Dana, Howard, Chase, Bryce and Aidan,
Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. I love you and will see you tomorrow. We will be leaving around lunch time. I am sure that Tyler and Nana are having tea and some of her delicious cookies by now. He has her wrapped around his finger!
All my love,

dear howard, chase, bryce,& aidan,
17 years ago, sitting in that hopeful memphis hospital, i too, felt the loss that you are just experiencing. i remembering running as fast as i could out the door crying tears of pain, anger, and love not knowing where i was running- just hoping to escape the sadness.
i am so sorry. i have added your precious son's death on to my list of "why's" that i intend to ask God when i get to heaven.
we cannot begin to understand tragic losses like this, yet, i cannot imagine facing these battles without faith.
Mourn your loss, but focus on the happiness, the loving memories, & your family that love you.
Your heart is breaking, but eventually, parts of it will mend.
after 17 years, my parents can now speak about my brother with a smile and only a few tears.
healing is agonizing but you will find a way.
My deepest prayers for you,
julee hudson (tara's dacula friend)

Dear Howard, Dana, & Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of Tyler. It was truly my pleasure to care for him. You are a wonderful family and I will be laboring in prayer for your strength, comfort, and peace.

I am so incredible sorry for the pain and suffering you are now experiencing. I know you will find strength in your tight knit loving family and the burden will be just a bit lighter, because you bear it together. Our hearts break for you. Tara, Art & The Girls.... please know so many Dacula folks love you and are ready to take care of you when you return.
Dana, Howard, Chase, Bryce, Aidan and both of your extended families -from grandparents to cousins to aunts and uncles - We have been looking at the pictures of Tyler and his smile is so contagious. It is obvious that you provided him with a life full of love and his smile is surely a reflection of your love for him and what you showed him in his five years. May you always have that reflection of your love for him,through his smile, emblazoned on your hearts and lives forever. May God Bless,comfort and keep your entire family, may the Lord make His face to shine upon you and grant you His peace. With our love and prayers, Adrienne, David, Ryan & Tommy Haag
Dana, Howard, Chase, Bryce and Aiden,

I will be there on Friday, please let me know if there is ANYTHING that I can do to help.
I love you,
Suzi, Matt, Matthew and Jack Buckley
Our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy go out to your family. As parents of three children ourselves, we can only imagine your sense of loss. Take comfort and strength in the support that now makes our community seem considerably closer.
Even though I have never met this wonderful child, his story and the outpouring of love and support for Tyler and your family during these trying times is truly inspirational - renewing hope in humanity and faith in God. I will keep you in my prayers.
Howard and Dana,
Again, words cannot express my sympathy but as a brain tumor survivor, your generosity to St. Judes speaks volumes, and I would like to thank you.
Tyler obviously touched many many people during his life but now with your choice to send his memorial donations to St Judes for research his legacy will continue.
I am praying for you constantly and my heart still aches for your loss. God Bless you now and always.
DANA,HOWARD,CHASE,BRYCE,AIDAN,THE STAVOLA & SCOTT FAMILIES,
SO SORRY TO HEAR OF THE LOSS OF YOUR SON, TYLER. PLEASE ACCEPT OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY. OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS HAVE BEEN WITH YOU SINCE WE HEARD TYLER WAS AT ST JUDE. YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SPECIAL TO DONNIE & I AND I KNOW THAT IS HOW YOU MADE TYLER FEEL. SWEET DREAMS, TYLER.

Howard, Dana,Chase,Bryce and Aidan,
We cannot stop thinking and praying for you! You are a very special family and I know God has wrapped his loving arms around all of you. Tyler has a very special place in our hearts and we will always feel his spirit within us.
Just to give you a smile...Jessie reminder us of last summer when Jeff and Josh were making cement elemphant ears when the "Working Man" came around the corner and could not wait to get working with the cement. What a job he did mixing that concrete. Jeff and I just sat back and just watched.
He was so happy and had a blast. We did too!
We love all of you and we do know Tyler is with God and will always be watching over you.
Much love,
The Laney's
Jan, Jeff, Jessie and Josh
Dearest Scott Family,
The amazing memories of Tyler will remain in my heart forever. I will always remember what a sweet and kind person he was. He touched us all in so many ways, and I know he's up in heaven waiting on the rest of us to join him in the most wonderful place. I'll miss him so much. I love you all and If you need anything, please, let me know. I'll be there.
Love Always,
Catherine Seltzer
We have no words...lots of tears, heavy hearts, compassion and empathy for you, and a promise of hope from the One that gives us life everlasting, you will be with Tyler again in eternity.
Resting in that hope with you,

