FOR KYLE AND KASSI FROM MOM
What can I tell you about my son, Kassi's little brother.
Of course most of you already know Kyle was like no other.
Its hard to believe for most that his heart was bigger than his mens size 15 feet.
I have no idea how my two kids became so good, funny and so sweet.
How I regret every minute not spent with him.
Making him smile and seeing his stupid little grin.
God I hope he knows how I love him and was working to make things right.
My promise to Kassi is that no matter what I wont give up, I will still fight.
I dont think Ive seen a brother and sister so close,
they had no choice they have been through a lot, more than most.
Not having the most perfect parents, but they still had each other.
What is Kassi going to do, she is so lost without her little brother.
Everyone says that it takes time to heal,
but not for her or me, they just cant imagine how we feel.
Kyle is gone forever, he was everything to us.
How does that heal, it doesnt.
So we wake up everyday and do what we should,
and I heard sooner or later we just learn to deal.
Check in on us from time to time
I am asking you as a friend to make sure we are fine.
There are so many people out there we want to thank
I just hope these are favors we never have to repay, that your loved ones are good and God doesnt chose to take.
We love you guys, and thank you again, Im so glad to call you a friend of mine.

RIP Kyle. I can't say I knew you either, but another brother duner lost is sad.

Angel, Mike, Kassi... my thoughts and prayers are with you all today.
Fellow duners, as you're ripping into your presents today... or ripping up a dune at Mother G... take a moment to remember those we've lost this year. And perhaps offer a prayer that in the coming year, we won't have to add any more names to this thread.
RIP Kyle... one year ago Christmas Day.
Merry Christmas everyone, and have a safe and happy New Year.

I found my way into this forum tonight for some reason. I dont go five minutes without thinking of him but I havent came in here for awhile because it just hurts so much.
I ache for my baby boy so much. I really just wanted to say how much it means to me that you all leaves messages and remember. Thank You so much, it may seem like a small thing to do but his Dad and I appreciate it so so much.

There is no love greater love than a parents love for their children, there's nothing worse than losing one. I have God to thank for my children, their good health, and the love they have for my wife and I. Over the past few years I have seen the memorial in the dune grass and brush, and every time I stop and say a prayer. I wonder if Kyle knows how many lives he's really touched, hopefully some of those people will be more alert and aware of their surroundings in the dunes, to be more watchful of quad and bike riders. I can only hope it never happens to one of my children. May Kyle's family find peace and comfort, and may Kyle watch over them always.

Oh thanks guys, I didnt think anyone would see what I wrote for a very long time.
Thank You for stopping and saying a prayer. We have had people tell us that before and always appreciate it. More important is that fact that death never seemed close to our family in the dunes, it was just something horrible that you heard happened out there.
Then WHAM it happen to us. So please everyone who stops at the site tell your children what I just said. It wasnt his skills that got him killed, it was someone in a rail not paying attention. And again more important have your family take my CPR class so maybe you can help save someone you love.

sweetie pie. You are such a strong woman!
I have no babies of my own - but the thought of losing my nephew is so terrible I can not dwell on it for long because I just feel like losing it. I can not begin to imagine the hurt of losing a child. I have enormous respect for you and your family for continuing to dune/ride, and being such an advocate for CPR classes.

Thought I would post this here first. I just got news tonight of money I'm getting that I was not expecting and its enough for me to get my own CPR mannikin's. I am so fortunate to be able to provide a much needed lesson to the duning community and it overwhelms me to no end to think that maybe some day my training will save a life and moreover save another parent from going thru the same pain that Kyles Dad(s) (Step Dad included) and me and his Sister have all gone thru.
When people ask me how long ago I lost him I say yesterday.... in my heart the wound will always be that fresh. I hope this season is a safe one.

It really brought me to my knees this year. At times I would be driving and just stop, on some residential street or something just stop. Like I had nothing left in me and just sit and daze until a car would come up and I would shake it off and go. Weird but I am still in it kind of.
Not sure why Im even writing this, maybe talking to Kyle to a bit. I went to decorate the tree on Christmas Day and four boys were playing at the high school on their BMX bikes so they came and helped me put candy canes on Kyles tree. It was so great of them. Then I went to go see the movie Rabbit Hole with Nicole Kidman about losing a child. I know I know but I was drawn to the movie for a reason. It was about how to live with finding no answers. What if or Why him. So I got my crying out and time to again wake up everyday and breath in and breath out and hope that the 6yr anniversary is easier on me than the 5th.
Just thought I would post the pics of his tree. I hope everyone here always takes the time out to say how you feel to your loved ones and know that your life can change on a dime. I will never ever be the same person I was before something has died in me and I can't get that back. You still have the opportunity to let those around you know you love them, that is a huge Christmas Gift don't take it for granted.
