Dear Ed & Traci, We are so saddened to hear of the passing of your precious son Skylar. Seems like yesterday we were all bringing our kids to school or picking them up at Dutton Christian. We talked often Traci, a lot about our kids. Hold his memory close and know he will always be with you. We are praying hard God wraps his arms around your family during this sad time for now and the days to come. If you need anything, even an ear to listen to please reach out. Sending our love and condolences The Bosselaar Family

Dear Ed, Traci, Alexis and Crew,

My heart is saddened by the death of your dear son and brother, Skyler. I last saw him and spoke with him at Discount Tire when he filled my tires with air. We reconnected and I was glad to have that short time speaking with Skyler. Pam Zeitse and I did a shared time teaching assignment in 3rd grade at Dutton Christian School. Skyler was a rather quiet child, but he was very friendly, respectful, and cooperative in class with us and with his fellow students. Pam and I both enjoyed Skyler and loved him. He had a double dose of love because he had two teachers. We were both astonished and saddened when we heard the news of his death. It hit us hard to hear that dear Skyler died at the young age of 27. Pam and I talked and we grieve together with you, Ed and Traci, and with Alexis and Crew. Our hearts also go out to you, Alexis, also our beloved student. And Crew, we mourn with you also, although I missed the opportunity to have you as a student. I retired before Mrs. Zeitse, so I’m not sure if you had her as a teacher.

I pray that God will surround your family with His love, with His mercy, with His grace and with His peace. My husband Ned and I got to know you, Ed, when you helped us with plumbing in our Cascade house. You also came to our rescue when our daughter, Anna, had a serious plumbing issue in her house on Brownell Street in Cutlerville. We were thankful for your diligence in coming to our rescue. And Traci, both Pam and I had a close relationship with you because you were involved in service work at school. We got to see you often and have good conversations with you. Alexis, you were always a delight! Such a sweet little girl with big dreams. I loved that about you. I followed your success as a runner in high school! I also ran into you at the allergy office in Cascade. I admire your hard work and your position as a therapist (am I right)? I saw you as a happy, vibrant young woman who loved people and wanted to help them as well.

I will pray daily for each of you, asking God to comfort you.

With heartfelt sympathy and love,
Cathie Nielsen

Ed and Traci, our family is so, so sorry for your loss. Our hearts break for you. We are lifting you up to Jesus as you grieve, and we grieve with you.

Hugs to your family, remembering teaching Skyler in school, a sweet and kind hearted boy

I was one of Skyler’s third grade teachers. Pam Zeitse and I shared our third grade teaching position, so Skyler got twice a teacher’s love for a student we deeply cared for and loved. We also had Alexis in our class and we knew your family well. We spoke with you, Tracy, so often and treasured having your kids in our class.

I am broken-hearted about Skyler’s death. I will pray and pray that God will embrace you and cover you with his love, his mercy, his grace and his peace.

With sympathy and love for your family,
Cathie Nielsen
