidelines like you always did you were always so proud of all of them. All Ty did after practice last night was talk about you and he talked to the coach about you. I am so mad not at you or anyone else just so angry that you are not here and how much our boys are going to miss with you gone them being able to say that's my dad over there and you not being here on days they need we need you it's just not fair and it hurts to bad. Nothing gets any better you consume my every thought unless I am actually in the middle of something else you are all I think about and it just gets worse and worse. But some good news for you as if you are not watching Mom and Dad had a really good time in Atlantic City we were all really releaved they needed it. Well I will be talking to you tonight at your boys practice. I love you and miss you always and forever.

Love Always & Forever,
Tammie

Hello my love, I have been having a really bad feeling the past few days and have not been able to sleep. I feel like you are trying to tell me something but I can not figure it out. I called Tammy because for some reason me her and mom all have the same feelings at the same time alot of times. I wish you could let me know some way. I wanted to let you know our little boy Willy got in to pre k. All our boys will be in school now. I wish so much you were here physically to see them grow. Zack and Will have been talking about you so much lately. Zacky was eating his food last night and he wanted to try some greens and he said my daddy liked these I like them because my daddy did. Everyone still keeps saying it will get better but it gets worse and worse every day. Me and mom were in the house on Friday just looking around it will be gone soon. I miss our home together I miss so many things I can't even name them. Everyday for the past 15 years you have been apart of my life I have a memory of you for everyday and everyday memories of you fill my head and my heart and I just start to cry. I listen to songs, I talk about you I always think about you, I can't sleep I don't know how to handle it. I can't let the boys see me upset because they worry and I try to talk to them about all the wonderful things you always did with them for them because I never want them to forget the wonderful father you were are and always will be to them. I called Willy a monkey the other day when he got out of the bath and he said I'm not your monkey I'm my daddy's monkey, I just wanted to cry. They miss you so much we all miss you so much. Please try to be there for everyone as much as you can I am so worried about a special few people and you know who they are I talk to you about them everyday just please be there with them as much as you can. I will talk to you later. I love you always and forever.

Love Always & Forever,

Hello my love, it's me again. It goes without saying how much all of us miss you I'm sure you see it every second of every day. But I do want to write you the poem Tyler wrote you so here it goes,
My Hero
My hero, some may say a hero can fly or have super strength well to me a hero is a protector like a body guard a awesome person and someone with just enough love or more than you know. People say you never know what you have until it is gone I can imagine. Hero's save lives kind of how I remember my dad use to be with me and my brothers he would love us and take care of us he use to sing me a song Johnny's daddy and that little boy of mine I guess what I am saying is to me my hero is my father Troy Lee Moomau. That's what my father was will and always be to me I love my hero my father Troy. When he wrote this I wanted to post it in the Washington Post for fathers day but they said they were not doing a father's day special so I wanted to write it to you here. I am so proud of our boys they remind me of you in so many many ways. I know you watch over them everyday. I was watching our videos last night of when we went to Kings Dominion with Steph and Rick and the one I made you for fathers day when we only had Tyler you were so happy always smiling and laughing calling him Daddy's Man. I have such a hard time dealing everyday as I am sure everyone does. It is almost unbareable. Mom said I always look sad but I can't always put on a face and you know mom is my best friend who can tell everything with me like you always could but I try not to bother anyone with what I am feeling because it is an everyday thing and it doesn't get any better. No matter what anyone says it doesn't. You are still the first thing I think about when I get up while I drive to work all day when I lay down when I look at our boys it just doesn't go away. But even though I feel like that I try to do the best I can for our boys and I think you give me strength with that I hear you and see you so many times. This Sunday will be the boys first Father's day without you and Dad's first Father's day without you and it is just another reminder of how things will never be the same. Matt gradutes Saturday and I know you are so proud of him and probably letting him and Ricky know in your own way. It's hard enough everyday to get threw but everytime we have a birthday party or family function everything is twice as hard. I love you my love with all my heart and soul and nothing or no one will ever change that. Please be with everyone who needs you and let them know you are ok or what you need any of us to do to if anyting. I love you.

