Its getting close to that time again and I still think about you almost everyday. The void you've left can never be replaced by time alone.I love you Bryce, you were a truelly good person and today those are hard to find. Sometimes it feels like your around watching us but it's most likely just my imagination. I just hate thinking of a world without you in it. Its much colder and a lot darker now. Sure, the sun still shines but it was a little warmer when you were with us. God I miss you.

To my only precious son,you were the BEST son a mom could ever wish for.Out of all the mothers in the world,God picked me to be yours.I am truly blessed.Although I can't understand why God took you,I have to believe He has some very special reason.I know you know how much I love you,it can't be measured.The pain of loosing you is unbearable.I know you wouldn't want me to cry so much,I'm sorry,I just miss you with all my heart and soul.
You are the most wonderful person I ever knew.You have the biggest heart,everyone that knew you loved you.It's been 55 days since you went to Heaven and it's so hard to believe your gone.You would appreciate the littlest things,like when we last went to the zoo.That was such a special day,I'll never forget it.Also when we went to the carnival on Jesi's birthday,that was the last time we were together.I miss you so much I can't stand it.I think about all the holidays and birthdays and just the days we'd spend together,how happy you've made me.I'm so proud to be your mom.You never did anything to hurt anybody,ever.Your the most gentle,loving,funny,sweetest,kindest person I ever knew.
I won't say goodbye,I know we'll be together again,then we can cry those 'happy tears'
My world is so empty now that your in heaven.It must be beautiful there,I pray that your so happy and at peace .I can't wait to be with you again.Please visit me in my dreams,I need you so much,I miss you so much.Your so precious to me,I hope you know that I love you and will cherish all our memories till we're together.God bless you my precious angel....with overflowing love forever,xoxmomxox

MY DEAR BRYCE.......Why? All I can ask is why? Bryce, I love you so much. This is the hardest thing I have ever gone through in my life and Ive had at rough one at that, of corse I dont have to tell u that, you knew me better than anyone. You were THE closest person in the wo rld to me, my big brother, my best friend, my life-world-my everything. I wish I was able to snap my fingers and make that day never happen, but its not that easy, Ill never have you back. Bryce, I dont think you knew how many people really loved you, well STILL love you. We are all destrpyed, especially me, mom, and Raquel, not to mention Joseph, Margie, Nicky, Erica, and a TON of others, I can go on and on. The night before you left us was so special to me-and at the moment I just thought it was just another day but in actuality the last precious moments spent with you. I didnt even realize til now that I was the last person who loved you that spent time with you, that breaks my heart yet makes me feel so precious-precious because you chose to spend time with me. You could have been like most brothers and fought with me and picked on me and ignored me when I was around-but it was the complete oppisite. Me and you were SO DAMN CLOSE, in actuality we were as close as 2 people can get, both had the same mother and father which meant that we shared the same blood. Through thick and thin you were there for me, and I hope you know Ive always been there for you. I was able to come to you for anything. Do you know how much I cherish you? The nite before youu passed we played rummy for an hour 1/2.....About a month b4 that u were trying to get me to play and teach me how all the time and I never wanted to, not because I didnt wanna spend time with you , but b/c Im an idiot when it comes to those things, cards being specific, and was NEVER able to learn or grasp the concept of the game. Day after day u BEGGED me to have u teach me but I kept saying no. U really must have wanted to play that game b/c U more than anyone know Im a stubborn person, but yet you got me to play-U taight me how and the first game youu let me win. God thats the kind of person u were-u just wanted me to be happy and proud b/c I kept sayin how dumb I was at that stuff but I learned b/c YOU taught me-even tho I didnt win in actuality but I thought I did, I DID win the 2nd game, and u didnt let me. I actually learned how from YOU and became damn good at it. So anyways, weeks later after playing with u all the time, The nite b4 U passed we played-and after an hour 1/2 we were completely tied and ended it there. I think we both were satisfied....we didnt even try to even out the score and make a winner-all that mattered was that we speant that time together. Ill never forget that. Afterward, we said goodnite, and I love you to eachother. I know you loved me, I just hope you knew I loved you. I believe you did, I really tried to show u and tell u I loved u as much as possible but now I feel like it wasnt enough.The next morning b4 I left 4 work was the last time I saw and spoke to u. I woke up late and was in a hurry but the short time I talked to u, you seemed so happy. What has been bothering me so much is that I honestly dont remember if I said I love you b4 I left. Everytime U and I ever left or went to bed we'd say that 2 eachother but I cant remember if I did or not that morning but I really hope I did. I just hope you knew more than anything. I wish I would have taken off work that day so this didnt happen. I dont understand why God took away the most amazing, beautiful, funny, unique, charismatic, deep, emotional, adorable,sweet, caring (and so much more...) person Ive ever met in my life. Why did he take away the most important person to me? It hurts so bad, life will NEVER be the same Bryce. Without you, whats the point? Im destroyed inside. In every way. Anyways, I really hope that your happy and safe, if its really like they say it is in Heaven Im sure youll be happy, I know thats where youll be. I hope you were happy to see Sweetie not too long after u arrived there, she really missed you and Im sure your taking good care of her like u always did. Its hard to imagine that our with Dad right now-the two most important men in my life gone forever, but only in this life. I hope and pray that you and him will be waiting for me when I come to join you. Im scared, so scared but knowing you both are there puts me at ease. Well I really can go on and on forever talking to and about you but I have to stop sometime, I wish I didnt even have to write this, this is so unreal. I just hope you knew in your heart how much I loved you and still love you. I always thought if I ever got marred (ha! who wud marry me?! By the way Im so glad u met Scott and knew Mike)but I thought Id be able to have Dad walk me down the aisle, then after he passed I asked you-not that u were 2nd best, the fathers always the 1 to do that but since he couldnt I wanted the closest person to me to do it and of course it was you. Now I have no one but Im asking you if that day ever comes to please watch over me and ask Dad to for me as well? It would mean so much to me. If that day ever comes that is! If it does Im gonna be the one to carry on the name so my husbands gonna have to change his name!! Really though, im not changing mine ever, I wanna forever be linked to U and Dad. This hurts so much. Anyways Bryce, if youve been listening I hope u know that everything Ive said is from the bottom of my heart. I love you so much. A piece of my heart will forevr be with you. Theres an empty void in my life that will never be filled, not until we meet again-that precious day. I miss you so much Bryce, your my angel. Love always and forever your baby sister, Jesi xoxo I LOVE YOU!

