It's officially been 17 years since you left us. I miss you terribly. I know realize how special you always were to me. I knew it then but should have said it out loud more often. You were a wonderful friend Myles, a wonderful loving best friend and your absence is felt throughout my whole life. This year marks a mile stone for us buddy, we were friends for 17 years and as of today, you've been gone for 17 years. I can't believe how much I still love you. Honestly you have shown me what lasting love looks like and I now know that love is eternal, love lives on when you leave, love is eternal and has no limits. I hope you're with Jeannie up in heaven and helping her as she and I are now separated as well. So many friends are in heaven, take care of them for me Mylo... I love you buddy. I will forever love and miss you my friend! Always your Terry ....

I went to your gravesite today and replaced the old flowers with new silk flowers. I sat there and spoke with you as if you were standing behind me, 16 years without you here seem so unreal. I love you more now than I remember loving you then, and we both know how much I loved you then. You have always been such a sweetheart and I know you would have enjoyed watching Wilder grow into this amazing young lady. Both my kiddos know you and know how much you mean to me. I have so many photos in the house of you and I.
You may have left us but I continue to love you from here. I listen to your favorite songs from 2009, Chicken Fried, Kings of Leon, and most of all I spent yesterday listening to I'll be missing you, that I played at your funeral service. It's hard to believe I have lived so much life since you passed away. I pray that you Always know I love you and I know I will see you again. Send me a sign from above! I love you buddy! Keep my best friend Etta /Jeannie Company in Heaven.
Always and Forever

Our Guardian Angel, I will always remember you this way and how your big beautiful smile would light up any room.

Mylo I can´t believe it´s been 16 years since we lost you. This day always brings me back in time to the worst day of my life when I was told that I lost you...that day a part of me went with you. I know that it will help me find you in heaven when it´s my time to leave this earth. I think of you often and fondly remember your beautiful smile and how it would light up the room. Losing you changed me in so many ways, especially my outlook on life. I always think about our last conversation and how I wish I got to tell you what was in my heart...I truly feel it could have changed so much. I always think about how short life is and how we never know what our last words to someone will be. We should always let the people we love know how much we love them so when we or they leave this earth there will never be any doubt. I know you are watching over me and the boys and I still feel your presence in our lives. As you know, I´m happily married to a good and loving man ( you would have liked him, just like you like Shawn Sr) and the boys are each married with sons of their own. I know you are looking down at them and are so proud of the men, husband and fathers that they have become. What I wouldn´t give to have you back with us again and for both of us to be happy here on earth. Until we meet again, in my heart is where you stay.
With love your babydoll,
Maureen

Year after year, it doesn't get easier to admit I never truly got to say goodbye. To wake up to the news you were gone and my life would never be the same. I keep you alive and in my home with some of my favorite photos of you. I see your smile, always feel your love, and keep you close to my heart. I love you and miss your kindness, and encouragement. I wish you could have been a part of these last 10 years with me and my kids. I'm at the happiest point in my life and still feel a little broken without you, to see the joy my husband and kids bring me. You would have loved my life now. You'd be proud of me and proud of Wilder. You would have made an amazing God Father to my baby. I feel your love and presence. I feel that you are our guardian angel, that you are still with me, that you'd be right here beside me, telling me I was doing a great job, and that all my hard work was gonna be worth it. I can hear your voice and feel you in my life. Your love lives on and you are forever in our hearts. I am so happy that Maureen is still with you as well. I know how much the loss of a husband can hurt and I am glad to see she still has your love in her heart too. That's nothing less than you deserve. Time may have moved on but when you are as wonderful and loving as you, people don't forget. I hope you and your mom are at peace together and that she is with you again. She missed you terribly while she was still here and wasn't truly happy living without you. She was always your biggest fan, that must still be true in heaven.
I love and miss you and hope you are watching over us all. Thank you for all the years of being my best friend. I am always with you, thank you for all the years of love. Past and current! Thank you for always being a wonderful man in my life. Always Your best friend- Terry Laine

Mylo, I can´t believe it´s been 14 years since we lost you. I know in my heart you are in heaven watching over the boys and not a day goes by that I don´t think of you. You would be so proud of the the boys. They are amazing husbands and fathers now. Thank you for looking after us all. Until we meet again someday, in our hearts is where you stay. With love always...Maureen

Why does my heart hurt so much 13 years after you left us/me. You have been my best friend, even since you've gone! I love you even after life. I'll see you again my friend. I will always love you. God has shown me that... Love never dies, even when you lose your best friend. I miss you always, and so does Wilder. She loves you so much and you never even got to hold her.