Love Always & Forever,

Hello love, I just wanted to tell you again how much I miss you and want you hear with us so badly it physically hurts I still can't sleep no matter what the doctor gives me I still wake up thinking of you 2-3 times a night your still my first thought when I get up and my last thought when I go to sleep. I am so scared without you here of so many things you always had a way of making everything seem like it was going to get better and if you were still here it would be. Tyler wrote the most beautiful poem about his hero and it was all about you I am going to go to the cemetary when it stops raining and read it to you even though I think he already did. I read his notebooks and he writes about you all the time they all miss you so much I show the babies pictures and talk about you because I don't ever want them not to know how blessed they are to have a wonderful father like you have always been to all our boys. I will talk to you soon baby, I love you forever and always.

Love Always & Forever,

Tammie

Well baby today has been 6 months since you have left us all. There is just a big whole in all of our lives that will never be able to be filled. No one can every do what you did for your family, your boys and for me. Nobody will ever be able to take that void away I have come to realize that the pain will not go away will not ease up will not get any better no matter what anyone says. Steph and Ricky had Matthews 18th birthday party yesterday you would have had so much fun there with them playing with all the kids as you always did they all miss you so much. The more and more I look at the boys they look so much like you Tyler even has your same smile. I still can't sleep I have seen you a few times in my dreams but not enough I still see you sometimes while I am awake and hear you talking but I feel that is just me going crazy. I went to your grave the other day specifically April 29 we both know what that day is to us and as you probably saw me and heard me just going on and on about everything I just wish I knew that you know how much I love you and how you are my world and nothing and noone will ever change that. Sometimes when I think I feel you there I get goose bumps up my arms like you always did on that part of the movie Rudy you loved so much and I feel like I cant breath but in a good way like you take my breath away its really hard to explain. Its like I knew so much about you that everything I know you would like or did like and things you would have done in a certain situation it's seems as though you are so much apart of me it's hard to explain but I know you know what I mean you were always the only one that could understand alot of the things that I did or said. Well I will be stoping by the cemetary today I will talk to you then. I love you with all my heart and soul.

Love Always & Forever,

Tammie

Everything is different without you Uncle Troy. I remember all of our memories together like they were yesterday. When you took me to the mall on my birthday to get me that big red monster truck. When you took me to get my first and only fitted cap. When you used to pick me up and put me against Grandma's front door window. I remember when you told me you kick my but if I wasn't careful with Tyler and Michael. I act like my life is the same. It isn't at all. I try my best to do what I can for the boys but I don't feel like I've done anything. Every time I think about you it feels like i can go right to brentwood and see you but then i realize I can't and it seems unbelievable. I feel like we didn't communicate a lot in this last year and I really hate myself for that. I miss you soooo much and I hope to see you again sometime in the future even if in heaven. I Love you Uncle Troy.

Hello my love, I just felt like writing you to tell you that tomorrow Michael will be having his honor roll assembly. I wish so much you were here physically to let him know how proud you are of him. I told him you are watching him and how proud you are of him and all of them. They all miss you so much we all miss you so much. It has been almost six months and nothing has gotten any easier only worse. I had to put Lady down on Monday so I know she is with you playing and running now. She just got to bad that was really hard not only because she was apart of all of our family for 12 years but I just remember when we got her for Tyler when he was a baby, you and Ricky brought him back to Ricky and Stephanies house in Bowie and we took her home to moms with us. We have so many memories over so many years. I just feel like I am floating threw life waiting to be with you. All I can do is what I can for the boys and then all my energy is gone. All of me is gone except what I have left to keep me going for them. I am afraid one day it won't be enough but I know what you want me to do and I am trying to do it everyday. I talk to you more and more everyday I just feel like I am going crazier and crazier. It drains me physically being without you. But I know what I need to do and I am doing the best I can. I love you with all of my heart and soul and will talk to you and see you soon.

Loving You Always & Forever,
Tammie

uncle troy,
We all miss you. I just want you to know that even though i didn't get to tell you this on the day you left us, i love you so much. You were the uncle i could tell my friends about and they would laugh, or say I can't wait to meet him. Everyone misses you. You would be so proud of the boys, with how strong they are being. We visit you as much as we can, and we all try to talk to you every day. You will be in our hearts and minds always, and there isn't one day that goes bye that we don't think of you the first day we wake up. I remember at my third grade birthday party and you had your roller skates on, and you picked me up and skated with me on your back from the end of the rink to the other. That was my best birthday and I will never forget that moment i promise you that. You are gone physically but you are always here and we know that. Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,for ever and ever.Amen. I love you uncle troy..

