I love you Bodie, and will miss you. Update by Jamie

I don't even know how to start this post, a lot of times it is not so difficult to express my words written down but this time is so much harder and I don't even know where to begin. Especially after reading the thoughts of my sisters, I just cry and wonder what to say. Tyler is such a special person and I can't say how much that I love him and adore him. He has such a huge heart and so much love and respect for everyone around him. Even if he didn't like someone he showed respect towards them. His manners were so great, especially when he was in the care center, he showed so much gratitude to others and realized the efforts of others on his behalf. We have all been so blessed to have Tyler with us for almost 3 months longer than we expected, and we have all gained a stronger love towards him. Heavenly Father has blessed and comforted Tyler and is ready to take him home. I know without a shadow of a doubt that we will all see Tyler again someday. How lucky for him to be away from the evils of the world and go to a better and more peaceful place, a place where there are no temptations to do evil. A place where so many family members are and will welcome him with open arms. We know that Tyler will be well taken care of and will be guided into heaven by grandma and grandpa who just passed away last year. I know Tyler will be there to guide us through when it is our time to pass on as well. He is the leader of the pack now and will greet us and guide us there. I am so grateful that Tyler had this time to repent of his sins and grow closer to the Lord and have a greater faith in Him. As someone once said not too long ago, our trial is not so much what we are going through physically but the trial is knowing how to grow a greater faith in the Lord and understand that He knows our needs. I know Tyler has done this and it is time for him to do good on the other side. He will be a great teacher and leader to others there.

I love you Tyler, I will miss you like crazy. I will miss going up a 2-3 times a week to see you and help you and make sure you were being taken care of. You will NEVER be forgotten. You will still be our baby brother though physically you will not be here. I KNOW we will see you again, and will still be our baby brother. Having the title of the "Baby" will never be taken away from you. That is a special role you played here on this earth and will continue to stay with you. Your spirit is so strong and I have no doubt that you will do so much good on the other side.
As Lisa said, "God be with you till we meet again...."

tears. I love you. tears. I love you. tears, tears, tears.
