I want to start
by saying thank you to each and every one of you for you thoughts and prayers.
Dayton was one of those who touched the life of everyone that came into contact
with him. He has so much life and love. And even though I am at such a liss
right now I know how very blessed I was to have 21 wonderful years with him. He
was such a motivation and inspiration to many.
Please keep posting pictures and
memories of him. Help me keep his memory alive.
Also for those wondering he will
be at the Benjamin Funeral Home in Nowata Oklahoma. And I will post more when I
know more.

Please everyone. Don't let my son's death be for no reason.
PLEASE I believe this was his last call. This was him calling each and every
one of you to the alter to accept Christ as your Lord and Savior. Please accept
his last calling. My sweet son you impacted so many in just this short 21
years. You have made such a difference in this world. You impacted the life of
everyone you met. I am so lost, I miss you more than words can ever express. We
are all so very proud of you. You so much life yet unlived, so much love to
still give. You were taken away way to soon. But I know in my heart God's
timing is always perfect. And even though I don't understand why I know I have
to trust Jesus more than I ever have in my life.
"May the LORD, my rock, be
praised, who trains my hands for battle and my fingers for war."
Another day, Sweet Jesus please give me strength, Your strength.
I know I can not do this alone of my own strength. I need your mercy on my
family in this time of tragic. Help me to put my family back together. Lord,
put your healing hands on Nikki Bryer, comfort her and Cami remind
them of how much Dayton loved them, give them peace. But most of all please give
my baby Dayton Tyler Beard a big hug for me and tell him how much he is
loved & missed here.

He wanted you back way to soon. I am so very thankful for the
time I had with you, so very thankful for the great honor of being your Mom. I
just wish I could have had more time.
Ok everyone I
would like to start by thanking each and every one of you for all the beautiful
posts and prayers. I would also like to give say thank you to the US Army for
being so amazing with everything. But lastly I would like to give a special
thank you to all his wonderful brothers and sisters in arms. I could never
express the gratitude I have for all of you. You wonderful messages that you
have sent me have meant so much and I am so very thankful. I always knew Dayton
was very special (but I'm his Mom of couse I do) but to hear it from soooo many
has been breath taking. And I can't even express how much more proud it makes
me. I want you all to know he loved his job and was so honored to be a part of
such an amazing family. I also want you all to know that he is with you in your
hearts.
I would love to
turn this page into a memorial page for my sweet angel. So if you start seeing
things change know its me.
Today has had
its ups and downs as will many more to come. But I have come to except that for
now. I know that with the power of my Lord and Savior I will make it through
all this. I also know that Dayton Tyler
Beard is with me every second. I have felt his presents more
today than before which has been such a blessing. And even though I know my
most difficult days are yet to come I know in my heart he is with me and with
hold onto me. I also know as I have said before when I am weak Jesus is
strong. He will give me rest. And He will carry me through it all. I am not
going to say I don't fail or fall but I know that when I do my Father is there
to pick me up, hold me tight, and help me through. I also know that my Heavely
Father loves me more that I can ever imagine and he will never leave me or
forsake me. I know my days will get better as time go's bye, but I also know
that my life has changed forever. I was blessed and honored with the joy of
being the Momma of my precious Dayton. And 21 years of memories, and for that I
am very grateful. Yes, I wish there was more, but I am coming to accept that is
something I can not change. I am just going to live my life to the fullest
enjoying my other 4 wonderful babies and wait for Jesus to take me home to have
eternal life in heaven. And that is when I will be joined with my sweet babies
again. It doesn't mean the road will be easy, it just means I have peace in
knowing I will see him again one day. Until then I have a job here to do. I
have a purpose. And I have a mission. And I am going to do the best I can to
fulfill it to the fullest.
Please remember to pray for all who was involved in this terrible accident, as well as our military (how has been more than a blessing to me). But also pray for the lost, we as children of Christ have no clue how lost they truly are. If you think about it. For me I just cant even wrap my mind around it. To not know that there is much more than just this. That here and now is only preparation for eternity in heaven. Oh what a blessing that is, to have that peace and know that when we loose a loved one here we will see them again, that they are in a much batter place, full of joy, love, happiness.
With all this being said. If you need anything, if this has opened questions to you. I want you to know you can contact me anytime.
May God Bless each of you and keep you safe.

