This past Saturday (5/15/21) I participated in the 14th annual Mountain Man Memorial March sponsored by the University of Tennessee ROTC cadets and had the distinct honor and privilege to  represent Sr Airman Powers while doing so. The event honors fallen soldiers and Gold Star families. I sincerely appreciate his service to our nation and respectfully pass along my condolences to his family. God Bless...

Hi Bryce.
This is to you wish you a Happy Easter .I have the comfort that you are fully healed and watching over us,

Bryce,
Yesterday there was a walk and you had a group that walked in your honor by the name of "Team Bryce."  Mom and your Aunt were there and they looked like they had a good time.  Just know that you are in our thoughts at all times and that although you are truly missed, you are better off then us because you are with our Lord in Heaven.

Hi Bryce .
Thanks for you being at church with me tonight , it was the first sung evensong I have been to. It has been a strange day , I bet you have been laughing at me. My strength has return for the first time Mum has passed I was at peace .
Thanks Bryce

I think of you and your family.  I pray for your family often.  I know our precious Father God in heaven helps them each day.  That is my prayer for them.

Hi Bryce.
I still miss you and seeing your prayer page on facebook. You know your Celtic Cross you had Tattooed on you arm ,I know you can see that I had on done in your honour.So every day I do not forget you.
I planned to come over from England to Washington for a long weekend to visit you. I told your mum and we both booked into the same hotel and we were going to meet up .But my mother took ill and she went into a nursing home, and my father was very worried that something might happen to her while I was there , so I had to cancel my trip. I am sorry but I tried to tell her. I felt very bad about that.
I hope you forgive me , but let's not be sad. I hope you enjoyed those flowers that I wanted to place myself, I bet you noticed someone placing the flowers and taking a picture.
They were kind enough to send me the picture.
I missing talking to your mum on facebook ,one day she was there and the next day no sign of her, I keep hoping I would be able to be friend's with her one day.
Bryce can you do me a favour can you see if you can find my mother and tell her that I will love her forever.
She passed on March 20th 2014 Her Name is Elizabeth Rose Woolgar .I know like you she is fully healed.
Bryce my friend, I will never forget you.

Thought of you today Bryce. Came to the house on Grandfather Mountain. We are having snow today. Will Spring ever come?! You  will be in my thoughts and in my prayers always.... May your peace be your families peace now.

Bryce,  I have been thinking a lot lately about mom, dad, and Madi and how much they miss you.  I pray for them daily to give them the strength to carry on with life.  It is so hard when a parent grieves over the loss of one of their children.  You are missed and loved by many people and we all pray for your family daily.  Just watch over and protect mom, dad, and Madi.

Tonight I am thinking out you and your family, Bryce. I know you shine down upon them and I pray that time is easing their pain and replacing it with sweet memories. Cathy, you and your family are still in  my prayers daily. We will visit Bryce in May when we pass through Washington.

Oh my sweet Bryce... son, I miss you so much, and love you more than life!!!!  Love, Momma

SWEET YOUNG SOLDIER

Our hearts are aching
and tears are shaking,
with sobs that come
so uncontrolled.

But arms are wrapping
and Angels clapping,
as this sweet soldier
is welcomed home.

Our loss is His gain
but we still feel pain,
so comforting to know
that he does not. 

Someday we'll see him
his smile beaming.
it won't be so long-
The good fight he fought,

-Katie Cotten
