Ron and Beth,

Alaina was a beautiful young woman and her story has touched my heart. I lost my nephew to a similar gun incident on Labor Day and although it's a tragic commonality, your family shares the emotions of hurt, anger, grief, and despair with our family. I pray that God grants us all the peace that passeth all understanding and I am planning on doing something positive in honor of Alaina and my nephew, Miles Lindberg Greeno, to prevent other families from experiencing the loss that we have. May God wrap His loving arms around you and continue to comfort you during this very difficult time. My family is praying for you all and I hope one day to correspond with your family because I feel a kinship with you all. My email address is [email protected]
I would really enjoy talking with you all because no one understands the extent of the hurt like we all do.
Here are a couple of links explaining Miles' story:

Ron and Beth,

I have never met you but my husband Ryan Fowler has. Even though i have never met alaina, just from the people around me i can tell she was a very loving and intelligent person. I can also most assuredly say she will be missed, and was loved during her time here with family and friends.

Ryan and his family during there time of grief have shared many stories with me about alaina. I know she will be deeply missed and we pray that god will keep you safe and may his love carry you thru this hard time.

May God Bless and Keep you.

Ron and Beth,

With Alaina and Danielle being the same age, I never suspected that this would be our first contact after Misawa, Japan. I have precious memories of being in your home(s) and your giftedness of hospitality was evident. We pray that God will carry you through this journey.

Ron & Beth,
As I wrote to you earlier, there are no words my friend to express my deepest condolences to all of you. I cannot begin to fathom the trials you are enduring at this moment. Please know that Maria and I continue to pray for you all. May God be with you.

Dear Ron, Beth, Jacob, & Kelsey,
We are praying for you all. May God give you all strength and comfort that is undescribable. Alaina was precious and beautiful in all ways. I just know that God greeted her with, "Well done, they great and faithful servant". You did a wonderful job raising her in the Lord and surely her rewards are great in heaven. To the little red head girl who made us laugh, we love you and will miss you.

Alaina was a very special person. Her strong and happy personality will be remebered by all who knew her. So beautiful, inside and out. She is an inspiration to me, so generous and sweet and I will miss her always.

Josh, Beasley and Moore Family,
I went to church with the Moores back a few years ago. Alaina was one of the first people I befriended while there. She was an amazing young woman and a good friend. She will be sorely missed. Josh - God has been burdening me to pray for you more than I can say. Rest, everyone, in the words of Jesus Christ "God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." Alaina still lives, but her life is now in heaven with the God she loved. She will return again one day when Christ comes with all His saints. Alaina - you will be missed my old friend.

Rachel

February 12, 2009

Alaina was my best friend. She was such a beautiful girl inside and out. She taught me so much. She lived life to its fullest. She is very missed and will never be forgotten. I can't wait to spend eternity with her! Ron, Beth, and Josh, I'm praying for you and I love you!

Holly Byers

February 9, 2009

I never met you, Alaina, but I wish I had. I remember seeing you and Josh together at the 2006 graduation (I graduated with him). Reading the other notes, I can tell that you were a wonderful person. You were so sweet that I think God wanted you to take a place among His angels, praising him with endless song! I'm crying with everybody else down here, but as a consolation, I know that you and Josh and all your family and friends will be reunited in heaven someday :)

Joy Holmes

February 9, 2009

I remember having an early morning conversation with Alaina while in England, in that cozy farmhouse around the huge warm Aga. Her wisdom and discernment, her joyous attitude, her ability to cut to the pith of the matter, were impressive even as a young teen. What an honor it is to know her and love her.

We do not grieve like those with no hope. I eagerly await the day when we all will be rejoined with Christ.

Louie and Sharon Thernes

February 8, 2009

You would not know us Josh, but your Grandmother, Ann, and I were cousins. She was a wonderful Christian woman and passed that on to your mother.
We went to Immanuel Lutheran Church of Hooper NE to see your family share your message of God's love through music. What a wonderful family filled with the heart of God.
To know you are going through such a tragedy is hard to understand. God allows bad things to happen in our lives, but He also promises to be with us in the fires of life. Know that God is carrying you now as in "Footprints in the Sand". Countless people are praying for you and your family. May the Peace of God which passes all understanding be with you now and always.

