chad this is your mom I always knew from the moment I saw you and watched you grow into the wonderful person that you had became with so much pride and joy That yes their is A GOD who specially chose you to be my child I always knew this and all of our battles in this temporary home I would fight again all I truly ever wanted for you was to be happy to be given the chance to find out who you were and wanted to be I would have traveled to the end of the world to see you .I am glad that me and Cullen got to see you in Pheonix Arizona and me and Cullen and your father made the trip to Houston so I could spend mothers day with you . I will always love you and I will celebrate your life everyday until I am no more. You told me right before memorial day weekend in one of our long talks I love my mom to death, I know that you had no doubt in your mind the feeling was mutual. everywhere I look I remember so many wonderful times and you were always insisting that our family home not be sold I could go anywhere I desired and we would always have that home to come back to so I will keep it because that was what you wanted. Chad you said I had always worked hard and you wanted to be just like me I am truly blessed that God gave me such a caring person in my life we helped each
other and I told You no you Don't want to be like me you want to be better and you were the best parts of me and you father and yes all families have bad times but you took all of this in stride and decided it was going to make you stronger more positive in your life and the choices that you made and for all of this I am very proud to say you are my son you are greatly missed most days I still feel like I can't breath I am so very thankful to God for all of our perfect imperfections you will never be forgotten Chad . son enjoy you perfect peace you deserve it.I will try to be a better person so I can see you again because love never fails and I have to trust that I have been left here for a reason. I always thought i needed to try to teach you as much as I could so that when I was gone you would be able to go on with your life.I do have fleeting moments of peace because I know that you don't have any worries and you have your mansion and you are with all your loved ones. So wait for mother oompa until we meet in eternity.

My precious grandson Chad. I never thought or wanted to be creating a memorial for you are any of my grandchildren or children. I am typing this as you know your mom doesn't have a computer now or like to type that much. She will leave you many messages after we get this site up and going. We have been working with your dad and others to get pictures and memories together and it has been a very emotional journey. As the circumstances of your death have been very troubling and we have no closure and you know it has taken us almost a month to get you here we will be continually updating and adding to this memorial as our minds clear a little and we remember things to honor you and that you would like. I am so thankful to have been given the honor of having you for my grandson and friend for these 22 years I just always thought it would be many more. I have been comforted by many memories but mostly by the talk we had in June, 2013 before you left -how I told you if I didn't see you again I would always love and be proud of you and just wanted you to be happy and have a wonderful life. I of course thought I would be the one to die but you insight-fully assured me that you were saved and I assured you that not miles or even death could ever separate our bond of love as love never fails as stated in I Corinthians 13:8. So I ache to put my arms around you but I feel our hearts entwined and know that I feel your love and you feel mine until we are together again in eternity. When I think of Your wonderful ancestry of christian family and friends that were waiting for you it just reaffirms what I keep telling your mother and others as we grieve for you that we are the ones suffering, you are in Paradise surrounded by perfect love - you are safe and expressionlessly happy.
I have and always will love my CHADDY WADDY Man--Granmommy Tanya
