I couldn't believe what your Sisters were telling me the night you got your wings. I wish we had more time, and I'm glad I got to talk to you on your birthday. I'm going to miss you so much. I Love you to the moon. Never forgotten... Always in my heart.Love You Mom

For those who do not know Chad came to me about 4 years ago wanting to get clean. Sure he had a few fall backs in the process but when he passed he was at least 98% clean. He was still struggling with the battle but he was winning the war.

Why couldn't you just give up the drugs and just take your kids back, I remember sitting at the children services visitation lobby waiting for you, but you never showed up multiple times. I think you should have know that I was adopted by a loving family and I will be applying to college in about 6 months. Chad, Tessa, and Edward (renamed Abram by his adopted parents) are living happy lives. I was adopted by a different family from the rest. ~ His oldest son with a previous name of Alexander Tyler Kinnaird (now named Alexander Charles Eastlick)

I'm going to love and miss my son in law for the rest of my days. We shared many laughs and good times as well as not so good times. I was extremely happy to be there for him when he needed someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on. I often felt more like his Mom than his mother in law. Rest in peace Chad, I'll see you on the other side. I love you.
