Amber, hey its Tyler. I know you've had your fair share of sorrows, by my heart and prayers are with you. If there ever were a strong enough woman, it would be you, and I know you will be a great and loving mother to those kids. Tony was an awsome kid and he will be missed. Mostly I'll miss his smart-arse remarks. Remember though, only his body is gone and his spirit will watch over you, Maylee and Mikel always.##imported-begin##Tyler Sowles##imported-end##
I don't really know what to say, but i'm really sorry. i couldn't believe it at first, and it's still kind of hard to. i was never really close to tony, but i rode the bus with him since 4th grade and he was so funny. and so nice.
i'll pray for all of you every chance i get, i have, and i haven't stopped yet, and i dont intend on it anytime soon.
god bless.##imported-begin##mandie udell##imported-end##
