In Loving Memory

With the Olympics coming to an end it was exciting and heart wrenching all at the same time. On Sunday morning, James and I made plans to watch the very exciting Canada vs. USA hockey game, but our day was cut short by a phone call on the way to church. A friend of his called him and said that a friend of theirs had been in a bad accident the night before and he was killed.


Tyler Dacquay.

He was such a kind hearted guy and his life was cut much too short. He always had a smile on his face and knew how to make other people laugh. I will never forget sitting on my front lawn with Tyler, James and my parents, drinking iced tea and eating cookies after an afternoon of riding in the sand pits.
Even though I only spent a few days with him and didn't know him well, it has broken my heart. I experienced one of the hardest things to watch; James and all his friends mourn the loss of their great friend. I will never forget seeing James and his friends embracing each other. They have spent lots of time together in the past few days, which is good, and are continuing to do so throughout the week.

Please keep Tyler's family and friends in your thoughts and prayers.
