"The Grizz"
Bryan,
Wow where to begin, you were born on March 22, 1990. Momma wieghed 2oo lbs and thought you would never arrive!!! You were the best baby that a mom could ever ask for, you slept all night at 2 weeks old, Justin did not sleep all night until he was 4!!!! Then you turned "2". Hang onto your hat!!! you were so independant and so ornery!!! It was about the time everyone decide that a good ol' whoopin wasn't right and that time out's were the new thing! They did not know you!!! To put you in a time out I practically had to sit on you. You would get into trouble and say just spank me, but please don't ground me! You were always on the go and you would not take NO for an answer.
We moved to Casa Grande, Arizona when you were 3 and you were a little desert rat. When you were in kindergarten, your Grandpa Larry came down to announce a rodeo. You told the school that you were supposed to ride the bus home that day instead of riding the bus to Aunt Dawns. You then got on your little bicycle that had 2 flat tires and rode about 3 miles through the desert, on the runway of the airport just to see Grandpa! However when you got there he was gone. You found a nice lady and asked her" Do you know my Grandpa he is the Rodeo Announcer, I think I might be in a world of trouble". What you did not know was that everyone was out looking for you and when we finally saw you all we could do was hug you because you were safe! You started out playing T-Ball and went all through little league in Arizona. We moved back to Colorado when you were in the 5th grade. You and Justin were so excited to be in the mountains, you were now our Mountain Man. You fell in love with hunting and antler hunting, we have so many of those wonderfull antlers I used to compaine about now to remember you by. You excelled in Baseball and made the all-star team 3 years in a row. You were an awsome second baseman. About that time, your dad started judging rodeos in Ignacio, you and Justin both wanted to ride steers, well you were getting hung up and stepped on pretty regularly and decided that might not be for you, however Justin never stopped and is still going strong. You however, decided that it might be fun to become a bullfighter instead. You started bugging Jube and Ryan every weekend to tell you about bull fighting, and they did. They were your hero's. Then you went with Grandpa to a rodeo and met Travis Anderson who was bullfighting for Buster Webb and told him you wanted to be a bullfight, Travis gave you his old equipment and it was all over. The only problem was that you were only 16, and no contractor wanted to hire you because of your age and you were just starting out. But there was one willing to take you all over the four corners and the was your Uncle Mark Sanchez. How he loved you so much, that is who gave you your start and a chance to become a very caring and loving young man. You loved the Lord and Crossroads Rodeo Company. You fought in the summer in Pagosa with Gusse, and that is where you really learned you tecnique, he thought he was too hard on you but you learned a great deal from him and his loving Family. There we met the Conaty's, or should I say that we reconnected with them, your Dad rodeoed with Robbie and knew Kim, boy did they love you. Little Chancie became your shadow the summer you worked on the ranch and you bugged the heck out of Baily . Remember the scuffed up face? Trying to be a trick rider!!!
Your intrest in school however, was for the social interaction!!! Your senior year you attended REACH. Not only did you attend but so did Andy, Dan, and TJ and Dakota, boy did Mandy and Irene have their hands full. The four Muskateers. Oh yeah and Justin went there too, the fights you two had over wearing your seatbelt to school.
You were so busy the last 3 years, rodeoing, and hanging out with the boys, Frank, Jessie, Toby, Billy, Justin and the Alburquerque bunch! You loved going to Rennies and playing pool and just hanging out with her Anna and Erin. You would POP over to Cheryl and Keiths for some Butterfinger hot chocolate and to sleep after an early morning of antler hunting. You would POP over to Aunt Hanne's and Uncle Ed's for some supper. You would go by Grandma Howlett's to see if she was OK. OH yeah and don't forget the countless Christmases with Grandma Mams and Grandpa playing greedy,greedy. The year of 2007 was a busy one for you, you bullfought for Mark all summer, went to Wickenburg where you met some wonderfull people, you bullfough for Casper Baca during the winter series, and then you decided that to make any money you needed to go Pro. So....You found Two Bulls Bullfighting Acadamy,in Miami Oklahoma. You and Billy were all set to go and guess what? Billy missed his plane, and you went by yourself. That was in December, we were worried about you being out there by yourself, but not to worry, Jim McClaine and Allen Nelson, took good care of you, and there you met Aaron, what a great guy, he took you back to Tulsa with him because you were going to fly out the same day as him....but Mother Nature had other plans. The ice storm of the century hit Oklahoma and Tulsa was right in the middle of it. You two were stranded without electricity, and the Airport shut down. But the two of you would not be held back in the car you went and slipped off to see what you could see. Helping some eldery lady get a tree off her car,and not taking any money. What two great young men. And meeting Aaron you made a friend that will be forever with us. You were so excited about being pro and Jason Knott had been fighting with you that summer. What an impact he made on your life, and you made on his. You two decided that you would bullfight in the Two Bulls Bullfighting in Texarkana in March.Jason payed the entry fees, but that would not happen. On January 27, 2008 you left this world and went to be with your Lord! There are still day's that I don't belive it's really true. I can't believe it's been 10 months. Bryan you touched so many lives and I miss you so much. Everyday something or someone reminds me of you and our loss. I know you are in a better place, I know how much you loved the Lord, and that your last weekend here on earth was with Tilt and the Hodson's and all of your rodeo family. That gives me some comfort, knowing that you a Toby had a good weekend. I will never ever forget our drive home that night, it was snowing so hard, you just said " Madre your doing good, just stay by the outside line." I remember your hug and your smile. But sometimes it seems as if it is fading. Thank GOD for Henry and Hilda Nakai, for all of the great rodeo pictures they took of you so that we can have them to remember you by. And all of your friends who took countless pictures of you that summer. To all of you "Young Men and Women" don't ever quit taking pictures, thank you all who shared your pictures of Bryan with us. He Loved each and every one of you! I know that I forgot to name alot of Kids that were great friends to Bryan but you all know who you are and we love you all so much. Bryan Roper Howlett, we your family Love and Miss you so much, but you will never be forgotten in our hearts and in our lives.
Love always,
Mom, Dad, Justin,Grandma Mams,and Grandpa and Grandma Howlett, and all of your Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and friends!

