Carolyn posted the note in the Facebook group, Town of Plainfield Chatter, thanking Tyler's mom.

"Dear Toni.. you know who you are and I want to express how moved I am. This means so much that my husband and I cried together. With the turmoil of things going on it reminds us of what really matters LIFE!" she wrote.
