I’m so sorry it’s been so long since you left this world. I remember coming to VA and seeing you while you were staying with your aunt Dawn. You were always such a nice young man.

Adam...
Wow, one year already. Pictures of us and the family hang on my bedroom wall; I sometimes look at them when I miss you. It brings back lots of memories and emotions. You taught me many things and those things have made the person who I am today. Tomorrow I won't be filled with pain or sorrow but rather happiness, celebrating the years that you were here with us, and because I know you're probably looking down at us thinking we're all a bunch of babies. :) We miss you and love you.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Adam, although I was a "long distance uncle", I will cherish the times we did get together. We will miss you, but we'll always remember your easy way and kind smile. It has been nearly a year since you left and the emptiness is eased by the memories we'll share with all who knew you.
Journey well, Uncle Dann & Aunt Michelle

To The Family of Adam,
May the God of hope give you peace for your soul, rest for your heart, and a deep sense of comfort during this difficult time. God blessed me with the pleasure of teaching Adam math and science in the sixth grade at Liberty Middle School . He had such a wonderful and gentle spirit. Adam was very studious and he was a model student. I can still see those bright curious eyes and that quiet smile. My prayers are with you all.
