Dear Sweetie,

 Today is the 4th of July and it brings back fond memories of past years.All these memories will

be forever with us. You wre and are a great grandson in whom we loved and adored.That will

never change not matter what.Sister wrote about our trip to Glen Rose and how much fun we had. We did have fun and you both discovered life continued and you could still have fun without a

car radio. I remember you playing in our backyard for hours. You would be a cowboy for awhile and then you were a narc. You taught me so much about boys. Boys are special and a lot more

sensitive in ways that girls aren't. I don't know many grandsons that went with their MiMis and had a good time. I will never forget our trips, laughs, crys and joys we shared. However, fireworks were not your things when you were small. Scared you to death but later on your became too darig, tothe point We were afraid you would blow your hand off. Ha. I laugh so much about some of the things you did. There are a million memories left and will send those at a later Time.

Know you are happy and with us each day. Love MiMi and Papa

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With 4th of July approaching it reminded me of when you were about 3 and I took you and Amber up to Tomball High School to watch the fireworks display.  I thought you would love it.  Poor baby, it scared you half to death and we had to leave.  You were petrified from the loud booms, and you shook and cried.  But then, as you got older, you were no longer afraid.  As a matter of fact, I had to keep an eye on you with any fireworks, as you had no fear at all and one time about blew your hand up from lighting to many fire crackers in your hand and then you could not throw them fast enough.  BUT..I do have to say it scared you to and taught you a lesson and you did not do that anymore...you were about 13 or 14.  That was one thing about you, when it came to danger, it only took you once, and you learned your lessons and you never attempted again. Even when it came to driving, you drove like a grandpa....we would laugh how you just kicked back, put your right arm up on the back of the seat and you would drive off like you were on a Sunday drive.  You were that way even as an adult. Now non-danger things and learning a lesson...now that was all togther different.....LOL.....it was like grow up!!!  LOL

I was looking out at the traffic at work today and it reminded me of the time we went with Mimi to Glen Rose the radio was broken and that was 5 hour drive. We played games and talked alot and laughed alot. It was quiet and all of the sudden I started making noises as the cars came by and you started it as well and we had Mimi rolling with laughter at us. I started to do that with the cars outside my window a minute ago and thought of you! Everytime I get bored I will do that and you can join me! It was so much fun and something you do not forget b/c it was so weird.

          Keep my memory with you, for memories never die; I will be there with you, when you look across the sky. I will be there in the clouds, in the birds that fill the air; in the beauty of a fragrant rose, you will find my memory there. You will feel me in the tenderness of a tiny baby's touch; you will hear me if you listen, in the twilights gentle hush. When your hearts are heavy and you feel that you are alone; just reach down deep inside of you, for your heart is now my home. I will always be with you, I will never go away; for I will live on in your hearts, forever and a day. 

 

I remember when you got to go to Vegas with your friend. You were so excited  and glad to go. You ahd a blast. Call from there and tell all of your stories. You got Harlie a shirt someone who loves me went to Las Vegas and all I got was this shirt! I still have that and I will keep it forever. You also got her a little shirt My Uncle Loves Me I saved that one as well that was when she was about 6 months old! She talks about you all the time. We miss you here!

Good Morning!!! I think of you each day but esecially today. It's been 2 months to the day and I will forever remember that day. We talked about 4 or 5 times that day. I was so looking forward to you being home, even though I know you enjoyed your trip. The last time I talked to you you were so happy and told me you had a good time on your trip and how the girls thought you had a funny accent. But you were glad to be back. That was 7:33 and by 8:30 you had been escorted by Jesus to heavan. I was thinking this morning how fortunate we were to have been your grandparents, even though you reminded us at times you weren't 5 years old, and we cherised all our times together.I think of that day over and over and remember   lunch on Friday and what a good time we had. The owner of the resturant said it was so uncommon for a Grandson to enjoy being with his MiMi and her friends as not many  grandsons would not do that  and have a good time. We did laugh that day. We all loved you. An will always remember and special days with you which was each day. Fly with the angels.

I just found out the news and wanted to express my deepest condolences to Chance's family. I grew up a couple of streets away from Chance and although we lost touch, I still remeber fondly all of the summers we spent hanging out around Bridgestone. He was the type of person that cared about his friends and always looked after them. He will be greatly missed.