Joshua, Moores and Beasleys,

You do not know us, we know of you through the Shudak's and Browns, as we are fellow homeschoolers. We want you to know our family has been praying diligently for all of you during this time of tragic loss. Our prayers are that God, our Father, comfort you as only He can, that you remember not only that Alaina is now in the presence of our Heavenly Father, but that you will also be with her again so very soon.

Remember that the pain of loss is so great only because you have loved so deeply... and that is the price of great love.

We pray especially for you, Joshua, that you know in the depths of your heart that God allowed this to happen for some purpose beyond our understanding. We will never know the "Why's" in this life, but we know the "Who." As you walk through these difficult days ahead, trust in God, "He will never leave you, nor forsake you." Deut. 31:6 We are praying for miraculous things to happen regarding the charges you now face and pray you see God's great love and faithfulness evidenced to you, by the testimony of many that you do not know... that you are on their hearts and in their prayers.

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze." Isa 43:2

In Christ,

Denise Sasek

We were regular customers of Alaina's at Starbucks in Papillion. We always enjoyed the few minutes of conversation with her each time we were there. She was a very sweet and beautiful young woman. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.

Psalm 91:1-4
"He that dwelleth in the secret places of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my Refuge and my Fortress: my God; in Him will I trust. Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler."
May the Prince of Peace be with you all in a special, intimate way. May our Almighty God be your source of strength. Our prayers are with you. Remember that this life is only temporary, but the life to come (which Alaina has beat us to) is forever. Praise God that we have this hope! I Thessalonians 4:13-18

I was Blessed to have known Alaina as a co-worker of my daughter, and a wonderful associate at Starbucks in Papillion. Your family is in our thoughts, and we all who have met her were blessed by such an angel. I will miss Alaina, but pray I never forget her wonderful smile and positive energy. Alaina's life is an inspiration to all who crossed her path. God Bless.

Clark

February 5, 2009

Dear Moores,
I am yet another witness to the story. I think it is of an awful tragedy to have a angel like Alaina taken in such a tragic way. I pray that your family keeps in mind that she is still with you. And justice to why and how will be served. The Lord is kind and merciful.

We do know you but we are very sorry for your loss. Prayers go out to you.

February 5, 2009

I was a customer of Alaina's at the Papillion Target Starbucks and she was such a joy. My daughter is also an "Alaina" so they always shared a special moment and she always remembered me as Alaina's mom and asked about her school and activities. I pray that God's grace and peace comforts you in this very trying time.

Laurie Madden

February 5, 2009

To the Moore and Beasely families,
My heart is breaking at the loss of Alaina. She was a very special young lady who touched my heart the first time I met her. She will be greatly missed by all who loved her. Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers during this very sad time.

Josh and families,
Yet another strager signing in here. It sounds to me that anyone who had the pleasure of meeting Alaina was blessed for knowing her! May you find strength in each other while your grief becomes mourning and your mourning becomes healing. Always keep your relationship with her alive in your hearts.

Susan

February 5, 2009

you do not know me, and I can only imagine how difficult today has been for you. I have been praying for all of you this afternoon while I sewed. I will continue to lift you all up in prayer, asking the Savior to comfort you, with a peace that passes ALL understanding.
Lean on Him.

Cindy Hoehne

Alaina was a very genuine caring person who always had a smile on her face. I have had the pleasure of working with her at Starbucks and her personality was resounding to say the least. She definitely kept us all in line and on our toes with all her information. Always positive reminding us all to smile and be friendly was her way. May she continue to smile down on each one of us as she celebrates her life eternally with Christ. She will be missed by all who knew her in any way. Peace be to all of her family members and the Grace of God be with you all.

Dear Josh, the Beasley and Moore families,
Our thoughts and prayers have been with you everysince we heard of your loss.
We had met Alaina at a graduation party last summer and just in those few minutes we saw Christ's love, compassion, peace and happiness radiating from her to everyone she met.
God's love and strength will sustain you through this difficult time. He will also use this for his glory and a witness to all those you come in contact with in the days ahead.
In Christian love, Doug and Sharon Stone

We were stationed in England when we met Alaina. My children have shared special memories of her...such as,when we were at homeschool bowling, she taught my son how she bowled and now he bowls the exact same way! You never know how your life is impacting another.Her kindness and caring helped us transition into homeschooling. We are very thankful that we got to share in a small part of her life.
Our thougths and prayers are with you all.

February 4, 2009

My prayers are with Josh and the families. I heard about the situation through a mutual friend, and what a tragedy. God be with you, Josh. " I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears." Psalm 18:1-6.

