Mike, Sam, Hunter and family- My heart is breaking along beside of you. Last night I was on my knees with you pleading with God to spare Tristin and allow him a good life. God gave him the best life, but it meant we would be without him. Little did I know yesterday, when I was waving goodbye to Mike and Hunter, how different life would be today. I am constantly praying for you and crying with you tonight. God will see you through if you turn to Him. He has a way of making our darkest hour the brightest day. Love you guys! So long for now, Tristin. Rest in peace.

Truly my heart and sincere prayers are with you and your family. Almost three years ago our family lost a daughter about the same age as Tristin. There are not words that can fill the void left in your hearts at the moment, I know this. Yet may this simple note sent with hope and concern be a gentle reminder of God's intense grace for your family. He will continue to lovingly carry you along with the prayers of so many others. You are indeed loved. In Him, Jane Ray (Olivia Noel Ray's mother)

There are times when words cannot express what we feel. And the little ways we try to help seem so small. Yet somehow through the love and prayers of friends, moves the almighty hand of God. May God hold you in the palm of His hand and comfort you with His everlasting love.

Mike and Sam, words can not express the heart felt grief that has swept the community. Our son Brayden considered Tristin one of his best friends. He has told many stories of the years they've know each other. He is going to miss him terribly. I want to express my condolences to the grandparents also. I lost my only grandson 3 years ago and know the pain. I'm sure my angel Coleton helped welcome Tristin into heaven. God, please give Mike, Sam and Hunter the strength and the ability to lean on you during this unbearable time in Thier life. God bless you all. The Brad Pace family and the Matt Cluck family.
Brad And Rhonda Pace - Friends
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

I'm not attending the services because we've had strep throat, but I've looked at every picture from Tristin's short life and mourn every future picture and family camping trip that won't include his sweet dimpled smile. He is an angel that briefly walked among us, cleverly disguised as a rowdy little boy with that certain twinkle in his eye. I've cried a thousand tears and prayed a thousand prayers begging the Blessed Mother to wrap her loving arms around you for She understands your pain. Tristin is with Jesus now and will be waiting for you to hug him again someday. Jonah includes you and Tristin in his nightly prayers as do I. He hopes to one day play DS's together again. R.I.P. Tristin. We will never forget you.
Michelle McCumber - Jonah's Mom
Dear Connie & Wayne: My heart is heavy with your loss. I know how much you have loved and cared for you kids and grandkids through the years.

This Tribute is for Tristin from Dylan: We only met the one time a year ago and you showed me the best two hours any new friend could have. You made me feel so welcome and we had so much fun playing.

To Aunt Mary, You are one very special lady, and to know you is to love you. You were an important part of our life and Cliff and I adored you. I loved how you always made yourself look so pretty, your hair just so, and dressed real cute. It was a joy to see the pride you took in yourself. Above all I loved seeing Jesus in you, and having the assurance that I knew where you were going, and I know we'll see you soon. I praise God for your life and the love you shared with us. You will be missed so very much. In His Love and ours Cliff and Pat
