All of Ty's siblings in attendance.
Me. James is so silly. I just have to smile at him.

April 30, 2009 marked the end of my cousin Tyler's drug addiction battle. He suffered a drug overdose 3 months ago, and struggled through a rough period of ups and downs. He wasn't able to overcome the last down. He died in the morning last Thursday. I am so overwhelmed at the loss of my beautiful cousin. He was so young and had everything in front of him.
My ache is made more from the thought of his parents and siblings. I cannot imagine what this is like for them when it is so hard for me. I am so thankful for the wonderful times we have shared the past three months, and hope that the closeness we are all feeling now will only become stronger. All my love to the Gearharts and Tehra, whose heart will forever be Tyler's.
Thank you for these great pictures. It brings tears to my eyes to think of this tender day. How long will our hearts ache? Though I know we will see him again, it is still so hard in the interim.
