We want his memory to live on.

Thank you so very much for visiting this website. If you’re in Bellingham, please visit Kyle’s bench at Bayview Cemetery, just off of Lakeway Drive. Have a seat, enjoy the sunshine, feel peace while listening to the creek flow and the birds sing as you remember Kyle. Maybe we’ll see you there!

KYLE

The sky, so clear, bright and blue

A child’s laughter, happy at noon

The beat in a car, a thumping tune

These are the things that remind me of you.

 

A laughing boy, with eyes so blue

Who looks at the world, so fresh and new

These are the things that remind me of you.

 

Full of joy to have life in my womb

Each day seems so exciting and new

Happiness to find a white baby shoe

These are the things that remind me of you.

 

It’s been fourteen months since you flew

From my arms to your life anew,

To the sunshine and ocean so blue

 

Oh, Kyle, to turn back, if only I knew

It would be the last time I set eyes on you

I’d hold you so tight, and never let go.

I love you to the moon and back,

And this you know—and knew

These are the things that remind me of you.

 

For nine months I carried you

Now you’ve been gone nine months too

 

We all have our crosses to bear, yes we do,

 Yet I prefer to count my blessings when I think of you.

 

The memories, the laughter, the years that stand true

These are the things that will help get me through

The days, hours and minutes when I’m missing you.



Love, Mom

FIVE YEARS

It’s been five years since I hugged you, put you on that plane

My heart has broke and shattered, nothing is the same 

 I long to see your face, Love to say your name 

You’re always in my thoughts, never far away 

I still smell your clothes, look for you each day 

Yesterday was a tough one, miss you so much my son.

It was time to organize, your treasures one by one

The cards you saved, the photos, keepsakes of a life just begun

Your trophies and your black belt, every ribbon won

The yearbooks and the notebooks, I’m glad you had such fun!

I love to see your writing, read your thoughts and dreams

Life’s weird, isn’t it? It’s not what it would seem

We start a new year, and wonder what it brings

Five years since I saw you, how can that be so?

I’m thankful for the time we had, never ready to let go

New year, new goals, I’ll try to make you proud

As I find new ways to say your name out loud


Love, Kyle’s Mom

THE LIGHT

Painting

In the darkest of night

You can turn on the light

In the deepest of sorrow

You can think of tomorrow

When life has you down

You can turn it around

You have the power and will

To lead a good life still

Through the adversity,

and all of the pain

 You can find Hope

To live again

You’ve lost a child 

And I have too

That’s why I know

So much about you

My hearts filled with Love

From angels above

We’re meant to share

And always care

We have each other

As sister and brother

We’re united in loss,

our paths may still cross

Our souls are connected,

Our children are near

So lift up your heart,

You have nothing to fear

Be the Light for all to see

Gratitude will set you free


Love, Kyle’s Mom

LETTER FROM ANGEL MOM

How to explain the loss of my son?

I’m in year two, my journey’s just begun.


The hopes and dreams I had for my boy

Bring me pain and hurt instead of pure joy.


I’ve changed and become a grieving Mom

I’ve gathered my Tribe and just held on.


My world was shattered, and ripped to shreds

And oh, the thoughts that race through my head!


Some good, some bad, only memories remain

Of my sweet little boy and nothing’s the same.


He’ll never get married, or become a Dad

He’s “forever twenty-six”, and that makes me sad.


But on this journey I’ve learned something new—

A little advice I’ll pass on to you.


Grieving parents, we share a special bond

We live in the past, and it’s hard to move on.


Yet the one word that we all yearn to hear

Is our child’s name, it helps keep them near.


Our hearts beat faster and we’re filled with Pure Love

As we think of our child, a Gift from Above.


My advice if you want to help ease the pain

Is keep his memory close, and please say his name!


It won’t make me sad, I can promise you

So please speak his name—it’s the best you can do!


I know you’re afraid, but listen to me,

Remember my son, who’s now flying free.


Love, Kyle’s Mom

The Gift of a Child

Konrad & Kyle Kocsis

Kyle my son, we were excited for you from the moment of conception 

Those 9 months of development, followed by your

birth was the ultimate reception

You came into our lives so pure, young innocent and free

The unconditional love between us would be the key

A child’s life is a gift from God above

Expected to bring peace and harmony like a dove

When in reality the result of a child

Will change your world and the ride will be wild

As a young boy you had wonder and desire

Seeking answers to life’s questions was your fire

Your laugh and smile was welcomed everywhere you went

Your love for family and friends must have been heaven sent

Your blonde hair and blue eyes would complement your smile

And your big bold bear hugs will never go out of style

You lived your life to be happy and full of passion

Your enthusiasm and caring will never go out of fashion

The way you left this earth was not part of God’s plan

Accidents happen, which we are not a fan

Seeing you, hearing you and holding you, is what we all miss

That little boy that would always welcome us with a kiss

Now that you are in heaven and have left us all behind

In honor of you I ask everyone to be courteous and kind

I love you my dear son Kyle from deep in my soul

The pain of your loss has taken a grand toll

Sharing memories of you from deep in our heart

Will forever unite and bond us and never keep us apart

May God bless you and rest in peace

Until your mother and I join you in heaven for a grand feast.


Forever Love, Dad

My Dear Child

My Dear Child...My dear child how I love you so

From the moment of your birth my love for you would grow

Each and every step in life you took

Has filled pages in my memory book

You lived your life with such curiosity

Always learning and questioning every philosophy

The special adventures that we have shared

Is living proof of how much we’ve cared

I cherish the time together we have spent

And miss you more now that you have been heaven sent

Why did you have to go?

It made no sense and just brought me sorrow

Send me a sign to know that you are near

I will be alert, listening for you in every sound that I hear

I picture you as an angel soaring with wings

Every mention of you makes my heart sing

I miss you a great deal and wonder what you would say

Doubly so around each holiday

Though our moments together seem so few

You will always remain a part of our family know this to be true

You are alive in our hearts when we say your name

Know that we love you and understand you feel the same

We honor your memory with the time you had here

My dear child, I look forward to be reunited with you with great cheer

GRIEF

I went on a walk today,

And Grief came with me.

We’re constant companions now,

In this new life I lead.


My Grief was not invited,

It came crashing in last May.

And, Grief, my new companion,

Is forever here to stay.


I’m learning to accept my Grief,

I have to make it mine.

It likes to grip my heart,

Seldom with a sign.


Grief will squeeze, and hold on tight,

Until I let it go.

I really have no choice, you see,

I need the tears to flow.


I’ve learned a good cry is soothing,

And this I’ve come to know.

Grief will always find me,

Wherever I may go.


The emptiness inside me

Will never fade away.

Losing a son is tough, you see,

And I’ll never be the same.



Kyle’s Mom
