Mr. Schenecker,
I heard about your son and daughter through People Magazine. It touched my heart. You, Beau, and Calyx are in my prayers. I being only 12, am scarred by the article I read last night. I have been thinking about it ever since. God Bless.

I know it's been a while since you've both been gone, but I hope you know that not a day passes without us thinking of
you. Even though we no longer cry all day long, you are still on our minds. We laugh at the
jokes you made, smile when we think of your beautiful faces. Your pictures are forever
etched in our minds. We have T-shirts and pictures and
bracelets and memories and
the thought that one day, we'll
see you both again. We love
and miss you. We will never
forget you. We remember the
way you lived and in that way,
you are still living on in our
hearts. You are at every soccer
game, every track meet, every
period at school. You were
strong, funny, amazing people
with so much potential and
even though there were so
much you hadn't done, your
lives aren't over. They are just
beginning up there as beautiful
angels in heaven. Once again,
we love and miss you. See you
again someday...
Love,
Jessica Thornton

It's been a while since we've seen you,
We wonder how you've been,
Even though it's getting easier,
We all can't wait to see you again.
Once we hear that laugh,
And once we see that smile,
We will all know,
That long wait was worthwhile.
We didn't say everything we needed to,
And know we are filled with regret,
You will live on in our hearts,
And we will never forget.

To Dad-as a parent there is no greater pain than the loss of a child. God is weeping with you. Hold fast to your faith and your loved ones. Treasure the friends who look in your eyes and do not flinch from your pain,who stay by your side knowing they can't fix this but they can walk with you. Release the unanswerable Whys and What Ifs.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

First, I just want to start off & say R.I.P. Beau & Calyx Beau Schenecker was a really good friend of mine. I have been friends with him for almost 3 years. I met him at Liberty Middle School in 6th grade, & the last day I saw him was 6th period; P.E. We have had the same P.E. class since 7th grade.
Beau was the sweetest & outgoing kid I've ever met. If someone was feeling down, Beau was over there in a heart beat.
When I first found out, I couldn't believe my little buddy Beau, was shot & killed.. I would have never known that would happen to him.
This first week of school without Beau, has been rough. His assigned seat in P.E. Before out Coach would take roll, was right behind me, & on Monday, I turned around to talk to him, like every other normal day, & he wasn't there... Seeing an empty seat behind me on the bleachers, just tore my heart away. I miss him sooo muccch! I wish that I had a fairy god-mother so I could bring him back to all of us. But unfortunately we can't do that. If it's hard for Beau & Calyx's friends' to go through this, I can't even imagine how hard it is for Parker. You're in my prayers. But just remember, God is watching over your sweet beautiful children.
In a loving memory of Calyx Shenecker & Beau Shenecker
I LOVE YOU SO FREAKING MUCH BEAU !!!!
Love Always, Abbbii. (:
