Bryce had to of been the greatest friend I had ever had and will ever have. He was always there for me and always knew how to make me laugh. For about a year and half we got a lot closer and to me he was my bestfriend. At the time I didnt realize how wonderful of a friend he was or how great of a person he was, but when he left, it made me realize that no-one else is going to be able to replace his spot as my best friend. No one will be able to be there for me as many times as he was, make me laugh as much, or do the things me and him did and actually enjoy them. For the short 3 years I knew Bryce we were able to do so much and do so many things together. When we were bored we would ride bikes or just sit on the side walk and talk bout stupid stuff, but it was funny to us. We'd do everything together, so life is a lot different w.o him here w. me. This probably changed my life forever and I wont be the same. Bryce taught me what a bestfriend was, and that no matter what happens, that person will always have a place in your heart. People would always say, u dont know what you have until its gone, and I guess u can say I didnt really understand that up until now. I didnt know what a good friend Bryce was and how much I loved him until now. When I sat in that hospital room just looking at Bryce it made me want to just die right there w. him, so i could be w. him the rest of my life, but I am sure that I will see him soon and hopefully real soon. Everyone that knew Bryce loved him, and I am positive that he loved us to. I love B-Ryce Christian Herrera, always and forever.. and he will always have a huge place in my heart.

Bryce was like a third brother to me, he always made me laugh, even when he didnt say anything, just his facial expressions would light up a room, he was a very good athlete, he could play any sport, like me and him started to play tennis together, we would play alot during the summer and then we would play alot after school too, and about after 1 month, it seemed like he had been playing his whole life, he also played soccer for a long time, football, and basketball, and he pretty much perfected all of them. The only thing comforting me right now is no that he is in the hands of the Lord, because he deserves the best, he would never do anything to hurt anyone else in any way , he was friends with everyone, and so many people loved him and still do to till this day, i know i will always and forever, because when they buried him, i felt like a peace of me was going with him, he was always there for me and i was always here for him, like he would call if he had any problems (and that was rare), and i would call if i had any problems, but everything happens for a reason and im glad i spent 4 years of my life with him, because those were the best 4 years of my life, and i cant wait to get to heaven and see him again, because that will be the best day of my life....

Thinking of you Martha Ann / Cheryl~Mom To Angel William Joe Day~ (Another grieving Mom )
Dear Martha Ann,
I am so sorry to say the least at the loss of your precious son. I belong to POS and am a silent member. I just happened to open up an e-mail and saw your story. I want you to know that I care and I am here for you. I know the pain of losing a child from suicide as I lost my son, Joe, at 19 on November 18th, 2005 from suicide. It is just so hard to cope with. By having understanding parents that have been there and know what I am feeling helps to some degree. I also want you to know that I am here anytime you want to talk about anything else. I am just an e-mail away. Please know that you and your loving family and your beautiful angel will always be in my thoughts and prayers. From one Mom to another. Together we can help one another through. Cheryl Close

Bryce: A Great Student! / Bobette Down (Elementary principal )
It was a privilege to have Bryce at Clay Road Baptist School. He was the kind of student we like to have. He did well in school and was well liked by his teachers and classmates. He and his brothers added so much life to our school, and his mother was a tireless volunteer and advocate for her sons and others.
May the LORD provide comfort and hope as you continue on life's journey without him.
Love, Bobette Down
"Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs . . . They go from strength to strength till each appears before God in Zion."
The name "Bryce" so unusal - The middle name "Christian" so uncommon - The "birthdate of Christmas", special and rare being shared with our Christ born this day. These facts describe Bryce the best to me... "Miracles" happen all the time right in front of us but no one slows down to notice.... The short time God gave Bryce to us - God gave us "miracles through Bryce"- The miracle of a "smile" - Bryce's smile was sincere and left you with a warm feeling of gentleness The miracle of ones "presence" - This feeling is one that only a few people like Bryce dared to display. The feeling of true caring and open trust that one bestows on others while in their company. Bryce was always listening quietly to those around him without being judgemental. Though his life was cut short, we will remember how he made us each feel important. The miracle of "ambition" - gives us hope that we, too can succeed in anything we apply ourself to as Bryce proved many times in all the many sports he played and conquered. The miracle of "love" - as was proven the day Bryce was called home. His parents , siblings, family, and friends came together to pray and mourn the passing of this "rare and gentle soul" . This day God bonded all of us together as family as we each share our own special love and memories made with Bryce. The most important miracle is "Faith" . This one we cannot doubt. We will again be reunited with Bryce and all those with "good souls" in the kingdom of Heaven to come.... He will be first in line to meet us at the Pearlie Gates with "his unforgetable smile".... love your Aunt Hazel
We only thought life was tough, but now we know different. The "Christmas Baby" the best Christmas the Dutka's ever had and at that time we did not now why. But in a very few short years, now we know. Bryce you were always the shinning star in a room no matter where you were. People felt warm in your presences, especialy I. No matter were we go or who is there, something is always missing, you. I do not think that will ever change in our not so perfect family, but in a family who's love is unmeasureable when it comes to parents, sister's, brothers, nieces, newphews and grandkids. Our love is still there, but we are all trying to figure out what went wrong with everything, where do we go from here. One thing will never change. You are our angel from God so please watch over us, especially your parents & brothers. We need you to guide us so that we again can be that tree from where you came. Our love for you and what you stood for, forever shines in our daily life's. We will never forget you and someday when Aunt Hazel and I have grandchildren they to will know you and all the goodness and happiness you brought to the entire family.
I miss you B_ryce / Martha Ann Herrera (mom)
Bryce was a wonderful blessing born on Christmas Day 1991. He was the second son of what ended up as 5 boys in our family. From birth he was remarkable. He never crawled but at 9 months took off walking. He was a natural born athlete and excelled in all sports whether he was interested or not. He was a gift from God and I am so thankful for his life and the legacy he has left behind. I love him and miss him dearly. There are so many who I want to thank for loving my son and being a part of his wonderful life. He was such a blessing and it saddens me to know that he, as much as many, feel so hopeless in this dark world. We all have the choice to believe in truth or lies and the truth is there is hope, peace and joy and it is so close to you that many can’t see it. Kids, talk to an adult about the pressures you face. This is a hard place for kids grades, college choices, future success…. These are NOT what we are really here for. We are here for true GREATNESS which is about character and integrity more about what is on the inside coming out touching others lives around you than what you have accumulated on the outside. If only 2 of you know the flaws in my life you would call me a hypocrite but God’s grace and mercy is so unbelievable there are do overs every day, every minute. That’s how big our God is. May you not leave this website without hearing a quiet word from our saviour of the peace and happiness Bryce feels and will feel for eternity…. I know I will see my son again one day…… Do you? Close