Friends of Allie has sent me to your site, I'm so very sorry for your loss. May God be with you all at this difficult time.
It's snowing in Charlotte this morning - our first snow of the season. I couldn't help but picture Tyler up there in Heaven telling God that it's about time the kids in Charlotte got to see at least a few flurries. We feel his presence all around us.
Scott Family,
Please know that Tyler was loved and will be missed by so many people. The effect Tyler - and your family - had on my sister's family (The Zitney's) will never be forgotten. Hearing them speak of Tyler made me sad I never got to meet him. Prayers will always continue and the memories of Tyler will be cherished.I know that many people are praying and hearts are hurting because of this loss. I only wish I had been given the chance to meet this wonderful child.
Dana, Howard, Chase, Bryce, and Aiden,
With heartfelt thoughts we want to express our deepest sympathy during this very difficult time. We hope you will find strength in all the prayers and comfort in the memories of Tyler's love for life.
May God Bless You,
Don, Leah, Sean, Drew, Kelly
Dana, Howard, Chase, Bryce, Aidan, Joan, Guy, Tara, Art, Ashley, Megan, Lisa, Mike, Kyle, Caitlyn, & Conner,

Peace be with you.

Song: Praise You In This Storm
I was sure by now
That You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say “Amen”, and it’s still raining
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
I’ll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I’ve cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can’t find You
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth
Sending the lyrics to this song to your loving family.

Our prayers are with you, we are so sorry for your loss. Calvin and Vickey Blake, your Sidel family in Atlanta

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered, "Come to me".
You didn't deserve what you went through,
So He gave you rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best
And when I saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again.
I wanted to let you know today i woke up and saw the snow and had a peaceful feeling come over me. Tyler was telling us all he is okay and that is loves us all. I had a better day today. My friends were very supportive. I am to stay strong for my other 3 buddies, TY the worker angel, mr. and mrs. scott, all of Ty's friends, my brother, and myself. Please let me know if you need anything. My memories and fun times will last me till my time to go and then i will see my special buddy again. I will get my usual hug and the cute smile. We will swim, work, and think back to our summer together. I miss him dearly and while i cry i think of all the times we laughed, played, or just sat toghether.
love you all,
jessie
Dearest Scott Family,
I hope you enjoyed the memory album that Mary Grace and I created for Tyler. We sat at McAlisters and talked about all our wonderful memories with Ty. I've never loved a little boy so much. That book we made is so special, we kept reading it over and over again because we loved it so much. I hope you really like it and share it with your friends and family. We're always here for you and We love you.
Dear Dana, Howard, Chase, Bryce and Aidan,
We are so sorry for your heartache. We are still praying for you and Tyler. You're in our hearts.
Elisabeth McMahon (Lynne's sister)
About 20 Sharon Baptist & Beverly Woods moms prayed together on Wednesday. Many were moms of Tyler's classmates. We cried and cried and then cried out to the Lord. We asked for blessings of love, kindness, unity, comfort, strength, rest and peace for you all.
I too thought of Tyler this morning when I saw the snow - like he was sharing with us little pieces of heaven. I just couldn't help but smile!
Dear Dana & Howard,
I have been trying to find the right words for several days now. I guess there aren't any "right" ones. Please know that you have been in our thoughts and prayers. My heart is so heavy for you both.
The boys said a special prayer for Aiden, Bryce, & Chase asking God if He could get Tyler and they could watch over them until they felt a little better.
I will continue to think of you and keep you in our prayers.
Shannan & Bill Schaffer & the Triplets (Andrew, Brendan, William)
Dear Howard, Dana & boys,
I do not even know your family but have had you all close to my heart since I received a prayer request from a friend for Tyler & his "team" last week via email. You all are in our family's thoughts and prayers. May you continue to feel God's loving presence as he keeps you in the palm of his hand during this time of loss and healing.
In Christ's Love
Dear Dana , Howard and all of your Family, I have found so much comfort in reading all of these accoulades to Tyler-he is sooo special and will always remain so. He entered my heart in the beginning of the school year and will always remain. I smiled today also when I saw the snow, and I thought of Tyler. We are missing him in our class. Our love and prayers. Kate Babler
I was just recently asked to pray for your son through a group list. I have been where you are now standing. Three years ago, my firstborn daughter died of a brain tumor that we were aware of for 3 days. She had only been ill for less than 3 weeks. I and my family will be lifting your family up in prayer for some time to come. I am so sorry for your loss. I kept an online journal of my journey through this valley. http://www.caringbridge.org/tx/adrienne
You are welcome to look through it. I cannot say that I don't cry any more, but my memories are sweet and I have learned to be thankful for every day we spent together. The Compassionate Friends organization was invaluable to my husband and me learning to live with this giant hole in our hearts. http://www.compassionatefriends.org/
There is also a 24 hour chat room for the grieving http://www.groww.org
These are things that helped me after a space of time, but I know right now that nothing helps and no words can adequately comfort. You are in my prayers.
Nichelle
There is a new precious angel in heaven who is building his own special ladder to a treehouse in heaven. God Bless each of you - you are in our prayers and in our heavy, heavy hearts.
Howard and Dana,
We are devastated and can only say we are with you in thoughts and prayers. we know Tyler is at rest and at peace. I showed our 11-month old twins Bryce and Quinn your Christmas card and told them Tyler was now a little angel. they pointed to his picture. God has another angel by his side. We'll hopefully see you soon. Love,
Lionel and Heidi Bienvenu
Dana, Howard,Chase, Bryce, and Aidan
You are in our hearts constantly, especially today - be warmed by the love and support of everyone around you.
All our love,
Amy, Steve and Tyler Little
Howard, Dana and Family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. All of you have been in my families' prayers since I learned of this.
We continue to pray for strength and comfort for all of you.
Lots of Love,
Trevor & Julie Landry
To Tyler's Mommy:
I too lost a child. At age 13, she sustained a brain stem injury and died 3 days later. I have been praying for your son, Tyler since my friend, Libby Sikora (Emma Grace is in his class) told me about your son's illness.
I am heartbroken. My heart aches for you...there is no pain like it. It is physically, spiritually and mentally draining. And the only comfort I can tell you is that Jesus has a special place in his heart for the Mommy's who've lost their babies as he saw his mother's broken heart when he looked down from the cross to die for all of us. Stay close to Jesus and he will comfort you. He will send you signs of peace that Tyler is in his precious care. One day you will be with him again and nothing will ever be able to seperate you.
My intense prayers are with you and your family,
Dear Dana, Howard and brothers,
News of your beautiful son's battle reached me today through someone in your parish community. I ache so much for your family, but I pray that you can be lifted up by Tyler's spirit and the love and support of all the open hearts in your community. God put us here to love and help one another and I know you feel that love surrounding you now. Your little worker man has put them all to work.
Howard & Dana
I am so sorry to hear about Tyler. He was such a precious little boy.
God Bless you and your family during this difficult time. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Cammie & Shane
Howard,Dana, Chase, Bryce, and Aidan,
I was deeply sorrowed by the terrible news I heard yesterday. I don't know what to say except I am praying for you and Tyler in heaven.
You guys have blessed us with such happiness as a result of your beautiful family. May God bless you and your family and give you the strength to get through this.
Deepest Sympathy,
Chris Marshall
Dear Dana, Howard and family,
We are thinking and praying for you and your families constantly. Our hearts are with you and may God bless you all during this very difficult journey. You have a beautiful family and a very strong support system. We are all here for you and your family, in faith and prayer and anything you may need. Love and God Bless, Pat and Lillian Murray
Like everyone else words can't express how sorry i am for your loss. I spoke to my brother Robert and he told me how peaceful Tyler looked last night at the viewing. He is now with the angels looking over your entire family
Alan Saionz
Dearest Howard and Dana, You and Tyler were only in my life for a short while, but I felt as if I knew each of you for a lifetime. I will forever remember Tyler as he had such an impact on my life.
Thank you for allowing me to be with you guys on your journey back to Charlotte. Take care, my prayers are with each of you.
With love

