You and Braden are forever missed :(  / Diante Wayne ((Friend of Braden Erickson) )

Hey kyle,

       It seems to me that you and Braden have been gone forever now. Everybody misses you, Kyle. But I miss my buddy, Braden too. He was a good guy like you. He will always try to make me laugh. I wish I could hear that laugh. I've been emailing your sister, Meggie the other day. She email me back. I was glad to hear from her. She misses you terribly. She wants you to know that she loves you. As long as you and Braden stay in heaven, I'm sure I will meet you. We love you and Braden very much. We'll keep dreaming of you tonight.

Thinking of you and your loving family  / Diante Wayne ((Braden Erickson's friend) )

Hello,

     My name is Diante.  I saw your son's photo album. It is so   beautiful. What a happy boy you have there! It's hard to lose a child. When I saw kyle's pictures, he has a beautiful smile on his face. He's so cute and handsome!! You were right. His smile will melt your heart. Well, I'm one of Braden's friends in Arizona. He passed away on May 20, 2005 playing a choking game. I miss him and I love him. He was sweet, funny, and amazing person that I ever known. I knew him two years before he died. His life and his memories had touched everyone. I've been thinking about him day and night. I just want to see him again. I  hope I can see your son too. Keep Kyle close to your hearts, he will always be around watching all of you. I think your son is cool person and a great kid. I will remember your son as my friend. Braden and Kyle will be on my side. I'm sorry for your loss. These boys won't be forgotten. We'll see them in paradise. I can't wait to meet Kyle. I hope you feel better.

Letter from Heaven  / To Kyle Family
'Letter From Heaven'

I am writing this from heaven,
here I dwell with God above.
Here there are no tears or sadness,
here it's just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy
because I am out of sight.
Remember that I am with you
every morning, noon, and night.

That day I had to leave you,
when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me,
and said, 'I welcome you.

'It's good to have you back again.
You were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family,
they'll be here later on.

God gave me a list of things
that He wished me to do,
and foremost on that list
was to watch and take care of you.

I will be beside you every day,
and week and year.
And when you're sad, I am standing there
to wipe away the tears.

When you lie in bed at night,
the day's chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you
in the middle of the night.

Do not be afraid to cry,
for it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers,
unless there was some rain.

One thing is for certain,
though my life on earth is o'er,
I am closer to you now
than ever before.

When you're walking down the street
and you've got me on your mind,
I'm walking in your footsteps
only a half step behind.

When you feel that gentle breeze
upon your face,
that's me giving you a great big hug
or just a soft embrace.

When it's time for you to go
from that body to be free,
remember you're not going,
you're coming here to me.

And I will always love you
from that land way up above.

We'll be in touch again soon.

PS God sends his love

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ANGEL KYLE MOM  / LEO MCPHEE MOM

"The Busiest Day In Heaven"

It's the busiest day in Heaven
I'm planning a big surprise
To let you know I love you
And that no one ever dies

Even though your down below
And I am up above
I'm sending you my wishes
And all my angel love

It's really quite exciting
To plan this big event
For lots of gifts will come your way
And all are Heaven sent

First I'll take a bubble bath-
My splashes might cause some rain
But knowing all the fun I'm having
Will help to ease your pain

Next I'll get some pictures
In my halo and gown
So when you get to Heaven
You can show me all around

I have color crayons in Heaven
And I will draw some stars so bright
And place them in the sky today
For you to see tonight

Then Jesus will have story time
And I will sit upon his lap
He'll tell me all about you
Just before I nap

I'll awake full of energy
And play a game or two
Before I finish sending
All my love to you

After snack I'll write a song
For all the birds to sing
And know I've made you happy
With all the joy it brings

At night time I'll be tired
But I'll still hold you tight
My arms will wrap around you
And keep you through the night

And when you finally slumber
I will kneel and pray
Asking God to bless you
On this special Mothers Day