Mylo, not a day goes by that I don't think of you. The day we met was one of the happiest days of our lives, I knew from the moment I saw you that I wanted to marry you. We had a lot of good times and some real bad times but nonetheless I married you and promised to love you through the good times and in the bad times, in sickness and in health and till death do us part. A part of me will always love you and no matter what happened in our past, all is forgiven. I know you are watching over the boys and I from Heaven and I thank you but I would give anything to have you here on earth with us. Until we meet again Mylo in my heart is where you live. Love your Babydoll.

The greatest legacy one can leave behind is the laughter from precious moments remembered...How can one person make so many feel as though they are the most important person in the world? I don't have the answer, but Myles did.

"Myles Man"- I can't even begin to say how my heart grieves for you buddy. I cherish the time we had together and the hours spent laughing. No one could ever make me so mad so fast, and then fix it with just a smile! I will carry your smile in my heart forever. My life is better just by having had you in it.

Miss Jillian- I pray that God will give you strength and comfort during this time of loss. May you find peace in knowing that Myles touched so many lives with his love, sweet spirit and quick laughter. He was an amazing person in every way.

My thoughts and prayers are with you...

Over the past year, Myles and I became very close friends through Phi Theta Kappa. So close... himself, Melissa, and I were often referred to as the triplets. I sit here finding it very hard to believe that we will not have him with us anymore. My first thoughts were that we are not through with you yet. With Myles we have been able to accomplish amazing things that would have never been possible without him. How will we ever be the same? But I know that God has bigger plans for him and that the impact that Myles has left on our entire organization will be forever lasting. Jillian, Myles spoke highly of you and for good reason. You raised an incredible son and I know you are very proud of him.

With love and sympathy,
Crystal Hawkins

I have so many wonderful memories with Myles that will never be forgotten. His smile was so contagious, and filled the room with happiness. He was such an inspiring, young man who was loving and caring. He had a positive outlook on life and a joy to be around. He will be missed and loved forever. Rest in Peace Myles Lee Dunn.

Myles has fought his battle here on earth now God need Myles with him. Just look up to Heaven and you will see Myles' smiling face looking down at you telling you that he is fine.

I thank God for the opportunity to have the pleasure of working with a wonderful person. He know how to put a smile on your face.

Myles will be missed. Guardian Angel he is....

I did not directly know Myles, but my aunt considered him to be one of her dearest friends. He was familiar with most of my family (I live further away, and probably would have eventually met him)... and they all have spoken so well of him. His death has scared us all into remembering to keep those that we love very close to us. My mother called me to cry about Myles (and my grieving aunt, Melissa) and to tell me repeatedly how much she loves me. I hope Myles knew that he was loved too.

Jen Gore

April 17, 2009

I met Myles at the age of 19 I can't believe it's been 11 years. He was someone who always made me feel good. He made me laugh alot. I don't think I ever saw him angry in all of the years I've known him. He will be missed. We were friends years ago, but with time and life there were years in between. But whenever I saw him it was like we just saw each other the day before. He always had a big hug for me. He will be missed. I pray that God wraps his loving arms around you during this time. God bless.

Rita Olive

April 17, 2009

We will all truly miss your son Jillian. Myles was the kind of person that you walked faster toward, not away from. He always had something great to say about you and always made you feel better walking away. Take heart that you did an amazing job with him. The bible says "Teach a child the way they should go and they will come back to it." Myles came back to it strong. As a friend, I have rarely seen anybody turn their life around like he did, and in turn gave many hope that they could do the same with determination. His character spoke volumes about you. I will miss him dearly. I sincerely pray for your strength during this time. Love, Anita Bush

Myles was always there to help out with my school work. We took several business classes together and he was my partner or in my group in every project. He had a kind soul and always helped out in any way that he could. My thoughts and prayer go out to all of his family and friends who knew him better than I did. We will miss you and we will know that you are always in our hearts and watching down on us and leading us in the right path.

To all who loved Myles and especially to his mother: I only knew Myles casually, as a Phi Theta Kappa advisor several years ago and subsequently through his participation in a leadership workshop with me. I know he was a high caliber student, but he also struck me as a high caliber human being.

To his mother: I have never met you, but my heart goes out to you. I buried my only son last fall, and Myles was among those who sought to honor my son's life. May your son's great generosity of spirit now be repaid through support for you in your time of devastating loss. There's nothing like losing a child. I am so very sorry for you and will keep you in my prayers. Your son's life mattered. The world is a better place because he was in it. God bless your heart with peace and comfort.
