Kyle this is the day we dread. We know it's coming, we wish we could somehow stop it, but that is not possible. Here it is again. The pain that is forever burned in to our soul, and is absorbed in to every aspect of our lives. We move forward, we do this the best we can, holding you tight in our hearts and minds. Forever missed, Forever Loved, Forever our FreeBird!!!

Happy Birthday Kyle! Another year without you here. You are missed each and every day! I know you wanted children, that is so painful, knowing we would have had Grandchildren. My heart breaks, I can't hear others talk about their Grand Babies, without wanting to run away! You changed my Life two times, the day you were born, and the day you crossed over. Forever Loved, Forever Missed, forever our FreeBird!

Kyle, today is that day we dread every year. No matter had badly I want it wiped of the calendar, it comes, and screams at me anyway! I remember every second, minute, hour, after waking that morning that forever changed our lives. It was surreal, yet, I felt you with me, as if you were sharing my body! That's heard to explain. There are no words to describe all we have lost with your absence, the grief is so powerful, but it dims in the light of the Love! I will never understand why our family was fractured, why you were sent "Home", but I must be thankful for the years my life was Blessed with you as my Son! I will forever be your Mom! Some will asked how long it's been, I say, every morning, every morning!

Kyle, we had a lovely day with Ethan and Jenna on your Birthday. Celebrating your life is a Blessing, you, are a Blessing! As I got into the car to leave, you let us know you were there with us! FreeBird came on JUST as I sat down! It is a gift you keep giving us! It is so amazing, I looked at Dad, and he said, "It wasn't me! I knew it was you, but it is such a gift, It still amazes me every time! We love and miss your physical presence with each and every breath we take, until our last! We feel you around us, and know your everywhere, all the time!! The cord is as strong as ever!

Kyle, Ethan joined us today to spend time together on your Angelversary. It was nice that he could come, just hard to see the fourth chair empty. We always had four chairs. This day, is a day I wish I could make disappear. I think of you all the time, I wonder what you would be doing, how many kids you would have, and so many other things, endless dreams, never dreamt. This day, this day that changed everything, robbed us, Ethan, and YOU, of our future. I'm not one of the Mom's that can find something positive in your not being here, there is NOTHING positive about that! What I will keep doing is continuing to put one foot in front of the next, and doing the best I can in your absence. Love and miss you, my amazing son!

Dear Kyle, this is a mile stone birthday, 35! My heart is heavy, yet free as a "Bird," because of you, my son! Words seem small compared to the love I feel for you. There is really no words that describe that deep love that a parent feels for a child. I will love you, and grieve your loss till the end of my life. You are with me everyday, in my heart, forever!

April 10th is always a hard day and always will be not a day goes by I don't think about you. 6 years ago I posted something on Facebook I told you I had a son I named Aden in your memory and I kept my promise he is now 6 years old and he knows about you and how much you mean to me and the memories we share together. I miss you and love you always.

It's 8:37 in the morning, by now we were shattered. Our world was forever changed. Ethan was scared, we were in shock, numb, broken. I remember every heart braking moment of that day I wish I could forget, but instead will haunt me the rest of my life. Every morning since that day, I wake up and it begins all over. Life without you in it, at least, not the way it was. Dad, Ethan and I, will live with your absence, as long as we live on this side. The loss is beyond words, the longing beyond understanding, the grief is unending. Kyle, you gave me my purpose, Ethan, doubled, that! Until you made me a Mom, I had no idea how beautiful life was!

Cant believe you are 34 today. I find myself lost in thoughts of you. I find it strange that you seem so close, yet, so far, I guess there is just no way of understanding why you left. When you left for the Army, I thought I would never survive our separation, I had no idea what was to come. It was only a rehearsal for what was ahead of us. What I have the hardest dealing with is all that we would have if you were still here with us, your wife, your children, our Grandchildren. Every Birthday , Christmas, all the holidays and the laughter, pictures, videos, I love yous, hugs, memories, endless love. You touched so many lives, made such a difference in the world, you changed mine forever, and forever I will love you for that. Love Always and Forever, your Mom!

