A Love Song / Mom With Love The mention of my child's name May bring tears to my eyes, But it never fails to bring Music to my ears. If you are really my friend, Please don't keep me From hearing the beautiful music. It soothes my broken heart And fills my soul with love.

Such a precious young man, gone too soon ! / Mylene Roberge (mommy to angel Sean ) I am so sorry for the loss of your precious son, Clint. He is such a handsome young man. I love his smile, I'm sure his smile is lighting up the whole Universe. I also lost a son, Sean, who is forever 8 months young. Our lives have forever changed as yours. I found his site on the Rainbow site. I also believe in rainbows and butterflies. We have a rainbow baby, who's name is Scott. He is the rainbow amoungnst our storm of tears for Sean and our sunlight of love for both Sean and Scott. I'm sure our angels have met, and maybe Clint is teaching Sean how to fish, I'm sure he would have loved that. Sending you all huge hugs of comfort.

For Debra... / Angela Dallas's Mom Look at our beautiful boys. Our beautiful sons. I never thought I would lose something as precious as this.
I wanted to stop by, to read about Clint Tyler. To say his name. And write it. And to tell you thank you, for writing my son's name.
You are right I believe. It is the gentle souls who seem to feel to much, dream too much, love too much. The gentle souls with the most to lose. He is a beautiful boy. So handsome. You can see him in his eyes. It says so much.
Our sons connect us as well. Children connecting parents who otherwise would have remained strangers. This is a gift they leave behind, I think. Knowing the deep profound loss they leave behind...they have gathered around us, kindred spirits in suffering. To perhaps ease in some ways the pain, with companionship and knowledge.
Your son will be remembered. I thank you, for remembering mine.

It couldn't be any harder ...by The Calling / Scarlett Powell (Friend of Mother ) Debra,
I am thinking of you today and praying for your pain to be lifted. You carry Clint's life and love in your heart and mind and will stay with you for all of time. I hope you feel his presence watching and guiding you through the darkest of your days.
Here is a lyrics to a special song:
It couldn't be any harder ...by The Calling
You left me with goodbye and open arms A cut so deep I don't deserve You were always invincible in my eyes the only thing against us now is time
[Chorus:] Could it be any harder to say goodbye and without you, Could it be any harder to watch you go, to face what's true If I only had one more day
I lie down and blind myself with laughter A quick fix of hope is what I'm needing And now i wish that i could turn back the hours But i know i just don't have the power
[Chorus] I'd jump at the chance We'd drink and we'd dance And I'd listen close to your every word, As if its your last, I know its your last, Cause today, oh, you're gone
[Chorus]
Like sand on my feet The smell of sweet perfume You stick to me forever,baby and I wish you didn't go, I wish you didn't go I wish you didn't go away To touch you again, With life in your hands It couldn't be any harder
Remembering you and Clint / Yolanda Rogers Dropping by to let you know that I carry you in my heart and prayers as Clint's Homegoing anniversary approaches. I am grateful that although He doesn't necessarily explain our suffering and grief to our satisfaction, God shares our suffering through our Lord Jesus. Our Lord prayed that "those which thou hast given me" be with Him where He was. Praise God that by His grace and mercy that is where our beloved children await.
In His Love, Yolanda Rogers http://www.galatians5.com
Just thinking / Catherine (Co-Worker) I was thinking of you this morning on the way to work. Realizing that Monday will be two years and wondering where the time has gone. While I was driving along all of the sudden "Runaway Train" started playing on the radio. Now that song is hardly played on the station that I listen to, so I have to wonder if you weren't just sending a quick little hello.
I miss you being in the office, just hanging out and listening to me babble while I worked. You were such a great listener. You really helped me a lot just by listening when my grandmother was sick and in the nursing home.
I wish more than anything that you were still here. Your mom & dad somehow make it through the day, each day, but I see how hard it is on your dad and imagine it is at least that hard for your mom. They miss you so much. I miss you too.
Much love and wishing you were here.
I am so Sorry for your loss / Lisa Jenkins (Another Angels Mom ) I am so sorry for you loss, your son was brave and left you with many good memories. I. too. know those little triggers that just walk up and slap you in the face out of the blue and it sure does happen a lot does't it? That is kind of what your son probably was dealing with in life, just my guess as I try to understand my daughter with bipolar. Your son will aways be with you I pray that you will always know that. I try to tell myself that also every day... I don't understand how God can let our children go before us. It just is not the way it is to be we are to go before why did our families have to be different?
Bipolar is a very hard thing to deal with. I, too, have a daughter who has bipolar she has many ups and downs. Many days filled with laughter and happiness and then sadness and out right pain. I know what you and your son went through for I go through it every day with my daughter. I try so hard to be there for her along with her doctors and therapist. I pray to God all the time to help her know what she is doing and to keep her safe. I lost one daughter to cancer I don't want to lose another to any thing. I pray for God to be with you always and your son. God Bless You All! Lisa Jenkins
my condolences / Connie Aunt 2. Angel Sammy Pepe To Angel Clints family - I read his legacy and I have to say he reminded me alot of my nephew Sammy. My nephew was 19 years when he chose to end his own life. Unfortunately my nephew did not reach out for any help and we often wondered if he suffered in silence. His death came as a hugh shock to all of us. I am in no way implying that your beautiful son intentionally did this to himself but I do understand the self-medication to try to make yourself better. You see my brother also took his life in 1979 at the age of 22 - and at the time he was self-medicating himself as each day was a stuggle for him to go on. Unfortunately in the 70's nobody mentioned mental illness. Regardless of how any of these beautiful angels died the grief is unbearable. I know because I see the pain in my sisters eyes everyday. Thankyou for sharing your story on this website.
May god give you all the strength to carry on each day.
god bless
connie - sammy's aunt

