Condolence from Debbie Huey on May 12th, 2014 6:11 pm

Sweet Kyle, it was an honor to have been asked to pray for you. I suppose prayers were answered as I prayed that you would not have to suffer and that you would know the love of so many people and the love of our Lord in your young heart. God needed one special, darling little angel when He brought you Home sweet baby. Now may your family feel your love and the love only the Lord can give them at this time. I pray He wraps His loving arms around each of you and in that feeling you see and feel the love of your own little guardian angel. Smile, sweet Kyle, forever in so many hearts.

Condolence from Kenny and Angelica Holland on May 12th, 2014 6:19 pm

Condolence from dcromley1@verizon.net on May 12th, 2014 6:29 pm

I am so very sorry for your loss. I know of sweet Kyle from his dear grandmother, Karen. She is a F/B friend of mine. There are no words to express the sorrow that I feel for your family, and the loss, and grief. At least now, his suffering is over, and he is in the LOVING , STRONG arms of a LOVING GOD. I pray that after the initial grieving, that your family will find some peace, and Joy again. I’m so very sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine the sorrow that your feeling, and my prayer is that your family cling onto Christ, and let HIM carry you through this. Our thoughts, and ways, are not HIS thoughts, and ways, and HIS thoughts, and ways are not the same as ours. Just rest in the joy, that one great day, you will be reunited with dear, sweet Kyle. My heart is breaking, and I feel sorrow for your whole family, with you. Once again, I’m so very sorry for your loss. God Bless you, your whole precious family.

Condolence from The Wade Family on May 13th, 2014 9:20 am

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and will be with you in the days to come. Hope you can take comfort
in the fact, God had a special plan for Kyle and he shared him with all of you knowing he would get the foundation
he needed for that plan.

Condolence from Pam Archer on May 13th, 2014 9:30 am

My daughter is a teacher at Connally. I hope the following will give you at least a glimmer of comfort and peace.

By JOY for the Journey
Life can be uncertain. It can throw us into a whirlwind filled with doubt, disbelief, and fear. We wrestle with asking God, “Why?” and we struggle to keep it together. We know in our heart God has a plan, but we don’t understand it. How could we? It doesn’t make any sense. We wonder how He could work this situation out for the good. There are days when we wince and wonder. Days when we suffer. We weep through the night.Then we realize God doesn’t always make sense—he makes miracles. In place of anxiety, he gives us peace. In place of worry, he gives us hope. In place of fear, we become fearless. A surrendered life is not a perfect life. Surrender whatever is pulling you under. Surrender the illness, the marriage, the children, the job. Give them to Jesus so he can heal the hurts and repair what is broken. One thing is for certain—in uncertain days, He will never leave you. Don’t mistake the middle of the chapter as the end of the story!

Deuteronomy 31:8 “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”

Condolence from Courtney Coker on May 13th, 2014 10:37 am

Precious Kyle,

It’s hard to believe you’re gone. We had complete faith that we would see you laugh and play again with the rest of your “Coker Gang”, and just as God said you will be healed, you have been restored in Heaven and we will be together again another day. Although your absence leaves an emptiness amongst us, we rejoice in knowing you are with Jesus now.

We love you always,

Uncle Jeremy, Aunt Courtney, Josh, Hannah and John

Condolence from Gina Pasisis on May 13th, 2014 11:13 am

Dear Jon and Krystal,

I had the privilege of meeting Kyle one time, and I will never forget his sweet smile. When he looked at me, I felt his kindness, which completely filled my spirit. He is one of those rare people who sparkles. Heaven is surely brighter now.

The strength the two of you have shown can only come from one source: God. Because of you, my faith has grown, and I am changed forever.

May you be comforted by a flood of God’s love.
Gina
