YOU SAVED MY LITTLE BOY!  / Jakelyne Foro (none)
Thank you for sharing your story with the world. My husband and I have be bickering over which carseat was best for my two and a half year. My husband was all for having Gordi on a booster seat. I wanted him in the five point harness but my husband kept saying that Gordi is too big for it and that he weighs over the weight limit of 40 lbs. What niether of us knew was that a five point harness has to be latched on the back as an extra security. I just wanted to tell you that because of your bravery and care, my little boy will not be in a booster seat until after he's 80 lbs and meets the rest of the requirements. Thank you! You have saved my little boys life! May God Bless you to the fullest, and bring your family protection always! Thank  you for sharing your story, your son's passing will never be in vein! -- Jakie and Nick Foro Close

Another child saved!!  / Kristin Heinzen-Rivet (friend in christ )

First off, I want to say I am so sorry for the loss of Kyle!  I can't image the feelings that you and your family have had to go thru.
He sounds like a very special boy and now they are truely enjoying him in heaven.
My daughter was 6 in March and only weighs 35#.  I have the Husky or Regent now, but figured she was getting to old so I took her out and put her in a booster with a back that seatbelted around her.
I really was uneasy with it, but continued to do it.  
Then today my girlfriend called me, and her daugher is 5, weighing 32# also sitting in the same booster my daughter is in.  She said her friend said that they should be in 5-point harness till they are at least 40#.
Well, it started to make me really think so I got on line and some how, I found your story under the "Britax Regent"  section.
Needless to say, my Husky or now Regent, is back in the car and my girlfriend is looking into buying her daughter one.
Thank you for your story, which I know is painful but we are all so thankful that you are spreading the news and saving other children so we don't have to feel your pain.
God Bless you, you are an amazing woman!
Kris

So sorry for your loss  / Darla Dufault
My heart goes out to Kyle's family for the loss of such a precious little boy at such a tender age. I shed tears when i watched the video and must tell you that i would have done the same thing, using a booster seat with the seat belt, so it is very important for you to realize as parents that it is not your fault. I share in your heartache as i lost my 22 month old son Jesse when he unlocked the backdoor and got out of the house and drowned in our pond in 2004. Even though the pain never truly goes away, i want you to know that you will smile again and looking into your daughter's eyes will comfort you and help you through life. Making others aware so they don't lose a child is a wonderful thing. Take pride in knowing you have saved lives already. Kyle is a beautiful little boy and when you feel the warmth on your skin from the sun shining down and the breeze on your face, it is him saying "I'm right here Mom and Dad and I'm just fine!" 

Sincerely,
Darla Dufault Close

A Child Saved  / Leigh Ann Hewitt
I would like your family to know that Kyle is an angel looking down on us, I truly belive that.  And thank you for making this movie to save a child.  I received this movie that you made of Kyle in Feb. 07 from a friend of mine that has no children it was sent to her by a friend that also has no kids.  I also must say that the day before I got the video I made the 5 point car seat into the booster for my son, when I talked to my friend and she told me about how she got the movie I got chills.  so needless to say my son has been in that 5 point harness from then to 2 days ago.  My son was about to turn 4 on Feb. 11 I watched this movie and just cried my eyes out I have watched the movies about 2 or 3 more times and cry every time.  I got onto the web site that you susgested and purchased it on Feb 19, 2007 for $229 I just received it 2 days ago.  Some people say isn't that alot of money to spend on a car seat and I said yes but my son is worth every bit of it, I can keep working to pay it off but I can never get my son back.  Because I have an older car it can only be fastened in with the lap belt in the center of my back seat, but it is better than just a seat belt holding him and the booster seat in.  Now my only fear is when he goes with his father he wont be safe because he only has a booster seat.

God Bless,

Leigh Ann & Jaden Close

To kyle's parents  / Jack Dressler (None)
No parent should ever have to go through losing a child.   I look at Kyle and he reminds me of my 5 year old son.  I can see in his eyes that he was loved dearly.   I have and will continue to pray that the pain you are going through will subside.   Close

squeaky wheel  / Denice From NY (friend in Christ )
Hello Kyle and family!  Just wanted to let you know that I have been a very busy "squeaky wheel" here in New York!  Things are happening, oh yes they are, and all because of you little buddy!! Your little angel is so strong Miller family! He has got to have his sweet little hands in all of this, guiding me and the people involved around me, for I would never have known which way to turn day by day concerning all these car seat safety issues.  In the big spectrum, I guess these things may seem minor to some, but big mountains are moved one mound of dirt at a time right?!  God bless you all and Kyle thank you and thank God for showing me that I can make a difference!  All my love, Denice Close

I think of Kyle daily  / Marcy
I have written here once before a long time ago when I first saw this site and Kyle's video. I still to this day think of Kyle and your family every single day. I truly feel like you have changed so much in my life. I think about Kyle when my son is being cute. I think about how much I love him and how much you must miss Kyle being cute. I think about Kyle when my son is misbehaving. When he is really making me mad I think of how much you wish you could have Kyle here even if he is misbehaving. I think about Kyle when my sons are playing together. I know Katie must really miss Kyle. I can tell from your pictures that they truly were best friends. I just get so sad thinking that they will not grow up together. I hope Katie remembers Kyle well from all of the pictures. The other day I was in the doctors office and I heard "Far Away". Tears just came down my face. I feel so much sadness for you guys. I know you have to be strong since you have other children, but I know you must feel so much pain still everyday, and forever. Just know that one day you will see Kyle again and he will have that same smile that you remember him having. I know you don't know anyone who posts these tributes, but just know that thousands of people think about you every day because we feel like we knew Kyle. Close

Just wanted to say  / Kristen Layton
Im sure you already know how many kids lifes you have saved.  Thank you so much for sharing your story.  It so great that you can share your tragety with the world and make so many more children safe.  I am truley sorry for your loss but thank you again for taking the time to help others through your loss.