I worked with Alaina and I'll never forget how if she saw me walking over going over to Starbucks, she would see me and by the time I got there my Strawberry Lemonade would be ready. She was a beautiful and genuine person.
My prayers go out to her family

I worked closely with Alaina for about two years at Target. She was hired two months before I was, and I was instantly fond of her. She was the first person I befriended. It's been hard these past few days to go into work and not think about her as my memories of her are in everything i saw there. What I want to say is that she has had a large impact on my life. I saw in her all the qualities I had always wanted myself. If i could describe her in one word, it would be 'Vivacious.' She was a warm radiant ray of sunshine when the rest of us were tired and crabby. I'll miss her positivity and her kindness. She has done so much for me, and I'm sad that I'll never get to repay her for it all. Despite my mourning, I'm more than pleased to see this outpouring of love for her in people all over the community. She completely deserves it. I thank you all for it.

February 4, 2009

I also am a stranger to this family, but have been praying for all involved. Your faith has been evident in the stories and guest book entries. Praise God that you are faithful people who have the Lord to help them through this difficult time.

In the movie, “Hope Floats”, the matriarch of the family, Ramona, tells her grand daughter that families were invented so that ‘hopeless’ never gets the last word. During the days and weeks and months to come, when loss and grief invade and hopelessness tries to sneak in, hold each other up and remember that families were invented to keep hopeless from having the last word, because the last word should always be LOVE!

Josh & Families - We are broken hearted over your loss. We're praying for you. We love you.

February 4, 2009

My deepest sympathies go out to Alaina's family. Alaina was often my barista at Starbucks in the SuperTarget in Papillion. She was such a beautiful, sweet, gentle soul with a smile always on her face. I stopped by a couple of days before her last day at SuperTarget to wish her luck in her marriage and move to Lincoln; we spoke about the cruise she was going on for their honeymoon, she was so excited and happy.
May God give you strength and comfort all of you.

Lauren Ohlsen

February 4, 2009

You couldn't help but smile whenever Alaina walked into a room. I only got to know Alaina the last few months she worked with us in Papillion, but I could tell she was full of life, full of love, and strong in her faith. Alaina will truly be missed by all.

Josh, I never met you, but my thoughts and prayers are with you...

Linda Betkie

February 4, 2009

Dear Josh and families - While we were never privileged to meet Alaina, our hearts are heavy with your loss. Josh and Alaina had more happiness in the short time they were together than many couples have their whole lifetime. Cherish those memories, not the horrific accident. Our God is a loving God, we pray that he continues to hold all of you close during this difficult time.

To the families who lost their loved one; I did not know Alaina very well, but i did work with her at Super Target and talk to her a couple times. I consider myself lucky for getting the chance to know what little bit i did. She is a great girl. Every time i seen her walking around she always had a georgeous smile on her face and as happy as can be.! I wish i could have taken more time to get to know her better. She will be missed greatly by many people. My prayers are with both families and her husband also. May God Bless all of you. Im so sorry about your loss.

Susan Lowe

February 4, 2009

I only knew Alaina for a few short days when we were both at my niece's wedding a few years back in Arkansas. But it felt like I'd known her forever. Such a sweet girl, sweet smile, sweet spirit. Those who know and love her are grieving, but as the Bible says, not like those who have no hope. The angels in Heaven surely welcomed her home with wide open arms. My thoughts and prayers are with you all

I don't know you personally, but this story touched me deeply. I cannot fathom what you must be feeling at this time, but know that God is faithful and will provide strengh, comfort and peace in even the most difficult times. Alaina seems like a beautiful, Godly woman. Cherish the memories you have of her and the relationship you shared. Rest peacefully knowing that even as she proclaimed the Lord's name here on earth, so is she now proclaiming His name, in Eternal Glory, sitting at Jesus's feet. We have been praying and will continue to pray as your family walks through this dark valley. May God be with you.

I just wanted to tell you what an impact Alaina had on me. I meet her when she started at Starbucks in Lincoln and I was a customer there. Within a day or two she knew my name, my drink and made me laugh and smile everytime I went to the store. I am a one to two a day Starbucks drinker and I looked forward to going in and seeing her on most days. I always left with a smile on my face and just good thoughts. I will never forget the ability she had of doing that to me and I will never forget her even though I only knew her a short time and in such a casual way. My thoughts, prayers and sympathy is with all who are struggling with this loss, just remember that she would want everyone to put a smile on their face just like she did all the time.
Thank you for giving me the pleasure and the privledge of meeting you Alaina.