Love,
Your Little Angel

Christmas without you.  / Sue McCarthy (Mom)
Dear Kyle-
Christmas without you was even harder this year for some reason. Christmas Eve was especially hard on Mom. Early Christmas Eve morning I woke up at 4:00-Just couldn't sleep and put on one of our home Christmas video's just to see you and hear your beautiful voice again. Just seeing you and hearing you again made it so hard to believe that you are really gone.It's  terribly hard to believe that. Maybe that's what is keeping me going-thinking this is all a dream and that I'll see you again someday.(deep down I know it's me knowing I'll WILL see you again but will be up in Heaven)  Anyway, I cried so hard, especially when the part came on of you and your religion class singing "Angels Amoung Us" by Alabama. You were about 10 yrs. old and you were dressed as a little shephard boy. To hear that song and to see your beautiful face, just broke my heart. Then at Grandma Liz's house on X-mas Eve, feeling so sad, I went upstairs just to look at your picture's on her frig, and "Angels Amoung Us" was playing on the radio!! (Thank you Kyle and God) for sending me that Beautiful message, as sad as it was. Dad, Meg and Don  are having an especially hard time too.
We only wish to have you back Kyle-but as I've said, You were just "too BEAUTIFUL" for this world, but that doesn't make the missing you any easier for we all love you with all our hearts and our family just isn't the same anymore. Having that extra excitement on Christmas morning and at the Grandma's  Christmas' was totally missing without you.
Anyway, knowing you're happy and up in Heaven with God and Jesus, Grandpa's, Uncle Jim and Craig, all comes before our sadness for you mean the world to us.
ALWAYS feel all the love that our hearts are feeling for you. Someday-we will all be together as a family again in Heaven, then it will be forever! and nothing can ever take that away from us-
Love you Kyle!

1st year without you  / Mom
Hi Sweetheart-
I am so frozen in time and feels just like yesterday that we started this nightmare. Going through each day brings back the harsh sadness of loosing you. My mind keeps telling me what happened but I just can't quite eccept that you're gone. Your shoes, jacket and hats are still in the laundry room like you should be coming home anytime now. While I was out by you yesterday, I prayed to God with all my heart that he could take us back a year, that we're just dreaming, and we could have changed everything. Still seems like we're in a dream. Maybe when we wake up, we'll be in Heaven with you which I know will be some day. What an honor that both Appleton East and James Madison had a moment of silence for you today. I wish I could have been there to share that touching moment though it must have been very sad.  Much of the football team had your initials in their helmets tonight too.You've impacted so many people and have touched their lives with you leaving us. What an honor. I am so proud of you and what a beautiful boy you were here on earth. You were truly an Angel on earth and now you're our Angel in Heaven. I know you were just too beautiful to be in this world. Somehow, I know God knew what he was doing. I can't believe what awesome friends you have and see how much they miss you. I'm so glad I was able to share you with the world, but was too short of a time.
Well, you sleep tight up there and be with you're friends and family.
Love you with all my heart sweetie-
Feel all my hugs and kisses.

Kyle, we love you  / Kim Willems (Friend (art buddie) )
Kyle--
I miss you sooooooo much.

Today in school, there was a moment of silence and it seemed as though you were talking to each and every one of us, saying that you were ok where you were.

Ocotber 10 2005, whoaa, it seems like soooooo long ago. I remember when Mrs. Rufe came in and told us that u had left this wonderful world of ours. No one knew how to react and there were rumors. Lots of rumors. I just missed you so much that I didn't to listen to the rumors. I knew they weren't true anyway. I just didn't really know how to respond to everything and everyone. On Wednesday night, I missed religion to come see my art buddie one last time. I wanted to meet your wonderful family. I cried so much that night. 

I still cry every once in awhile because I miss you and my gramma so much. I miss my art buddie!!!!

I would do anything to have you back in this world. I miss you and I loveee you forever and ever.

No one can ever replace my art buddie...

I love you very much.

Love always and forever,
Kim Close

Kyle-

It has been almost a whole year since October 10th, the day we found out our beloved classmate had passed away.

I think you have the GREATEST family Kyle, your mom is just the sweetest thing ever. I wish this didn't happen. Your family is just so great. 

I really wish I could attend your memory bowl, but ALL my thoughts and prayers will be with you forever and ever. My dad and brother will probably be bowling with everyone there.

I love you so much Kyle and I miss you a lot.

Love Always and Forever,
Kim