Hey there, sorry it has taken me so long to write but I just can't get over the fact that I will never get a call to watch the kids again or even see you walking across the yard to the house. Even though we were not that close and I don't have all the memories that the boys do all I am told is to remember how proud you have always been of me and I believe that is the only reason I have been able to keep this focus because as much it hurts to think of you, I must continue and keep going. The day I heard of your passing I would have to say was one of the hardest days in my life because all I did was deny it and as much as I want to today I know I can’t. Every time I go home I am reminded and it just begins to hurt all over again, because I look out the back window and expect to see you walking across the yard. And all I can think of now is you asking me how much I paid these people to hang out with me lol... Or even you just singing and dancing as you walked around the house. Also I know you would be so proud of Mikey for getting all as and Bs on his report card. The boys are going to grow up and be wonderful young men and will be able to thank you for that. Even though Zack and Will may not understand I’m sure Ty and Mike will always keep everything you taught them and teach it to them. But I Love you and will always miss you but your memory will never be forgotten. Miss you so much <3 Kels

I just spoke with you earlier but sometimes it helps me to write to you to. I wish you were here so you could let our boys know how proud of them you are. The first time Michael has been on grade level for reading and then I just found out today he has straight A's and B's so he made honor roll when I get home I will tell him how proud I am of him and let him know how proud I know you are of him and if you were here you would probably be taking him to the go cart track to celebrate. There is not a second that goes by that I don't think of you I wake up and your the first thing on my mind I go to sleep and your the last thing on my mind I dream of you I see you I talk to you I think I am going insane. Everyone says it will get better but it doesn't. I am just floating through life and everything seems so fake. There is nothing left of me except for what I can give to our boys other than that the rest of me is with you. I go by the cemetary and take your flowers and talk to you but I don't even have to be there I talk to you all the time I see you and hear you all the time I just don't know what to do without you, you are my life you consume my every thought. I try to put on a good show for everyone but in my mind I am going crazy and I don't know how to stop. But I will do my best to do what I think you want me to and that is all I can do. But I will talk to you soon I love you my love.

Love Always & Forever,
Tammie

Time just keeps on ticking by slowly. It seems like an eternity since we have seen you. If it feels like that to me, than I can not imagine how it feels to everyone else. Missing you forever and a day....

Well, I can speak for Fred and I that we really miss you. Autumn and Fred Fred ask about you. All I can tell them is you are always watching over them. We celebrated your first birthday without you. I was so happy to actually see your Mom smiling and trying to be in best spirits. I know I can speak for a lot of people when I say that I miss you tremendously and I think about you each and every day. Tammie and the boys, and the whole family is in my heart and brain everyday... We miss you... Love Always

Well Troy we celebrated your birthday Saturday with the boys. They were excited about writing the message to you on the balloons. All of them but alot of thought into what to say. Zack was so excited to send the balloon to you and watch it float away. He really wanted to give you a present and we tried to explain to him that his thoughts of his daddy on his balloon was the best present he could give his dad. Hope they all reached you and I hope you had a wonderful day. Like always you may be gone but will never be forgotten.

Love always

Today we will celebrate the first birthday without you here. We are all at moms and it is snowing. Tyler said you are making it snow for them to let them know you are here with them. The other day Zack asked me if his daddy was an angel and I said yes and then he said my daddy is in heaven and I said yes and he said I miss my daddy and then Lump said I miss him to. Every second of everyday I am thinking of you and missing you we used to talk at least 3 times a day and I am always waiting for my phone to ring to hear you singing before you know I had answered the phone specially that song my big green tractor we hear it all the time. I just feel like it is still a bad dream and when I try to deal with the fact that you are not here I can't handle it. Our boys are such an even more constant reminder being at moms everyday is a reminder everything is a reminder of you we had so many years together and did so many things and now you are gone and I just cant deal with it. Everyone says I have to be strong for the boys it is what you would have wanted but it is just so overwhelming sometimes and I don't feel as if I can do it. But today we will celebrate your wonderful life and how many many good times we all had with you and how we were blessed to have you even if it was not long enough we still had so many plans and dreams to live out and now that is gone but I will try to do everything I can in my power to do what you wanted me to. I love you and miss you and will see you soon.

Loving You Always & Forever,

Tammie
