Leslie, Scott and family,
Susan and I were so sorry to hear about your loss. Words cannot begin to describe the void in your life. Susan and I lost our son, who was 21, 20 years ago, and sometimes it seems like yesterday.
You can keep going, it is just harder and different.
Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you. (I grew up in Mathews with Joe and Beverly).

Mr. And Mrs. Armstrong,
My therapy dog, Stewie, a Maltese, and I were privileged to meet Tucker when we visited the ASK clinic. I'll always remember the day we first met Tucker. Stewie was going to show Tucker how he could "play" the piano, and Tucker joined right in. It brought a smile to my face. I just wanted you to know that we will cherish this fond memory of Tucker, and we are so sorry for your loss.

Dear Scott and Leslie, We don't know each very well but i have followed Tucker's story very closly, i had left you both a long entry a awhile back on caring bridge,my son was conflicted with the same type of cancer that Tucker was faced with and is now 18, and my hope and all my prayers were not answered last Friday and I know that there are few words if any right now to fill the void in your lives. But please just know in your souls that he is now the sunshine and the waves that crash on the beach every moment of every day. I will be on the beach on Saturday during his service and I will feel him in every wave. I know I never got to meet him but I would have done anything for the ending of your story to be written differently. Please find strength in each other and in all the support you are getting, time will heal this wound and i wish there were something that could be done or something that could be said to make all your pain go away, but we know there isn't. Please accept my deepest sympathy in what has to be an unimaginable time of grief. Brian Ritter 4-28-10 Peace and rest for you both, and your beautiful boy.

Dear Leslie, Scott, Joe,Bev and family,
There are just no adequate words to say for the loss of a precious young life. Leslie I am not sure if you are even aware how your writing your journal through this ordeal has touched so many people. You, Scott and Tucker have been a inspiration to so many people. It truely has been a ministry of sorts. Tucker has touched so many lives in his short life.He was so brave as he endured things that would make most people complain. I know he is Heaven with Our Lord and Savior never again having to endure pain or suffering..Hoping you all feel the love of your communities that have been praying for you all..God Bless You all!

Dear Leslie and Scott,
While we do not know you personally, we have kept up with Tucker through mutual friends and we were so very sorry to hear of his passing last week. It is so hard to find the right words to say because I'm sure at this time there isn't anything that can take away the pain you are feeling. My prayer for you is that you will feel the love and comfort of your family, friends and even strangers and that you will get strength from them to get through these difficult days. More importantly, I pray that you will feel God's presence and that you will find peace knowing that little Tucker is walking hand in hand with Jesus, playing superheroes with the greatest hero of all and feeling absolutely no pain.
May God bless you now and in the many days ahead.

Dear Leslie and Scott,
Most spend 80 years of eternity on earth, Tuck unfortunatly did not. Jesus explains through the Apostle Paul's epistle Romans 8:18 that Tuck just beat us to glory. We're happy for Tuck's eternity and sadden with the temporary separation for all who loves him. May the Lord be with the Armstrong Family forever.

Dear Leslie: I am so sorry to hear of your loss,I too lost my son Micah Royall on September 6. It is the hardest most difficult thing I have ever had to endure. The hurt and hole in your heart will never fade, everyday you will wake with special memories of him. My best advice is to find a support group with people who like you have lost a child for you to join. That has been one of the best things I have done because I know those people know exactly how I feel. I will keep you in my prayers and feel free to contact me at any time.

Love is the strongest power in the universe.
