Not sure what to say?

Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. Love and prayers to all of you!

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope.

Rebecca, I particularly remember your kindness and compassion when my daughter, Dawne, unexpectedly passed away in 1989, just four days before Christmas.

It was difficult, but I made it thru the Holidays with family, friends, and a couple Xanax. With God's help, I learned to honor her death by pledging to live the way she would have wanted. No drinking, no "why us", no angriness - but by showing the love...

My heart breaks with you all. I regret that I didnt know Dane but I know he had a wonderful family that loved him and will always remember him.

Dane was a shooting star: incredibly bright and thus necessarily short-lived, leaving a trail in the sky behind for all of us who remain.

"Well done, good and faithful servant." (Matthew 25:21)

Requiescat in pace.

I still remember that bright perky little boy sitting on my exam table and intently listening to what his mother and I had to discuss. I didn't realize how much I missed him and how much the rest of his family had enriched my life until I heard about his passing.

My deepest condolences to the LeClair Family from a Volleyball Family from Midlakes.
