Aunts & Uncles Alex Euziere, Anna Euziere, Steven Garber, Steven Wilson & Jerrod Wilson. Godmother Lauren Miller and many many extended family members, church family members and close family friends. TJ touched many lives in his short time on earth. He has left us so many precious memories like snuggling up with mommy and watching the car races, his last car race was the Daytona 500 he loved the whine of the cars as they rounded each curve. He spent many hours sitting in grampa Bogers lap, pretending to drive and spent precious moments listening to nursery rhymes and singing with Grammy Boger. He enjoyed all of the sweet kisses from Aunt Anna and listening to her practice her Tuba lessons. TJ spent many hours sitting next to Grandma Peggy playing on the computer, learning how to play computer games and enjoyed going out to eat at Paula Sues Diner and being fawned over by all of his friends. TJ had quite a fan club, girls just couldnt pass up those big blue eyes. He also enjoyed going with Mommy to watch Grandma Peggy dance. TJ loved music. He enjoyed all kinds of music. TJ shared so many special weekends with Daddy playing video games and with Nana Caryn enjoying his wonderful, soothing baths and snuggling up with she and Makynleigh. He enjoyed Nana Caryn singing to him on his restless nights and just being curled up safe in her arms soaking up all the love. TJ was surrounded by love every day of his life.

He was in the best of hands on this earth and we know he is in Gods arms today. The Master Gardener The Master Gardener From Heaven above, Planted a seed In the garden of love. And from it there grew A rosebud small, That never had time To open at all. For God in His perfect And all-wise way, Chose this rose For his heavenly bouquet. And great was the joy Of this tiny rose, To be the one our Father chose. To leave Earth's garden For One on high, Where roses bloom always And never die... So, while you can't see Your precious rose bloom, You know The Great Gardener, From the "Upper Room" Is watching and tending This wee rose with care, Tenderly touching Each petal so fair... So think of your Darling With the Angels above, Secure and contented And surrounded by love, And remember God blessed And enriched your lives, too, For in dying, your Darling Brought Heaven closer to you!