Dear Howard and Dana,
Claudine's words are so true. And, Uncle Lenny will have Tyler two-stepping with his Nana just as soon as those cookies are finished.

I saw this poem and thought I would share. author Unknown
When tomarrow Starts Without Me
When tomarrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see.
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me,
I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today
While thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomarrow starts without me, please try to understand
That an angel come and called my name and took me by the hand
And said my place was ready, in heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned ato walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
For all my life I'd always thought I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for , so much left yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the ones and the bad.
I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while.
I'd say good-bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized that this could never be,
For emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things I might miss come tomarrow,
I thought of you , and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates, I flet so much at home
When God looked down and smiled at me from HIs great golden throne.
He said, "This is eternity, and all I've promised you.
Today your life on earth is past, but here life starts anew.
I promise no tomarrow, but today will always last,
And since each day's the same way, there's no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful, so trusting and so true,
Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven and now at last you're free,
So won't you come and take my hand and share my life with me?"
So when tomarrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.
Dana and Howard,
We are so very sorry to hear about Tyler. I cannot even begin to know the heartache that you must feel. We have been praying for you over the last few days and will continue to lift you up everyday. We pray that the Lord will comfort you and fill you both with a peace that passes all understanding.
In His Love,
Danny and Peggy Church
I am so terribly sorry to hear of the loss of your sweet little boy. I will be praying that you may have comfort at this very trying time.
Terri in Arkansas
To the Scott Family,
Our hearts are filled with sorrow for the loss of Tyler. We pray for God's healing power to help you cope with such a loss. Heaven now has the best little worker-man watching over all of you.