Ten years! I can say, write it, but I can't believe it! How can it be possible that you have been gone ten years? So much has happened, much has changed, yet, missing you, your absence, is ever present. It is the one thing I can't escape. It is a prison, death row, my only way out is my own death. Hard truth, but truth. We know you are with us, sending us signs, FreeBird! Ethan is doing wonderful, I wish you knew Jenna, they are very much in love. I know you love him very much, you always were a wonderful big brother. Dad and I miss you every day, you are a treasure, a gift. We were given you as our son, and for that we will be forever blessed!

Kyle how can you be 33??? I know you are around us all the time, you pop in just like you use to, just to say Hi and visit with us. I loved watching you take things in, you would just watch, and be present, I loved that! There are no words that have ever been able to express our sorrow, it is what it is. I know you were there when your beloved brother Ethan was married, they are so happy, and they included you on their special day. We will keep going living in your honor, keeping your memory alive. You are forever loved, forever missed! Forever our FreeBird!!!

Kyle, how can it be nine years??? How can that even be possible?? I don"t know how we got here all these years later. I woke up, this morning not wanting to get out of bed, as if I some how could change what happened. We have lost so much, Ethan has lost so much! I know he misses you, my heart breaks for him, thank God he has Jenna! Your Dad is my rock, but he misses you, he cries, I cry. One day, one minute at a time. HPH, has saved us, the most wonderful people on this side, they are our Heaven, till we cross over. We love you beyond words, we will keep you in our world as long as we breath!

Kyle, it's your Birthday, 32 years ago you made me the happiest I have ever been! Becoming your Mom was life changing, I had no idea what I was missing! Becoming your Mom was the most amazing thing that ever happened to me, I felt like I was finally here for a purpose, my life had true meaning! I knew we had to give you a little brother or sister, so along came our other purpose, Ethan! Our life was complete! Much has happened since you crossed over, but you are always with us, that I KNOW! FOREVER LOVED, FOREVER MISSED!

Our Kyle, How I wish this day had no meaning for us, just another day, not the day that took you from our lives. But here we are again, # eight. My mind can't even believe that! We miss you move then there are words to express the empty space is all around us always, never to end. Ethan is getting married, he told me yesterday that he will not have a Best man, because you are him. There will be a place for you at the grooms table, no one could take your place. That made me cry. I cry most days, of course I do, I'm your mom and I miss you! I know you are with us, yet we miss the presence of you, looking into your beautiful blue eyes, seeing that amazing smile that would light up a room! You are loved, forever!

Happy 31st Birthday Kyle! I still can't believe your not going to walk in the door. My heart will be forever broken, never to be hole ever again. We live, but life will never be pure joy as we once knew it to be. There is so much missing, so much that was/is never to be. Loving you will keep me going, the love is what gives me a reason to keep breathing, I feel your love, I love you so much!! Always and Forever my son!

Our Dear Kyle, We still can not wrap our minds around that you are not here with us in flesh. You are in my head 24/7, it is so hard without you. So much has been lost, so much! Ethan, has lost the most, our hearts break for him. Your future was taken from all of us, I sometimes don't know how we keep going, and there is the guilt I feel for it. I know you send us signs often, thank you so much for them, they are a life line for us!! Thank you for picking us as your family, even though it was too short of time, I would not have missed a moment of our life together, it was a dream come true having you as our son!! You not only served our country, you served our lives and made me a better person for having you as my son!! I will love you the rest on my life, and will miss you with every breath I take!!!

Dearest Kyle - Happy 30th Birthday. My head and heart cannot comprehend that 7 years has pasted. Days start and end....the sun rises and sets...but the thought of you gone from this earthly life stays forever engrained in our hearts. I know your mother will never get over this loss and survives each day because of the enduring love and devotion she has for you. Please keep watching over her until one day she holds you in her arms again. One day I will see you too....when the Lord brings us all together...and Elwood will be in my arms. Life is so hard to understand at times....but love and faith keeps us going. Sending hugs and love to heaven.