I would like to say thank you to everyone for all the wonderful
messages I have gotten, telling me how much you cared about Dayton Tyler
Beard. And sharing with me. Words can not express how thankful I am
to each and everyone of you for it.
I am so proud of this beyond words. Dylan
Hagebusch and Miriah E
Hagebusch had Coach Ragon Steele make
this for me. Words can not express my gratitude.
— with Dayton Tyler
Beard.
As each day
go's bye even though my heart is broken for the loss of my dear sweet Dayton Tyler
Beard; and to be quite honest almost every morning I would have much
rather stayed in bed and not delt with anything. But I know my and getting just
a little big stronger each day with the help of my Lord and Savior. And I know
that I have things I have to take care of for my son. I also know that my other
boys still deserve to have their mom. He wipes my tears and comforts my sorrow.
I know I can always find rest in the comfort of His loving arms. As it draws
closer to Saturday, I find myself in almost constant prayer, praying for my
Heavenly Father to give me strength and carry me though this time. I know that
I myself will not be able to make the walk I need to make in the next few days.
I know that it will only be with God's mercy and grace that I can do this. But
I am so utterly thankful for the fact that I know I do not have to make it
alone. I know that my sweet Jesus will carry me, He will comfort me, He will
give me the strength that surpasses all understanding.

Heavenly Father, wrap your arms around those in pain, no
matter the pain. Give them the comfort of your loving arms, fill them with your
peace, carry them through whatever their trial may be. Give them the grace to
pass all their tests. Soften their hearts so they can hear your voice, show
them how to love as you love. Lord, only you can give the comfort that they
need. Only you can give the peace they need, and only you can feel their hearts
with joy. Father fill them with the Holy Spirit that gives them that peace,
love, and joy. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Heading to the funeral home. Lord give me strength.
Today has been
a blessing. It started with a much needed girls day with my bestie Tracy
Williams. LOVE MY ESCAPE POD!! We have pedi's, nails, mall, lunch and a
drink.. smile emoticon Oh and a hair cut from my most
favorite beautiful beautician in the world!
Then a visit from my other bestie Ellen Fernandez. smile emoticon
Then we went to the Funeral Home to see my baby Dayton Tyler Beard, even though it was hard it has actually given me peace. I can't really explain it. I really do believe it was Dayton that gave me the peace. I also got to finally meet Kyle Graff & Jay Munoz. I also got to see my other bestie Chrystie & Bill Wade, My nephews Michael Beard and Shiloh Beard, and my nieces Sarah Beard and their precious baby girl.
Then we had a wonderful visit with Doug Lucas, Nikki Bryer, Teresa Bryer, Brittney O'dell, Kyle, & Jay. We had such a wonderful visit, telling stories about Dayton and other things.
Finally ending the night with showing Kyle and Jay some good ole Oklahoma Hospiltality and feeding them a smoked pork and all the fixins. Then ofcouse more visiting.
I can completely see why Dayton cared so deeply for these guys. They are fantastic! And we are so blessed to have them in our lives.
You know people keep asking where I am getting my strength. Honestly I am telling you it is from Christ! I promise I personally am not that strong. But where I am weak He is strong. I have actually been amazed at how I have been able to keep going. And it is such a joy to know that it is all Him! To finally really see it in myself. I have discoved so much about my Heavenly Fathers power in my. And has it ever been a blessing. And really I am beginning to understand this "joy" that I think Justin McKee was talking about at Church a couple weeks ago. Man to have peace and joy in the mist of something so tragic is just breath taking.