I love you!!!
I love and miss you more with each passing day. I sometimes feel so alone with this horrible thing they call grief. Tomorrow night is a special night my son, we will be remembering all of our children that have gone to soon. Please watch over us, were in the mist of a drought I guess you can say. I don't know sometimes how to go on, the only thing keeping me going right now is my family. I thank God for them but I only wish I knew an easier way to live this thing they call life. We love and miss you each and every second my son. Love Momma!!!

'Twas the day before Easter
..and all through the woods,
The bunnies were busy
packing their goods.
The eggs were all coloured
so pretty and bright,
All things were 'go'
for the big, special night.
The baskets were waiting,
all decorated with care,
In hopes that the Bunny
soon would be there.
My little brother Sam
was asleep in his bed,
While visions of Easter eggs
rolled round his head.
And I in my pyjamas
with the cat on my lap,
I had just settled down
for a quick little nap.
When outside the window
I heard a great noise,
I sprang from my chair
and jumped over some toys.
As quick as a flash
to the window I flew,
I pulled up the shade
and, OH, what a view.
The moon on the meadow
cast a bright golden glow
And the wind blew the flowers
to and then fro.
Then all of a sudden
from out of nowhere,
Came some lively bunnies,
hopping here, hopping there!
Leading the group
with ears long and funny
Was a plump, all-white rabbit...
That's right...the EASTER BUNNY!
The bunnies hopped past,
one, two, three, four,
The rabbit called out
and then there were more.
'Come, Peter! , Come, Flopsy! ,
Come, Benny! , Come, Joe!
Now hop along! Hop along! Hop along! GO! '
So up on each doorstep
the bunnies did hop,
With baskets of eggs.
(Let's hope they don't drop) !
Just at that moment,
on the porch down below,
Came the stomping of feet
'Twas the rabbit, I know!
As I stepped from my window
I heard a loud sound.
Through the door came the rabbit
with a leap and a bound.
He was furry and soft
from his head to his feet.
To see him so close
was really quite neat.
He was surrounded by eggs
that had been carefully dyed.
Easter eggs galore he soon would hide.
His eyes were all twinkles,
His nose was so pink,
And I can't be too sure,
but I think he did wink.
He had a kind face
and a big fluffy tail
That bobbed up and down
like a boat with a sail.
A twitch of his nose
and a flick of his ear
Was his way of saying,
'You've nothing to fear.'
He uttered no sound
as he hopped all about
Hiding the eggs and leaving no doubt,
That the Easter bunny had come
like he does every year...
Bringing baskets of happiness
to children so dear.
Jana Ghossein
☆ LOVE TO YOU AT EASTER☆

Gone but Not Forgotten
My Dearest Bryan,
Tomorrow will be 3 years since you grew your Angel Wings, I don't know where the time has gone, I still expect to have you come bounding into the house and see your smiling face. I miss you so much so does Dad and Justin. There is such a hole in our hearts and it will never be filled, but I know that you want us to go on living and doing all the things you loved to do. I love and miss you more than words can express, I love you my Angel Son.......Love Madre
Bryan,
Another Christmas is coming where you won't be here with us. I try to think back to our last Christmas together, 2007. That was probably one of the BEST Christmases ever. I know that we have to move forward and that you would want us to move forward but there is just a huge void there. The holidays seem to make it worse. Also, the anniversary of the day you went to Heaven is approaching. I have so many things I wish I could tell you. I know all I have to do is just talk to you and you are there but I want to see your face, hear your laughter and just hug you. Its been a rough 3 years, Bryan. Just know that I love you with all of my heart and we will see each other again someday. Merry Christmas kiddo!!! I love you so much.
Happy Thanksgiving
Hey Babe,
I can't believe another holiday is comming and going. I don't know where the time went, It seems to just fly by. I think of you almost every second of everyday! I seem to miss you more and more....It seems you are getting farther, farther away from me Bry, I miss your smile and your hugs so much. Please watch over us this Season. I love you my dearest Son.
Love you soooooo Much,
Madre
♥
GOD BLESS.....

Oh most beautiful star
In the sky tonight
You are most bright
I watch and wait
With hand raised up
Open and waiting
Slowly, oh so slowly
You move through
The night sky
You come closer
As I watch and wait
Hand outstretched
Then ever so softly
You come to rest
In the palm of my hand
You shine like a diamond
Your brilliance
Holds me in awe
I could almost wish
To hold you tight
To keep you safe just for me
In time, your light
Would fade from sight
You would die
To me and to all
So I let you stay
As long as you wish
With palm open
So you may leave at will
You will travel back
To the night sky
To shine brightly
For all to see
I will cherish
The moments you gifted me
With your light
Specially for me
For a little while…
Star So Bright
by Ann Marquette.