Our dear Kyle, your 30th Birthday!! What would your life be like today? Married I'm sure, and kids too! So much has been lost since you passed. Ethan has lost the most, my heart breaks for him every day! We keep going, the grief slowly absorbs into our soul becoming a part of us, it will never leave us, any more then our love for you will ever leave us! You changed our lives in more ways then I can say, we will forever be blessed that you chose to be our son!! Love you forever!

My heart knows 4-10-10 too well. I remember what I was doing & where I was when I heard the terrable news. I know too well the pain of a child lost. Wish I could fix it. Ethan walks in this world for two.

I'm sitting here thinking what I would give to go back in time and change what happened six years ago tomorrow. I'm struggling what to say, because there are no words to describe the loss we feel with your
absence in our lives. Though the signs help, they are in no way enough. Ethan bought his first house yesterday, something you never got to do, so many things you never got to do, so many dreams, plans hopes, that will never happen, so much loss. So much grief, so many tears. Kyle, we love and miss you with every breath we take, forever lover, forever missed!

Remembering when Kyle was in charge of the JUSTICE Complex security-take your child to work day. That boy became a fine young man. So glad I watched him grow up. So glad his gmom, Nana, didn't know he passed to a better life. Missing u, Aunt Bonnie

Dear Kyle - Today you celebrate your 29th birthday in the arms and protection of your Heavenly Father. I hope your mother is finding comfort in the fond memories of what a beautiful, kind and compassionate young man you grew to be. I pray that her day is filled with smiles of all the tender moments you shared together on earth. One day our spiritual life will begin and we will join you in the forever love and eternal life you are enjoying. Please send your mother and father a sign of your endless love for them. Until we all meet again Kyle...sending affection and special birthday wishes.

My dear, Nita, Glenn and Ethan, My heart breaks every time I read your words. I watched Gail's son, in uniform, give his mother the folded flag on the anniversary of your pain, remembering the day I watching a man in uniform hand you the flag. Wish I could fix it. Kyle is missing so much and Patty to. She is a grandmother and will never hold her granddaughter. Kyle really hurts me just as much because he was so young. YOUR world is upside down,,,,,so,so, sorry.

Kyle, I cannot believe it has been 5 years since your mother called me with the devastating news that God called you Home. I had no words that could truly comfort her - you were and will always be the light of her life. My heart breaks knowing how much she misses you. I pray that God gives her the strength to carry on until she holds you again for Eternity. Please continue to send her signs of your love every chance you can. You are forever missed - forever loved - and never forgotten. XO

Kyle it has been five years since you left us, how is that even possible? Seeing others go on with their lives, getting married, having babies, just living, is so hard for me. I'm happy for them, but why not you? Why are you gone, never to dance with you at your wedding, hold your babies, no more birthdays, no more pictures, you will never be an uncle, Ethan has lost is brother, his forever best friend. Why? I will never understand, ever! You are loved and missed more then I can express, We live and breath with broken hearts, and push on as best that we can, but we will never be whole again.

Another year doesn't matter-the sadness is the same. 
So very hard when a child is lost, the heart can not heal,
feeling empty doesn't go away. Missing those loved and lost
stays the same. Some day the circle will not be broken.
Love you, Glen, sister and Ethan----love you more, Bonnie

Happy 28th Birthday our amazing Kyle!! We love and miss you with every breath we take! Our lives will never be the same, never be as bright, or feel the same amount of joy, it has all changed. Everything changed the moment you left this place. We keep going, one step after another. You are in my head 24/7, and that is hard, I don't even have words to express what it is like now. I just want you back, I just want you back!

God took you to be with Him long before we ever imagined. As each year passes, those who love you miss you more each day. Your memories lives in our hearts forever. I will always remember the kind gentle young boy I knew who loved to help others - especially the homeless animals. I pray everyday for your mother that she continues to find the strength to carry on knowing one day you will be in her arms again when God reunites you. Until then, please continue to visit her and let her know you are by her side each and every day. One day we will all be together for Eternity in God's heavenly place where only love and peace exist. Please take care of my dear sweet Elwood, Phoenix, Casey and all my other beloved animals - I know you will take good care of them until God calls me Home too. Hugs and love Kyle as you celebrate your birthday with God and all the angels.

