Our prayers go out to the whole Mann family!! Just know that your community is here for you Brianna, Gage, and Addison!!! My Nicolas loves Gage and told me every day I just want to hug him and tell him, I will share my daddy it won't be the same but I will share!! Out of the mouth of babes!! So wrong for little ones to have to understand that live is so precious to embrace every day!! Nic awaits Gage's return to school!! Please us know if you need anything!! God bless all!! Your angel is watching over you!!!

I have had nothing but a heavy heart since hearing of this tragedy. I went to High School with Ian, and remember that he was always smiling, and was always a good friend to so many. I will continue to pray for your family, Ian, and hope that in this time, they are comforted knowing that they were able to have had you in their lives.
