Letter from Tyra

Below is a handwritten letter we recieved in the mail today. I could not read through it although it was so full of Love. Jennifer and Jolene neither your mother nor i could read this to you so we are sending it to you and to the rest of the family this way. I wanted you to see she had wrote it out and to me that means alot. I agree thier is no card that could say what needed to be said. This is special and obviously a special Lady. I typed it up so I got to sob all over again. This is a killer but it is also good medicine hard to explain but like told Hank I am in a blur. That is the best way to describe where I still am. Its a blur. Things like this help to clear the screen with each passing day. But typing this I am in JR.'S ROOM AND WILL BE FOREVER. I love you all.

To the Halsey Family, March, 2007

I would like to express my deepest sympathy during your time of loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I apologize for not sending a card but couldn't find one that expressed my thoughts and feelings appropriately.

Scott and I met and became friends in September 2002 when he hired me to work in Papa Lovettis Italian Buffet. I can't put into words how much fun we had or how many good times we shared there was never and I do mean NEVER a dull moment in the life of Scott Halsey :) We shared countless laughs and smiles and and definetly more joking that working while we were at Papa Lovetti's.

One of the things I will never forget about Scott was how much he loved his family. He never missed an opportunity to tell us how Joleen mad him smile and laugh or how he looked up to Jennifer for being a strong woman and a great mother to her kids. I can't even begin to tell you how much he bragged about his nieces and nephews! When Joleen had her last baby, Scott sent out pictures and text like he had given birth! He was so proud of his sisters, thier accomplishments and thier families. He also had a deep love for his parents and always wanted "mama to know her prayers for me (Scott) aren't in vain.

I loved Scott like a brother and was inexplicably saddened to hear he had passed. Scott was kind hearted and had a beautiful spirit. I will miss his smile, his laugh, his zeal for life, and warm and charming personality. He was a good man, an excellent friend, and i will cherish his memory.

I pray that Scott's soul is resting in peace and his spirit is finally at rest.

May God Bless you and keep you all as you deal with your loss. May He grant you peace and serenity and may He give you strength and wisdome.

All my love and deepest Sympathy,

Tyra Taylor (I added her last name she signed it just Tyra)
