Another holiday without you...it just stinks! But on this holiday I am thankful for many things, one of which is YOU! For 18 years there was alot of joy and happiness, with so many wonderful memories. Now, it's sadness, but I look at your pictures and think of many different things and sometimes I smile with good thoughts and then there are thoses times where I could just scream and go crazy. Don't worry Heath, we will have placemats with your face on, so you will still be with us, just not like we would want it. You will always be in my everyday living, and I know for a fact, there is NO day that goes by that I don't mention your name. I love you and miss you and always will and you will always be part of my daily routine! God Bless You Honey! Love Mom
Hi Honey, we had your memorial service tonight and it was nice, but sad, but it was our tribute to you. It was indoors tonight for the first time and it went well. Kady, Kasey, Amanda, Allyson, Trish, Matt and Kyle came. ( friends ) Silvia, Nina, Dawn, Pap, Sis and Olivia was here also. I think you were here too, because your one candle was playing tricks on us. The kids were sitting around talking and I know you would have enjoyed that. You liked being with your friends, it didn't really matter what you did. I hope you received your heart balloons, they were filled with our love for you. I still don't understand how we got into this position, Heath, but I certainly never imagined having a memorial service for my 18 year old son. I hope if nothing else, Heath, you knew how much you were loved. I promise you Honey, these tributes will go on and it is my mission to make sure your memory lives on. Heath, I will always love you and miss you and Never forget you! Love, Mom
We just had your annual memorial service. Every year someone else comes to join us. It is so remarkable how you had a great influence on so many. Olivia is really starting to understand what this is all about. Today I was telling her about your service and she said how much she misses you and I told her that she really didn't know you, and she corrected me real quick. So thank you for how you are watching over her and living through her. I told her how much you would have loved her and how much fun you would have together. But there is no doubt, she knows who you are. I miss you
tremendously and can't wait to rejoice with you again someday.

Your Precious Son Heath / Terri♥Mom To Angel Brent Bowden (connected by angels )
Dear Hassler family,
I just wanted to say how very sorry I am for the loss of your precious son Heath~he sounds like such a wonderful young man taken so tragically and so young. I lost my 18 year old son in January of this year in a different type of tragedy but the loss is unbearable. As you already know our lives will never be the same without our beautiful sons here to fullfill all our dreams and hopes for them. I hope they have met in heaven and have become good friends. They sound alot alike.
Brent made an awful choice that cost him his life and I know if he had to do it over again he would make different choices. He was just trying to fit in with all the COOL kids which is no excuse but our schools are overrun with prescription drugs but Brent was the first to loss his life over them. Our only hope is that he will save a few lives from giving his own life.
Sorry I didn't mean to go on and on about that but I need to say Brent was an awesome kid and he made a terrible tragic mistake.Doesn't make losing him any easier. My heart goes out to all of you as you approach the 4 year anniverary of losing Heath. Time doesn't seem to help the way they say it will~it only hurts more because its longer since we've seen or hugged our precious sons. I am praying you find some peace & comfort in your beautiful memories of your awesome son.

Hi Honey! We had your 4th Memorial Bowling Tournament on November 2, 2008. There were 16 participants and it was really nice. Everyone we talked to enjoy it and think it is really nice. This year we made t-shirts for the top 5 finishers, of course with your picture on it. It's amazing how we used to live at the bowling alley, watching you bowl, and now I only go on the day of your tournament. Your memory will live on, Honey, and you will never be forgotten! I will always miss and love you, and I will always keep on striving to keep your memory alive! Love, Mom
Hi Honey! I know how much you liked to go trick or treating. It didn't matter how old you were, you always looked forward to it. We probably still have your hockey gear and Jason mask. I have alot of good Halloween memories, Heath, and I will always cherish them. I used to think why don't you go as something else, now I wish you were just here. I hope you get alot of candy and have fun with your Angel friends. I am sending some candy to you, Honey...hope you enjoy...All My Love, Mom
I wish you were here to celebrate with us, but I bet you really saw pretty fireworks. We didn't do anything, but go to eat and come home. It was raining all day, so you really didn't feel like doing anything. We put up a pool but you couldn't go swimming. I know you would really like it and have fun. We try to make things fun honey, but it's just not the same without you! Aunt Sheri comes home tomorrow, so I will take her to your tree and show her your fountain and we will reminisce and cry. I love you and miss you so much Heath, it is still so hard to comprehend. Have fun honey and I look forward to the day when I can hold you again! Love, Mom
Today, we salute you Heath, with all the other Veterans and people still serving our country. To us and many, you are a true Hero for the battle you so courageously fought. You remained strong, positive and firm on your faith. Never once did you ever say anything negative, but marched forward with your head high, hoping for a victory. As fate would have it, your illness robbed us all of a beautiful future. You didn't give in, Heath, you stayed strong through it all. I remember many things through your battle and what you went through, and I can Never do what you did. Not only today, but everyday, I salute you! You were and will always be my Hero! I Miss you and Love You so much! Mom xoxoxoxo
Happy 22nd Birthday Heath! It's hard to believe how quickly time goes by. It feels like so much has happened in my life, I can't help but to wonder what you'd be up to. You are missed!
Happy Birthday Heath !! It is another birthday celebration for you but without you. I thought it would be getting easier to cope with all of this by now, but it is actually getting harder. I don't know how to explain to Olivia that we are have having a birthday party for you and buying you balloons etc. when we are just looking a pictures of you and we are the ones blowing out your candles. This month is Olivia's birthday too, so now I get stressed out over her presents! You just get money into your scholarship account now. Oh, how you would have your list ready months in advance. I wonder, do they have video games in heaven? When I watch American Idol, I always think who you would be rooting for. As always, I could really use a good hug, I really miss those! Have a sooper birthday today and I sure hope heaven it what they say it is! Your beautiful smile is deeply missed as well as your laugh and presence. I miss you bud, love sis
