Guest Book

"You made such an impact on myself, Jaydon Zane and the person you so loved irritating “Eliza Marie” on us, you were such an easy child that was happy and content no matter what as long as you had a PSP and a pair of good clean kicks. You have been on my mind today and I miss you so very much. Thank you for always being so understanding and loving like you were. Was and still to this day I am so very proud of for living and enjoying being a child the way you did while still on this earth. Keep watching over us slugger. Your missed everyday but never will you be forgotten.

"I have no words adequate enough. ???? My heart breaks for the entire family, especially Toshia & Scott. Braiden was an awesome kid, a very sweet little boy. It always made me smile when he used to come to my & Eric's house to drink "blue dews" (blue raspberry Mountain Dew). I can only hope & pray that God can somehow comfort each of you through truly sad & tragic time. Keeping you all in my thoughts & prayers. ?