Remembering is hard. Daddy was born 1913/died 2013 on Kyle's birthday-Feb.26, 2010. My Patty died Jan. 13, 2013. Mom passed 2013.
April 10, 2010--tragedy - too many numbers. Kyle did so much in his too short life-the shock is still there in my heart - remembering the day and time I got the news. He was wonderful. Ethan had to say good buy to his brother to soon. I wish I could take all the hurt away-sadly I can't. Only know that you all are in my thoughts and not on this day only.
Remember-God has a plan and HE loves us-maybe we loved them more.  Sister-on my leg is- LOVE YOU MORE
April 10, 2014
April 10, 2014
Kyle - you were always the joy of your mother's heart. Please keep sending her love and signs of your presence - she misses you so much. I don't know why God does what he does, but I do know in time when God calls your mother home - you will greet her and what a joyous day that will be for her. Until then, we will continue to celebrate what a gift you were to her, to your father, to Ethan, and so many others.

No one knows how hard it is to loose a child. I wish I could take the pain away from you all and someone could help me. As Patricia would say---we can't go backwords. Each day is still a blessing and all who have passed would want us to live our lives and be happy.

Words can not say how hard it is to face these losses. Dad, Kyle-now Patricia and Mom. Kyle, you have tought us to love unconditionally and forgive everything. Each person is special. We may not have another day to tell someone we love them. You are in charge of hugs on the other side-give many. I so  l o v e you all - Aunt Bonnie

Yesterday, I can remember your mother with you inside. I watched you grow into a wonderful young man. Then I lost close contact, but you were always in my thoughts. The day that I found out of your "traveling on", old memories rushed to my head. And, guess what, they are still there. I will see you again.

Happy birthday sweetheart! Not a day that goes by that I don't stop to think of you. I cry every time I hear your name, I reminisce about all the good memories that we shared. The love that we had, and the love that was taken, but it will never die. You are the reason for my strength and my will to live on. I love you so much Kyle, and I only hope that you feel the same.

Kyle, we are so fortunate to have your parents in our lives! I am sure that you and Morgan brought us together. We love having your parents so close by, and we are always happy to share memories of our two amazing boys. Thank you for working so hard from the other side to ensure that our lives are full and happy.

A day to ride

February 26, 2013
What started out as a beautiful day in Virginia to take a small ride turned into a very long day of riding. This was my first time ridding with Kyle and another buddy of his. We left FT Eustis and headed to VA Beach. It was a very shall I say interesting ride. I will never forget this day. We were cruising along the highway minding our own business and all the sudden a car came up on our rears there was no one in the passing lane so he had plenty of room to pass we sped up a bit the car then swirved out around us and passed only to cut us off causing us to lock up tires made the three of us upset so we did what anyone would do we passed this guy lined 3 up across the highway so no one could pass and slowed down to about 35 mph. It was a heavily populated road day so we wasn't really holding a bunch of traffic up just a few cars.lol. Though we had helmets on you could tell we each had a big smile on our face. The next exit the jerk got off and we continued our ride. We stopped for lunch and was talking life and bikes and about what he had just done laughing the whole time. Kyle got an idea in his head to ride to another Army base that was around 1.5 to 2 hours away. It was starting to get late so yes of course we went. We made our way there just shy of an hour and what a fun ride it was. We met up with some friends of kyles and hung out it was close to 11pm so we figured we need to head back home there was a accident that block 95 traffic from moving. We sat for what seemed forever till we got the bright idea of going down a on ramp with our bikes off so we wouldn't be seen. This want your normal in ramp it was like a mile long and had a real Sharp bend in it now mind u we have no lights onand its very dark. I don't know how the firt guy made it but Kyle and myself found our ways off the road and n a field laughing at how we were going off roading with our Rockets we made our way down to the main road at this point we had no clue were we was and no one spoke English at the gas stations. What should have been an hour ride home turned into a 3 hour ride with a lot of back tracking. It was a great time. Only wish we could do it again.