Bryce,
Im still in total shock and denial that ur gone. Ur my godbrother/2nd brother and i love u soooo much. u, jesi, me and charlie all have always had such a strong bond like all 4 of us were really siblings, its so hard to believe that 1 of? us is gone. I always thought it was cool that all of us were 4yrs apart from each other, we were like a line lol. You were such a great person and an amazing artist, and ur the only person who ever has or ever will get me on a rollercoaster again, i dont know how u did it but u got me n jesi on every single rollercoaster in the park that day. ur also the one who really sparked my interest in music, and it all started with Led Zeppelin, i will think of u every time i hear them for the rest of my life. Its so unfair that you were taken away so young, my heart is completely crushed i miss you so much Bryce, I don't even know what to say. . .

I love you,
Ginger
(your godsister)

Bryce my dear godchild, I remember the day you were born, when your mom n dad brought you home from the hospital, we were all? so happy. It was like Charlie had a little brother. You were such a funny baby always into everything n scared of nothing. My favorite memory of you as a baby is when we put the top on your crib to keep you from getting out and the next morning you were sleeping on it like a hamock. As I watched you grow so did our families, I had Ginger n you guys had Jesi. I remember Ginger use to always call you her godbrother. As you no ur mom is like my sister to me n ur dad is like my brother. I love you like my own son. My heart is broken n i will miss you. I love you Bryce.

Love,
Chrissie

Bryce,
My life had flipped upside down when we started talking again its was unbelievable. Koolaid smiles all the way, even made my cheeks hurt. I always waited for the day we would meet again. It was coming up. You have been in my heart for ever as long as I can remember. I feel that you were my soul mate things where just to perfect. I didn't have anything going except you. You brought my life back to me it was wonderful. The jokes the singing,the internet the silly and serious questions. We were getting to know each other all over again, we talked like we knew each other and never lost touch. This feeling for you will never ever go away, this was our moment to love each other. I will take it with me until we meet again. We will cry those happy tears. I love you always

Bryce, There never seems enough time to be able to get to know someone. You touched many lives in your short time here and there is a HUGE emptiness left behind with you gone. I'm thankful for the memories that I do have and will treasure them for always. I love you mom and family so much and will do anything I can to look after them and make sure that they know that I'm here if they need me. Rest now and leave the troubles of this world behind you...and know that you will live on in everyone of us whose life you touched with your kindness, humor, and love.

Trish..my beautiful amiga words cannot express how I feel for you rite now my heart is broken for you and your family...even tho we are miles apart..I just want to let you know that I am here for you always..if you need to talk or just simply let it out and cry do so...call me anytime..I know how much your son meant to you..I could see the Love you two had for each other on your videos...It is okay to cry..Jesus wept for Lazarus at the tomb...There is a time and a season for all things...Eccles 3;1-8 Know that it is normal to grieve sometimes people try to stop us from crying n we hold on to it and get sick...I did..when I lost my husband and now Its been 14 months for me and I still cry and let it out at times and feel better after I do..I will be praying for you and your family. I can just imagine Bryce walking thru the pearly gates and our Heavenly Father waiting for him with open arms..and just as Bryce steps in he is already making everyone laugh and telling everyone what a precious mother and family he had here on earth and thanking God for every moment spend with all of you..take care my amiga and be strong in the days to come..I pray our heavenly father wrap his LOVING arms around each of you and give you PEACE and turn yor grieving into Joy..always your friend..Lola La Muneca

Bryce,

For the short time that I have known you, I relly enjoyed the time we had. Talking on the phone and laughing....getting into serious conversations...and just being real with one another. I really enjoyed your videos and still find myself watching them. You were a really funny guy and a natural for the camera. I will miss your sense of humor....will miss you tremondously.

Bryce,
I'm going to miss you very much and I'm sorry there wasn't anything I could do to stop it. You had no enemies, only friends and family that loved you very much. I hope wherever you are, your still making everyone around you happy. You made me smile everytime I walked into the room, that was just one of your many gifts.
Please watch over your family and tell your father I said hi. I know you two are together now and I'm sure we'll meet again someday.
I love you Bryce, and I'm oh so sorry this had to happen.
Your friend in mourning,
Mike

My life will not be the same without Bryce. Everything that he did he mastered,especially his artwork and cars. He also had such a compassionate side to him. Even though he was my little brother,he has taught me alot. I will forever cherish the memories of him and miss him terribly.
