They say there is a reason, they say time will heal; Neither time or reason will change the way I feel.... Gone are the days we used to share, but in my heart you are always there... The gates of memories will never close; I miss you more than anyone knows...
Love and miss you everyday... Until I see you again.. Always and Forever..

I heard you got a brand new place
Feels like at least a million miles away
I hope I get to meet you there someday
And we'll pick back up like no time passed
Yeah, I pray it happens like that
I bet you're up there right now makin' plans and writin' out
All your favorite places that you just can't wait to take us
And we'll get to spend forever talkin' 'bout whatever
When I get there, promise you'll track me down
And show me around
I heard that there's no growing old
And now you only walk down streets of gold
I've only read about what you've seen, what you know
And I'm still here missin' you
Oh, I wonder what you're gettin' into
I bet you're up there right now makin' plans and writin' out
All your favorite places that you just can't wait to take us
And we'll get to spend forever talkin' 'bout whatever
When I get there, promise you'll track me down
And show me around
I hate how much that losin' you hurts
I hope you know you left your mark on this world
And I swear that I'd give anything on this Earth
To see your face
But for now, I'll wait
I bet you're up there right now makin' plans and writin' out
All your favorite places that you just can't wait to take us
And we'll get to spend forever talkin' 'bout whatever
When I get there, promise you'll track me down
And show me around
And show me around
I heard you got a brand new place

Brother... Brother.... How many rolls do we get? Hilarious. Every Thanksgiving I remember growing up and Mom would make rolls that we would only get on Thanksgiving and we would ask the same thing ever year, "how many rolls do we get?" It was the same answer every year but we would always ask! You are missed dear Brother!
I love you....
I love you....

Happy Halloween little Brother!!! I can still remember us trick or treating so long ago and then pigging out on candy until we were sick.... ahhh... the good ole days. :-)
I miss you so much. And love you forever and ever. I am looking forward to seeing you again and hearing your silly sense of humor. I'm sure you have the Angels rolling. You are the best little brother and I am so blessed you are mine, Love you....

Dear Sweet Brother,
Time has gone by so quickly, I cannot believe it's been five years already. I've missed you everyday since. I hope you know how much I love you and how much I wish I could just have one more moment with you to tell you in person and give you a big hug.
No measure of time is long enough to heal from the pain of losing you but I continue to find solace in the happy memories and the love we shared. Tears still come and go but I do know I will see you again. Until that time comes, I will continue to look at photos of you all over the house, think of your silly sense of humor, remember all the good times and the bad ones too and be eternally grateful that you were my brother and that I was beyond blessed to have you in my life, even if it didn’t feel long enough. You were a gift from God.
I love you to the moon and back little brother.

Daddy,
Five years have passed since you left. There still isn’t a day that passes that you’re not jumping into my mind. The world is crazy right now, and I wish I could call you because you always knew what to say to ease my mind. I think I will always be a little lost without you. You would be so proud of your grand babies and I wish so much that you could be here to see all that they do. I mean, I know you see, but I wish you could see standing beside me. I tell them all kinds of stories about you, and see so many bits and pieces of you when I look at them. We miss you Daddy. It’s so surreal to think that so many days have passed by without you on this earth. But I promise you that not one of those days have passed without you on my mind. You took a piece of my heart with you when you left on this day 5 years ago. I will never be who I was when you were here. I’m learning that it isn’t something that ever gets easier, losing you. It’s a pain that lives within me, that sometimes creeps up and stings. It also comes with an overwhelming sense of pride, knowing that I was so privileged to have you as a Dad. Today will pass but the pain will still be here tomorrow, and that’s okay. I’m forever grateful for the footprints you left on my heart Daddy. Keep watching over us, we are so blessed to have you as a guardian angel. I love you and miss you so much.

Dad, as the years go by it does not get any easier not having you here. Some days it hits me like a ton of bricks, it's no surprise that yesterday was one of those days. You are loved and missed so so deeply. Happy Birthday big guy.
"And if I'm gone I hope you'll love me for me,
Say no goodbyes, one day you'll fly with me.
So look up when you're lonely, heaven's so close...
And I know it hurts but I'm home.
Everything's alright now don't you cry,
When you're staring at the moon on the other side, that's me."

Brother.....
You gave no one a last farewell, nor ever said good-bye. You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why.
A million times we’ll miss you, a million times we’ll cry.
If love alone could have saved you, you would have never died. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place, nothing will ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone, for part of us went with you, the day God took you home.
We will see you again someday, I know in a better place. I thank God he made you our Brother, while you were here on earth.

My precious baby Brother....
You are an amazing Father, Son, and the best Brother. You are good natured, funny and sweet, and this barely describes how much you mean to so many, even after being gone for four years.
You can never be replaced, never be forgotten and will always be in our hearts, always loved and forever missed...
I will carry you with me, until I see you again.

This year, Trystin and Jaxson's Elves on the Shelves (Flash and Dash) threw a little party for Papa Brett's birthday! Complete with a sign, balloons, and cupcakes. Trystin and Jaxson can't wait to celebrate!
Guardian Grandpa
September 19, 2016
You're little girl sent me this picture earlier this month of Trystin. He had gotten himself dressed for school and asked Brittany (his Mommy) to take his picture. She was ready to take the picture in the kitchen and he said no Mom- I want my picture taken with Papa Brett. She knew in her breaking heart exactly what he meant. So she followed Trystin to a shelf where your picture and urn sit in honor of you. Trystin stood happily by your picture and smiled brightly. After taking the picture she looked at it and to the right was a bright light next to Trystin. Brittany sent this picture to me and even before she explained the picture and little Trystin's request. I thought to myself, you are with him in the picture, I could see your presence watching over him. Then when Brittany explained Trystin's request, I knew with absolutely certainy as did Brittany, you were with your little grandson watching over him as you are all of us. I love you little brother and miss you so very much. Saddness and joy in missing you but knowing you are in heaven and we will be together again.
Gift for you...
March 30, 2016
Take good care of her until we are all together again. I love you both so much. I know you love this little bundle too. It gives me comfort knowing that you're there to welcome her to heaven.