I will miss you every second of every day. I will miss your
laugh, smile, compassion, strength, loyalty, love, hugs and much more. There is
not anything about you I won't miss. I know you are dancing and singing. I know
you will have nothing but joy and peace and happiness in heaven. And even
though I will miss you more than I can express, I know you will forever be with
me, im my heart and by my side. I love you my sweet baby boy and I will see you
when my job here is done. But for now just remind me every so often you are
here. Give Momma, Daddy, Trevor all hugs n kisses for me.
Dayton Tyler Beard I wanted to make sure that you had your can of
chew, so I gave it to you myself.
Today we got to
meet many of Dayton Tyler Beard s friends from Colorado. It has been a true
blessing to meet them all, just wish it would have been on different
circumstances.
My sweet baby will be laid to rest tomorrow. It will be on one of the hardest days of my life. A parent should never have to do. But to be a military mom you try to prepare yourself for it. But their is no such thing. I do believe my Heavenly Father was preparing me for it though, I just didn't realize it. I have had many ask me how I am not mad at God. It is simple. My Heavenly Father did NOT do this. This is the work of Satin. He knew what a difference you were making in this world, how many lives were changing because of you, how many hearts you have touched. And that scared him. It breaks my heart to loose you, I honestly can not even explain the pain. But it gives me great honor to know that you are now one of God's warriors! You are now my guardian angel. You will always be close to me in my heart. And even though I can not get one of your amazing "it will be ok Momma" hugs I know I will someday. I know you will be waiting on me to come home. But while I am still here, I will make sure to always remind everyone I meet to loved their babies everyday and than their heavenly Father for every second with them. You are my hero! Please keep an eye on everyone and give them safe travel to and from. Give them the comfort they need. And I will see you soon my sweet soldier!

Today we got to meet many of Dayton Tyler Beard s friends
from Colorado. It has been a true blessing to meet them all, just wish it would
have been on different circumstances.
Well baby you
funeral was beautiful, it was so amazing to see so many come form near and far.
Some drove all night to make sure they were there. I was so touched. I always
knew you were a amazing young man, and such a blessing to this world. I told
your brothers when they were talking about so many people that they shouldn't be
suprised, you always did through the best parties! I know you were there
watching over us all. And yes, I could hear you wisper its ok Momma, I love
you. It is so hard to let you go. I am so thankful for the 21 years I got to
spend with you, for the times you made me laugh so hard cried, the times you
made me so proud I cried, and the times you made me so mad I cried. I will
forever charrish every second. Getting to know all of your battle buddies from
Fort Carson was so wonderful and I could see why you cared so much for them.
Baby, I am so proud of you. Many times I have felt like I didnt do enough. I
miss you more that words can even express. I also want to tell you, your
brothers are so strong, you would be so proud of them all. Oh baby if you only
knew how much they all love you. And even thoug they are hurting so much inside
they have been strong for me. And my sweet Doug, he has been my rock, which you
have always knew he would be. He was so proud of you. He loves you so much. Be
with all your friends, help them to grow from this pain, help them to see how
precious life is, remind them every second of every day to count their
blessings - name them one by one, help me to help them. Baby you know how much
Dylan loves you and he needs your comfort.
Hotel is
booked! will find out flight arrangements in the morning. Leaving sometime tomorrow.
The boys are so excited to fly, although I wish it was different circumstances.
Oh my sweet baby. I have notices over the past few days that I never hardly
have my phone. Doug Lucas is always bringing it to me. But now....with you gone...it
just don't matter. I mean before I never was without it..... I waited for that
next call... you had your own special ring so i always knew if it was a
drop everything call...... i listen to every video i can find with your sweet
voice in it just so i can hear you again. to know i will never see that million
dollar smile again is devastating. I am so thankful for the years i had with
you, i am so thankful for your brothers to pull me through, im so thankful for
getting to meet you friends, im so thankful you are in such a better place.. i
am so thankful that i have Jesus to carry me, i am so thankful i have a God is
gives me strength, i am so thankful i have so many loved ones around me, and
even though i am sad that you are gone i wouldn't wish you back. It is so hard
to let you rest in peace because every second of every day, every thought is of
you.
— with Dayton Tyler
Beard.
I have been listening to this band every sence they came to
church. And I think I have every single CD they have. However this song always
struck me in a soft spot. And now even more! Everyone please listen to it.
Listen to the words. This IS my baby! Kyle Graff, Ryan Huddle, Edward Villalobos, Jay Munoz, Dave Anglin, Dylan
Hagebusch, Stephen Hagebusch, Troy Wayne,Tucker Webb, Jacob Dillon
Ward, Doug Lucas, Andrew Ferrebee and who ever I might have missed. Oh and I
would like to add this band is ANMAZING!
Ok so I need everyone to say a prayer seeing as how I have never
flown before. And also remind Dayton Tyler
Beard it's not be a good time to play tricks on me!
Colorado sure aint as beautiful with out your warm hugs and
million dollar smile. Sure do miss you baby Dayton Tyler
Beard If heaven wasn't so far away Id probably never be home!
As I set here
in Colorado Spring, Colorado this morning I look aroud at almost everyone still
sleeping, everyone but Colton Beard is here. Everyone except
you my sweet Dayton Tyler Beard. You always brought so much life into a room, into a
home, into our lives. As we go to your memorial today at Fort Carson, please be
with us and keep us strong. I hope you know how proud we all are of you and how
much we miss you. Over these past 11 days there has been many times I have
been so angry with you for leaving us. What I wouldn't give to have take
your place, you had so much to live for, so much life. Then I have to remind
myself what I have heard Joyce Meyer say many times; as we go through life,
with each trial, with each mistake, with each victory, we become more Christ
like until we are "Christ like" and that you were, you gave to much
to so many in this world never expecting anything in return. My Heavenly Father
has carried me through this difficult time. He has given me strength beyond
understanding. He has given me peace with knowing you are home. He has lifted
me up even when I have fallen, I have went the past year studing a lot and not
really understanding why, not knowing why I felt I could not study enough. But
now I do, now I know my Heavenly Father was preparing me for this battle, He
was teaching me how to lean on Him. And even though I dont have all the
answers, I know that I can not only go to Him for my own comfort and strength,
but I also know He will help me comfort others. These past 11 days have been
the worse days of my life. And it has left me very empty. But I trust my Father
to turn this tragic time into go, even though I can not understand how, I
BELIEVE He will. I know He loves me beyond my understanding. And I know He will
give me victory. I know He will comfort my pain and never leave me.
Dayton Tyler Beard Today was a wonderful day with your battle
family. Beautiful memorial service. Dinner. Then hockey. I am having a hard
time going on, "enjoying life" even though I know you would want us
to I just dont know how. I don't know how to move past loosing you. I know
through my Heavenly Father I will, I will see the light, my Father will heal my
pain. Honestly I feel guilty when I do, but I know that is just Satan trying to
defeat me. And I know as long as I lean on my Father, Satan will never
defeat me.
Jeremiah 8:18 NCV ~ God, you are my comfort when I am very sad and when I am afraid.

