Death by Murder (gunshot to the chest)

Dear Tyrone:

Tears of sadness, and tears of

Guilt what could we have

Done to prevent these people

To kill? We miss your smile and miss

You most of all... we talk to you,

But we can't see you or hear you.

You were a superstar, in baseball

As a shortstop, you were the best

In Coronado High School, you were

The second best in the state, your

Coaches really missed your athletic

Abilities... we will forever hold you

In our hearts. We are sorry that we

Would never attend your graduation

Or your wedding, and watching you

being the wonderful Dad for your son.

When you were a little boy, you loved to

Have your pictures taken, and you loved

peanut butter cookies, your favorite

cereal was Captain Crunch.

Then you grew to be a man... you

Went into the Youth Academy and came

Out with honors of excellence... you were

Sensitive and compassionate to people...

Your two favorite ladies that you love the

Most was your sister Chrys and your Mom.

But your main man was your brother Ben.

You were not a bad person, you had your

Own style of doing things, you are a very

Unique and a very special part of our

Lives... You are also sadly missed at your

Former school at Thomasville High, they

Said you were the superstar in football

They were sorry to see you go... we have

Had alot of good memories... once you

Were afraid to step on the sand at the

Beach, you thought you were sinking, but

You got over that and became the handsome

Island boy. Then you were playing with your

Scooter by the edge of the pool and you fell

In to the bottom, you didn't know how to

Swim, but you were saved by some friends

That could swim... you had many friends

And ladies that adore you... Tyrone you were

Born a leader, your teachers said so... God

Needed you somewhere else and I am angry

That you left us so young and so soon... You

Loved your pet dog named Rage, and your

Favorite car 1998 Chevy Blazer, which your

Sister Chrys is taking very good care of.

We want you to know that since you've been

Gone, it left a huge hole and emptiness

In our hearts. But it gives us comfort

To know that God, our Maker, is enjoying

Your Beautiful smile and humor, you are

Greatly missed, Son. We will always love

You forever in our hearts. You will never

Be forgotten... till we all meet someday...

We know you'll watch over us... We love you

Forever, Mom, Jim, Ben and Chrys.
