A BEAUTIFUL SOUL
To the family of Skyler Stiltner, sending my deepest condolence and sympathy to each of you. Skyler and I became very close friends over the past few years, to the point that I feel I have not only lost a precious friend but a son. We could communicate a were able to discuss any and all issues and shared in many of the same illnesses. Skyler was a very intelligent, kind, considerate person and had dreams of one day spending time with and getting to know his large family. Skyler, you have now taken the final step to your beautiful heavenly home. I am happy for you because there will be no more pain,suffering or enduring the traumatic experiences you endured during your life. Skyler, I will really miss you but I am happy for you! Keep singing and dancing with the angels and we will meet again some sweet day! Rest in peace! I will love you forever! Love, “Aunt” Gina
My deepest condolences
Skyler was a great man, and I am so sorry for your loss.
