I love you brother, people always say I look like you.. well I guess you can say I’m your long lost sister from another mother, same father different mother.. You helped me through some tough times, but now I ask myself why was I ever around you more, life’s tough though I know it hurts me knowing my own brother cut his life short.. I knew he had problems but not to the point where he would end his own life.. I love you Tyson

Cindy Stanton says
Lonnie, Shawnta & families,
My heart breaks for you. Tyson was a sweet heart. I met him when he was in junior high or so. Such a well mannered sweet boy when he came into my work. We had some really great visits both in person and via Facebook years later. He was older than his years in many ways and his personality was larger than life. Please know you’re in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless you with comfort and peace.
Tyson~ I know you have peace now. You are and will always be missed. Thank you for the chance to get to know you. Thank you for your service to our country.
Carrie Braine says