Another 17 children safer on the roads thanks to you Kyle  / Laura Bower (Kyle David Miller Foundation )
Kyle,

Another great day for the foundation as 17 more seats leave us for various destinations across the USA to new homes and families who will cherish them, as they will you.

Thank you sweet man and send us your help for all the children we have waiting for seats.

In love and memory,

I have felt your pain  / Jennifer Owenburg
I just read your story and can say I know how you feel. I lost my daughter Avery in an auto accident July 11, 2006 when a driver under the influence ran a red light. She was only 8 months old. She was in her car seat with a five point harness which was attatched to the latch system. Unfortunately we were hit from the side at 50 to 55mph with the impact directly at her door. She suffered a blood clot on the brain that surgery could not help. We too have been comforted in that we will be with her again someday and know she is always with us.
It truley is wonderful what you are doing, educating others. My son Brayden who is turning five in May is currently in the same type of car seat I see Kyle was in and now has made me decide to look into the regent. God Bless you and your family!!! Close

Ditto / Angela -. Nate And Maddies Mommy
Denise from NY....I could not have said it better myself!!!! It truly warms my heart to see that there are others who have been so deeply touched by Kyle although we never knew him. 

I will also continue to pray for the Miller family that they might find peace and comfort until the day they are reunited with their beautiful little angel in heaven.

God bless you little Kyle and your family for what they do in your name!!  My kids are safer because of you =)

More safe children thanks to you Kyle....  / Laura Bower (Kyle David Miller Foundation )
Kyle,

I wanted to send you my thanks to you as I prepare to send another 35 car seats out to various locations across the United States which will help keep children safe on the roads.  It's amazing to see the difference that you have made to our lives and the lives of so many families.  

You made the ultimate sacrifice to bring attention to car seat safety and to help so many families keep their little ones safe, hug them a little tighter and give them that extra kiss and "I love you!"   I wish you were here so that I could tell you directly that I love you so much little guy.  I can see your purpose each day through the work of the foundation, but it hurts too that you are not with us here right now.

Help us to get some more funding for the foundation so that we can continue to help these little children who are in danger today.  We are trying very hard, but I know with your help, we will be more successful.

Have a fun day with the animals and send us some sunshine here!

With love as always,

LB

Dear Miller Family,

I am guessing that this time of year must be especially tough for all of you, although you must miss Kyle every day, all year round.  Please know that my heart aches for all of you as much today as it did when I first learned of Kyle's death. At the same time my faith has been strengthened by his story because I see all the good that you all are doing to keep other children safe. Surely Kyle must be giving you strength, guidance, and sending you  his strong life force, with God's help, in order to help you do great things in his name and to also be able to see the joy and beauty in the world despite the great loss you have suffered with him being taken away from you. Your loss still brings tears to my eyes and pain to my heart. I must have watched Kyle's Youtube video a hundred times and I still cannot believe that the little guy is gone. I never met Kyle or any of you, but I feel I know you in my heart. One day maybe I will have the pleasure and honor of meeting you, but even if I don't I will always keep you in my thoughts and prayers as if you were part of my own family. As for Kyle, if the Lord sees me fit for Heaven when my time comes, I just hope that I can catch Kyle's attention just for a moment or two so that I can see his beautiful smile and shining eyes up close in person...perhaps he'd even let me snatch a little hug. 

I am still planning on attending the courses I signed up for to become a CPST this summer; I am so looking forward to making a difference concerning child safety in Kyle's name. I will be thinking of him throughout the duration of the classes I am sure. I plan on wearing my wristband with Kyle's name on it every day during the sessions and I plan on spreading Kyle's story to anyone who will listen.

God bless you Christine, Kevin, Katie, and little Koben...may your tomorrows grow brighter and your hearts feel lighter with time. Kyle is in the most loving caregiver's hands now, he is well taken care of, of that I am certain. 

Sincerely, Denice Close

My heart aches for you....  / Heather White
I came across your video in searching for my friend as she was trying to decide to stay with a five point or go to a booster. I think the decision is now an easy one to make. I know you must ache every day when you think of him and I think you are doing a wonderful service in teaching the rest of us it is just better to be safe, no matter what.

YOU SAVED MY CHILDRENS LIVES  / AMY CHRISTAL

Angel / Anastasia C. (None)
Alex was the ring bearer today for his uncle's wedding. It was a nervewracking day for me--my sister was to take Alex home while my husband and I stayed at the reception. That meant that my husband had to take Alex's car seat out of our car and install it into my sister's.

We had studied the car seat manual, and my husband had even practiced installing the seat, but it still made me nervous--not only was it a different car, but we wouldn't be there. I was so pre-occupied with the possibility of something awful happening.

On the drive to the wedding, I turned on the radio and "Far Away" came on (the song from the YouTube video). In that instant, I honestly and truly felt that was Kyle's way of telling me he was watching us, protecting us, and telling us that everything would turn out fine. I cried as I listened to the song and finally exhaled, knowing that our son would be safe today.

Thank you, sweet angel. You continue to touch and guide our lives, every day. Close
