Dear Cathy and family,

We could never have picked a better son-in-law. His love for the Lord was evident in all parts of his life. As a missionary, he was exemplary and "came out of his shell" to serve the Lord. As a husband and father, he worked hard and followed the teachings of the gospel. We will miss him dearly "til we meet again". Mom & Dennis

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Even though we only knew Adam for a short time we grew to love him. His love of his savior and family were always apparent in his

life walk. We pray that Our Heavenly

father will continue to give you peace as you go through this time. Just know that you have been and will continue to be in our prayers.

We love you.

My Dear Cathy

I am heart sick for you and your boys. I cannot imagine what you are going through. Adam was so young and so loving . We thought so much of him and he was so good with Cory. Not many men would take a child and be the father that he was . I wish you Gods comfort in the days to come and His protection over you and the boys and that He will help you with the decisions and choices you make. Our hearts will be with you tomorrow. Just know we all love you so very much.

Cathy, Kory, and Aiden;

My thoughts and prayers have been sent out for you all many times over the past few days. It is hard to know how to comfort you or help you from so far away. But, know that I love you all. Know that our Saviour loves you all. He will be there as you comforter, rely on him. Turn to him for peace as you struggle with this tragic loss. Adam lives on, in our memories full of laughter and joy.

He was a good a faithful servant of our Father in Heaven, and is in his care now. I LOVE YOU CATHY, call when you need to. No hour is too late. May you and the kids be blessed. Love you Aunt Barbie and family.

DEAR CATHY,SHERMAN, PAULA AND FAMILY

THIS HAS TAKEN THE WIND OUT OF US BUT HAS GIVEN US THE TIME TO REFLECT ON OUR LOVE FOR ADAM. HAVING ADAM HERE AS A MISSIONARY WAS SUCH A BLESSING BUT THE TRUE BLESSING WAS HAVING HIM MOVE TO OUR HOME AFTER HIS MISSION AND BECOME OUR " ADOPTED" SON. WE LOVE HIM AS THOUGH

HE IS TRULY OUR SON. YOU RAISED SUCH A WONDERFUL BOY WHO TRULY LOVES THE LORD. CATHY DON'T EVER FORGET HOW MUCH HE LOVES YOU AND THAT HE WILL BE WITH OUR HEAVENLY FATHER WAITING FOR YOU AND THE BOYS. ADAM TOUCHED SO MANY LIVES FOR GOOD AND I MYSELF BECAME A BETTER/STRONGER PERSON HAVING HAD THE TIME WITH HIM THAT I DID. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHAING HIM WITH OUR FAMILY. OUR LOVE AND PRAYERS AS ALWAYS ARE WITH YOU. LOVE AUNT DONNA AND UNCLE DAVID