such a loss / Liz Hayes Mum Of Raymond (angel friend ) As a mother who has lost a child I know the pain you are feeling. The circumstances were different but he is still gone. My son was murdered last Sept and his trial starts Mon 2nd July so hopefully we can get some closure-some peace. But no matter how the bereavement happens as a parent the loss is so severe and you cant see any way forward. My daughter found the library of life and it has helped me immensely and I have made so many new friends through it. People who are going through the same thing I am and still have the time to talk to me. Always remember the time we have on this earth is short so it wont be long until we see our babies again and never have to say goodbye again. My love and thoughts are with you and your family xx
I was just looking at the old pictures from porter that were put on here. I just have to say, man, I miss you so much Clint. We had such a blast back then. I remember going to Disney on our 8th grade trip. We were so crazy about each other back then. I had so much fun with you. I also remember 8th grade graduation, you brought me a dozen roses and a card. I still have the card! ;) I was so upset that you weren't going Heritage to start off highschool, you know, it really was hard on me, you were my world back then, but when I found out you were coming to Heritage, I was so EXCITED!!!! Anyway, I was just thinking of you, and all those times we shared, I miss you so much. <3 you forever and ever babe!!!!
Note to Kendra / Debra, Clint's Mom Kendra, I am so sorry you are having such a difficult time. Your love is a testament to a deep and wonderful friendship. The death of a young person is very difficult and confusing for everyone. Things just don't seem right after something like this.
It is always nice to hear from Clint's friends. We miss his laughter, hugs and energy. It is comforting to share the wonderful memories of all his school friends.
Hugs, Debra
I miss you! / Kendra Adams Murrell (very very good friend ) I miss you so so so much! I think about you often! You mean so much to me! I remember.. all our good times and the bad! I will never forget when you got in that car wreak on your way home from school i was right behind you..that day was so scary...i remember saying we have to call your mom, i was crying...and i wasn't even in the wreak. We sat beside the road...with your arm around me trying to get me to calm down...or when we got our pictures made.....how funny..remember they said that we looked like brother and sister, I'll never for get what you said.....WE ARE!! You were one of my bestfriends ever! I found the Valentine's Card you got me the other day while I was cleaning out my closet.....K 'n' K.... I have no clue where we came up w/ that! I found so so so many pictures of us! Remember when we went to Hybachi Factory.. Oh you loved that place..You were so much fun!!! I'll never forget the day I found out that you passed! 13 days later!!! No one would tell me! didn't know how i would take it i guess... finally someone did...I was driving down chapman hwy..just about to pass your house! I had to pull over I set there and cried for 45 minutes.. and that was it..i never got to say goodbye..still haven't i guess that is why i still greive with you gone..it is had for me!! I love you Clint...always will!!!
I miss you so much! / Samantha Palmer Rex (close friend )
First off I want to say that I am so sad that you are gone, and I am even more sad that I didn't get to say goodbye. Clint, you know that you meant the world to me, and it is hard to think that I will only see you again in Heaven. I find myself coming to your website almost daily, to look at the pictures or to just read the candles that have been lit in your memory. I know we didn't spend much time together the last little bit of highschool, but I know you understood that because of everything. Clint, I am sorry that you are gone and I didn't get to say goodbye, I love you and I will see you when I get there!!
Thinking of Clint / Logan Bock (classmate) I didn't really know Clint that well until he started dating one of my best friends Krista. I learned that even though we weren't close we had alot in common. We share the same birthday, our 1st cars were the same make, model, and yr, but different colors, and our 2nd cars were the same as well, but different colors. I don't know how that happened. Even though I wasn't that close to him, I was to Krista and the love she had for him was special. We would sometimes go on double dates together. Clint will always have a place in my heart because he was all around a pretty awesome guy.
Full of love and Valentine's Day memories / Mom And Dad Thinking of you a lot today. We cannot make it through this time of the year without remembering all the past Valentine Days. All the times when you were young and we addressed cards for classmates. When you returned home in the afternoon, we enjoyed reading all the ones you had received. You kept those cards for a long time and in fact we still have some of them. As you grew, we remember all the trips we made to the store to purchase candy, cards, flowers and stuffed animals for your girl friends. We also remember the times in middle school when "Love Grams" could be sent to friends and the large number you received. Oh, what we would give to hear you say "I love you" one more time.
Eternal Hugs and Kisses, Mom and Dad

A beautiful website and a handsome young man. / Susan Adams Ellis (Old friend of Clint's father ) Debra and Alan,
I ran across this, as well as Clint's obituary, while writing the obituary for my 90 year old father today. I believe that Alan and I were friends during high school, however, Debra, I didn't know you. From a mother's standpoint, I cannot imagine the loss of one so young and vital. Please know that our prayers and thoughts are with you during this anniversary remembrance of your son. The times together will never return, but the memories will live on in your hearts forever. May God bless each of you.
Susan Adams Ellis Germantown, Tennessee
