Jackson,
My dear friend, I am so devastated and confused about your passing. It was way too soon for you to go. I am going to miss you dearly. I know that we didn't see eachother very often but when we did it was like nothing changed and that is a true friendship. We spent many years together when we were younger and then through high school and there after, you were like a sister to me. I have so many great memories that will live on. I cant help to think about all of our good times and laughs that we had! Everytime I think about you and all of our good times I can't help but to smile. I wish I had a chance to tell you that I love you and how much of a great friend you were to me and everyone else. I'm sure you already knew this. Until we meet again my friend, I Love You Always and Forever.

Dear Kylie, When I learned of the sad news, my heart broke for you. You've been in my thoughts and prayers ever since. I didn't talk to your Mom very much except on Know Your School Night. I took the opportunity to let her know what a sweet, kind little girl you were, but she already knew all that. I told her she should be proud of you and she said that she was. I'm sorry that you're hurting so bad right now, honey, just don't forget, your mom loved you a lot and lots of people do, including me. Your friends here at Elm Park are praying for you and would do anything for you if you asked.
I'm so sorry Kylie,
Mrs. Paradis

Kylie,

I just wanted to tell you that all the kids here at the Elm Park Community School want you to know that we miss you and that we are really sad to hear about your mother. She was always a very nice person to me and I liked going over to your house. Please call me when you get a chance. I miss you.

Your friend, Imani

My Kerry,
You were the child I was unable to have. You let me attend the birth of Kylie. Your children, Kylie, Tyler and Chloe are as much my grandchildren as they are Kathy's. I will do my best to help and keep up your holiday traditions for the loves of your life. Your family knows they can count on me. I will always have you in my heart. I would trade places with you in a flash if there was a way for you to remain with your children.
I will love and miss you always

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.

When we first learned of the unfortunate death of Kerry, we were both shocked and dumbstruck. Our prayers and best wishes go to Eric and his children- we pray that a merciful God will deliver them for all anguish and pain; we pray that the blessings of almighty Providence will comfort them in this time of great sorrow and distress.

To Eric: know that you are thought of and remembered. We pray that you may find some strength to allow you to, in some way, carry on from this most awful situation. It is one thing to be strong, but it is quite another thing to be strong and mindful of the care of one's children- we pray that the hand of God will guide you in the future, and give you strength in this sorrowful time and in the years to come.
