Not sure what to say?

Amy- You do not know me, but we have alot of friends in common. My heart has broke this week, for them as well as you, as they remember times with you and your kids. I pray that these friends and God will help you find the strength needed as time passes.

I didn't know your family but just to let you know that our thougths are with you I can't find the words to let you know that everyone wants to make sure that you know that were thinking of you. Treasure all the memories that you have and carry all the love in your heart as they are with you.

Heaven's Child


I would not like for you to cry
It's just a part of life to die
I know you miss me and you're sad
But dying isn't something bad.

I'm only just beyond your sight
I've gone with Angels to the light
I send to all of you my love
From Heaven's gardens up above.

I like it here, I'm having fun
And I am with The Holy One
I am sitting on His knee
With Jesus watching over me.

So many souls I knew before
Were waiting here at...

I cannot imagine the pain you must be going through. My heart is breaking for you. Know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of many. May God wrap his arms around you and fill you with all the wonderful memories of your angels. God bless you and your family.

To Amy and Family:
My son Ryan was a friend of Ethans and will greatly miss him, as will many others. I can not begin to understand the pain and sorrow you are feeling but know that GOD is with them now and they will be waiting for you and watching over you until you are together again. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Amy,
We did not know you, saw you at Ethan's football games. He was such a sweet spirit and a great football player according to my son Clovis. Clovis said the coach always said "surly you can do it Shirley" and he could. Heavenly Father has opened his arms to your lovely children and will watch over them until you can be with them. Through his atonement, this is possible. He is the only one that has the answers for this horrific tragedy. May you feel his love and the love of those around...

Ethan: You are the eldest of Mom's special angels. Keep brother and sister close by and surround your family with your love and spirit. Mom: know that there will be a reunion one day and you will be with your children once more. Believe on that and it will get you through. My prayers and peace to you. So very, very sorry you are going through this.

Ethan, stay close to your Mom. Let your love and your spirit cover her and help comfort her. You are the eldest of her special angels. Show your family that you are all still with them and that Love... never dies.