 

Chance,
The day you were born was so special, because you were our first BOY in the family for so many years. How excited we were when you were born.
Your mom was  kind enough to share you and Amber with me for many years. Since I was the OLDEST sister with no children at the time, I got to borrow both of you and pretend. We had some seriously fun times. I was remembering when we all were at Six Flags in San Antonio, then Schlliterbahn, all the trips to the Houston Zoo, and to McDonalds, and of course the toy store..

YOU were so sweet and helpful with Jon Jon when we all went back to Schlliterbahn after he was around 4 or so. You watched over him and helped him drag that tube all over the park.
Of course how can Aunt Missy forget the many times you all spent the night in my crowded little one bedroom condo, never complaining, because I had plenty of cookies and candy. WE would stay for hours at the local swimming pool and then come home and watch cartoons..

I dressed you all up and took you to see the singing Christmas tree at Second Baptist for many years. YOU so enjoyed the gingerbread tour and sat very still during the performance.
You were and are a handsome young man..
I had to laugh thikning about the time I took you and Jon Jon to eat for your birthday at TGI Fridays and then you both had a chocolate brownie SUGAR ice cream fix. YOU then escaped and got on the hotel elevators and just when I thought I would get you , you would shut the door and off you would go!!
Tres Rios, OH BOY, did you and Jarred have fun. I remember the family that told me how nice you were because you took them on a very special hay ride..and you were in great shape from hauling all of those canoes. Thank you for all your hard work while at Tres Rios.. and even though you were scared of the animals, I do remember you would brush the ponies..and YOU did ride a horse at our family reunion!!
You touched many lives and it showed.. There were so many people at your funeral, all of whom truly loved you.
How blessed I was to have you as a nephew.. we will keep your memory alive for many years to come and promote SAD all over Texas.. so help us if you can!!


Love you
Aunt Missy

While it is easy to say that we know you are in a better place and we know that JESUS came and got you personally, ( WOW>>) you are still missed so very much..

Was looking at your baby pictures last night and remembering what a beautiful baby you were.  You and your sister both were such beautiful children.  You were so sweet and huggable and you never cried, just always layed there and let people hold you and hug and kiss on you.  But you were always a little hungry thing.  Those times seem so long ago and then again, just like yesterday.  I wish it was 25 years ago and just beginning.  Oh how things would have been different.  But God has a plan for all of us and we cannot control that.  You grew into a true rambuncious little boy.  In and on everything.  Don't think that ever changed....hehehe.  You loved being outside 24/7.  It was always hard to get you you to come into the house.  But...you were an early to sleep and early to riser.  Hitting the pavement even before daylight ready to see the world and conger up what mischief you were after that day.  haha  You LOVED sports and being a part of them in whatever capacity.  I remember one fall season you could not play because I didn't have the money, plus it was just the fall season and no competition or scoring so I let that fall season pass.  You were so broken hearted and I still remember that and am sorry for that. But we made up for it for the next 8 years.  You were good at whatever sport you played.  Baseball, Football, Track (real good in track), who would have known that small framed young man had that in him...but you did, and I was so proud.  And All Men's Choir...well that was just something and you had developed that really deep voice then that you have now and how well you sounded in the group with your boys...Curtis, Justin, Steven, and Michael.  Those were the days.  Lukas, I think, will follow in those same footsteps.  He loves anything to do with a sport that has balls.  He is a lot like you, you know.  Even looks alot like you as a little boy.  He will miss knowing his Uncle Chance and we will never let him forget you or Harlie forget you.  Don't think we have to worry about Harlie forgetting you, as you were the apple of her eye and her yours. She talks about you and misses you daily and will never ever forget you.  I was so looking forward to your children someday because you had so much love for children and what a great father you would have been to your kids.  But now you can watch over and mentor the one's we do have from heaven and they will soar and we will know that you have everything to do with all the grand things they will give us and we will thank you for that.  May God help you soar in heaven and make you happier than you have ever been. That is my peace.  I love you and forever miss you, and look forward to seeing you again which will be the HAPPIEST day of my life.

 

Love, Mom

Thought about you a lot today but that is every day. I think of your sweet smile and your teasing. I would like to see you come home with stories about work and how much you did in commissions. We painted your room a pretty blue because it was your favorite color. Today when I went to visit I prayed that we not question why you were taken from us. God had a plan for you and he lifted you up

to higher levels. You have entered paradise. We feel your peace. We will always love you and you'll always be our 25 year old grandson. Some of our patients have sent condolences and flowers as they were so fond of you and saw your heartfelt concern for them. I know you will soar with the angels and sometime ride that raindrop. Love eternally, MiMi & Papa
