Toddy was such a great kid with SO MUCH potential. We are stunned at the loss of a wonderful son, grandson, brother, and friend. This life is full of unanswered questions and this will probably remain one of those. Tirsh and Todd- Our prayers are with you and your families. And within yourselves at this time of sorrow, try to find strength for your Toddy's borhter and sisters. Always.

I went to school with Todd and we used to mess around in class all the time. We would have fake arguments and laugh ...... which lead to gettin in trouble with the teacher a lot. He was a good kid, i liked him so much and he will never be forgotten.
He will live on in the lives of whom he touched.
I am sorry for the loss and you are in my prayers,

May God comfort you in your grieving time. May He show you His love during this time. Know this tragedy is not of God, but He can bring a peace to you if you will allow Him to. Also know your family is in the prayers of many! Sorry for the loss of such a precious boy.

My heart was burdened as I read of your great and indescribable loss. Just looking at Todd's picture reminds me, in a way, of my own son, and your loss really hit home with me. Please know that from another mom, my heart aches for you and the rest of your family. We are promised that if we call out to and lean fully on God, He will carry us through any trial in life that we face. I will be praying for you that you will feel a peace that passes understanding in a situation that also passes all understanding.

To the St. Cerny Family -
Even though I did not know Todd, I read of your tragic loss. Although you may feel a deep sorry that is not going to be easily dispelled, the God of comfort willhelp you through this time of sadness. "He is healing the brokenhearted ones, and is binding up their painful spots." - Psalms 147:3.
May the loving memories of Todd engulf your hearts and minds and keep you moving forward.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.