Well my sweet
baby, in 9 more days your suppose to be on another adventure to California for training - on my birthday. You we're so excited about this training mission.
And even though I was not thrilled about you going (being on my birthday) I
wish you were. I know its what you loved, wanted, and desired. You truly LOVED
being a soldier. You LOVED putting on that uniform everyday. You were so proud
to say you served with the US Army.
As days go by and I read more and more trying to understand why? Why me? Why my babies? Why my family? Why do I have to loose 2 of my babies? Why do I have to suffer this horrible pain twice? And God keeps telling me "Why not you? I have prepared you and I am with you." He has also told me Dayton Tyler Beard however has fought the good fight, and has finished the race, and has kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7.
I have also im my reading come across my artical that helped me understand instead of asking why to ask what?
** What do You want to do with this for the benefit of all affected by it and the benefit of others – not only the others who need comfort because of the experience, but those outside our circle of grief who need to know You more intimately?
**What do you want to do with this crisis, this pain, this experience that will give You glory and help fulfill your Kingdom purpose?
*** I believe God will take this tragic and turn it into a blessing.
*** I believe God will help me and give me strength to fight this battle within me.
*** I believe through this pain, and tragic event many lives will be saved, I know many have but I believe Dayton isn't done.
*** I believe God will take everything the Devil intends for bad and turn it into good.
*** I believe my Dayton is in heaven, and I didn't loose another son, I gained another guardian angel.
I want each and everyone of you to use this as a wakening call, we are not promised tomorrow, don't wait until "later" to give your life the The LORD. Don't wait until "after you have had fun", & DON'T WAIT until the "perfict time" to show someone you love them. DON'T WAIT. Use each and every second to show love to everyone. To Love everyone as Christ Loves us. That was one of many things my baby was really good at. Was it loved everyone. He was so full of "the love of Christ" that it flowed through him to everyone he was around.