First off, my prayers and thoughts go out to Alaina's family, friends, and husband. I never met you all, but I did get the pleasure of meeting Alaina. We used to work together at Target. I worked security, and she was at Starbucks. I guess how we met isn't important, but what is is that she touched my life. We would talk and she amazed me with her beliefs, and her convictions. We debated about life, and religion. I'll never forget how righteous she is. I was proud to know her because she was a great friend to me and always pointed me in the right direction when I was down in a hole. It takes a person like her to inspire someone like myself to have faith in life and in God. I know she's safe in heaven, kept in our hearts, and on our minds. I hope to see her again someday in the kingdom of Heaven.

Kyle Gamble

Alaina was the student trainer for our volleyball team at Iowa Western last year. She was an amazing person and took care of all the girls. Alaina kept me company and focused on school during all the travel. She was a pleasure to be around and will be greatly missed. I will never forget all she did for us. Thoughts and prayers.

I worked at Target with Alaina. She would always make me smile. Everytime I had a stressful time at work I would just walk over to her at Starbucks and would immediately feel better just seeing her smile. She was so kind and caring of other people's feeling. She will always be in my heart.

Jon and Shelley Iverson

Dear Moore's,
Our heart is breaking for you. I (Shelley) met Alaina only one time but that meeting impressed me greatly and positively affected my walk with my daughter.
Our pray is that the warm love of Jesus surrounds you now and His holy peace provides comfort to you and that your family will stay in the palm of our Lord's gentle hands. We are praying for you.

I loved Alaina and enjoyed her family so much during our time with the Road Runner's Basketball team.

Though we did not know the Beasley family as well as we would have liked, I know they are a strong, loving family and I wish them well.

I am so sorry for the loss and will pray that God will lift you up and help you all to bear the grief.

Josh, I am a stranger and read what happen. I too have children your age and can not imagine what you are going through. There are no words that will ease your pain, just remember you are not alone in this. You have lots of friends, family and even strangers out there praying for you every moment. Please remember, this was an accident and everyone is here to support you. Trust in God to help you when you need him the most. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

Josh, keep the Lord uppermost in your thoughts. You know He will support & give you the strength you need. You have the wonderful support of your immediate family & grandparents & relatives. I only met Alaina once at the last Thompson Reunion in May. I didn't get the chance other than take a picture of you two. Your time together was short, but full of memories. Our prayers are with you.

Linda and I will continue to offer prayer for your family. Words cannot express the sorrow in your heart at this time. I know Alaina brought joy and happiness into the world. Ron spoke often of Alaina and Joshua and the love they had for each other. She is at peace with the Lord.

We met Alaina and her family almost five years ago. She was the girl who could walk in a room and her presence and smile lit it up the room. She was always full of fun. We will miss her so much!
To the Moore family and Josh....we love you and are praying for you!

So very tragic! I'm praying for Josh and the Families! Just know that Alaina is an angel now looking over you all!

Josh - I'm sorry for your loss. Praise the Lord for her salvation. For all those that sincerely believe on Jesus Christ, To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord! The Lord will help you get through this valley too.

Although I am a stranger to all, the story in the newspaper tore at my heartstrings. Please accept my sympathies on your tragic loss.

I just recently got to know Alaina as a customer of hers at Starbucks in Super Target. She was so friendly and genuinely nice. I looked forward to our morning chats.

She had a smile and a personality that made it evident that the light of Jesus was shining through her. My heart and prayers go out to all of the family. Death is never easy and it is more difficult when it gets out of order.

Jesus be with all of you.

Josh,

I never met Alaina, but I work with her father Ron. Words are not adequate in this situation. But there is the hope of the resurrection that the Apostle Paul so elequantly proclaimed to the Gentiles in Acts Chapter 17. Further, my family and I prayed for you and your extended family, and we will continue to do so.

May God sustain you.

We were stationed with the Moore family years ago in Japan and have watched Alaina grow up into a beautiful young woman and a strong Christian. It was a joy to know her and an honor to officiate at her wedding a few months ago. Our love and prayers go out to her husband and her family.

Joshua; Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. May God's grace & peace be with you, your family and Alaina's family. You are not alone.
