Jonathan, Nick, Will, and John,
I am moved by the
eulogies to Tyler. I never knew him, but you guys honored him and all
of humanity well with your statements at his life celebration, support
of his short life, and understanding that all people have wonderful
qualities if we just look. I feel blessed to know you and have you in my community, even if it's a world away in Seattle (or wherever you are now Nick). Not sure of your belief in God, but since I
do, I really value how you seem to put what God would want in your
interactions with this young man. He was surely a handsome fellow, and I
am saddened to know his energy and inspiration was cut short. God
bless his family and you guys for being there for him. You've done
wonderful things with bikes in this community, and much more with
building relationships that benefit all of humanity. Great work, gentleman. I'm moved.
