A message for Jean & James,

This week I had a dream that I was back in America in the early 1990s and I was asked to babysit Quinn and James. We were sat on the front porch at Abingdon making a 'mixtape' for Jean, as we used to do. It prompted me to go onto Facebook to see if I could find any of you. It was then that I read about your loss 5 years ago.

I am so so sorry to have not been in touch over the years and so deeply upset to hear of Quinn's passing. There...

Dear Jean, my friend..he is gone too soon. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, Whittney and little Stella. I know she misses her Daddy. May God grant you all peace at this time of such great loss.

Whittney, I was one of Stella's teachers at the daycare. She was one of my favorite kids. I am so sorry for your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Whitney, Wanda and I are so sorry for the loss of your husband. We will try to help you anyway we can with your townhouse. Greg and Wanda Wade

Jean - I am so sorry that you have lost your son. Rees and I are thinking of you.

I am very sorry to hear about it. I am a teaching assistant of one class he took this semester. And we contacted a lot after class. He is a very kind and nice person. I am new to this country. He offered me lots of help to adjust to the new circumstance. And I'll keep you in my thought and prayer.

I am very sorry to hear about Quinn's passing. I was one of his professors this semester at Virginia Tech. Quinn was a very courteous and dedicated student.

My deepest sympathy to his family and friends. May God bless them in such difficult times.

Jean, I was so sad to hear the news of your son's death. I know that you were very proud of him and what he was accomplishing. I will keep you and the rest of your family in my thoughts and prayers.
