When we were teenagers, there was a group of 4 of us that were inseparable.  Me, Samantha, Brent and Alex. We spent a lot of time at Six Flags and Sweetwater Creek. At Six Flags, when I was 16, (12 years ago,) he made me take off my halter tip for the water rides and he wore it. He just wanted to see if I would be confident enough to wear my bikini.  Lol And then on Valentines Day 2006, we were all hanging out at Renee and Mark Lindsay's house.  I was dating Alex and Samantha was dating Brent. All of a sudden,  Renee comes in and puts a fan with a spray bottle on the TV Stand and walks out... We quickly called her back into the room and said,  "Whats this for?" She saI'd, "IN case things heat up too much in here"

My first memory and probably favorite one is the day we met. You looked at me and told me I know we just met but you're my little sister. You seem like a sweet young lady and you're beautiful. I didn't know what to say so all I said was thank you and I will be your little sister. You always looked out for me. Was always there for me when I needed someone to talk to. I remember us always playing tag football with our friends and hanging out. While everyone was talking to the news crew about what type of person you was and that You would never harm anyone I felt you there with us. During the prayer section we had some of us looked up and saw a cross in the sky. We started to nudge the others around us and pointed up. Once everyone was looking up we smiled and cried at the same time. We knew you was looking down on us and letting us know you was okay. Well about 6 months later I was with my family riding in the back of my mom's car and I looked out the window and saw a heart in the clouds. I started to silently cry so they didn't hear me. I knew it was you letting me know you was okay. I still hear and see you from time to time. When I hear you, you're always tell me that you are okay. You're happy and couldn't be in a better place. You always tell me before you leave that you love me and your family. You always ask me to tell them that and I do. I miss and love you always and forever. You're my brother forever. You touched my life and I am grateful to have known you. Rest in paradise Brent. Gone to soon but never forgotten. Always in our hearts.

I am grateful for you...
I am grateful for the day we met...
Even though you couldn't stay!
I am grateful for the memories...
Even when they make me cry! 
I am grateful for the love shared... 
Even though now at a distance!
I am grateful for the time shared...
Even if it was too short!
I am grateful for YOU...!
