Iain Steele

"We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.' ...Broken Chain

To the Parents of Iain Steele,
I am a parent of a son who is frequently bullied and teased. I know the pain of trying to intervene and help. I also know the frustration of what it is like to watch children torment each other. We are working very hard at our school to make a Peaceful School Policy, and to encourage children to accept differences in one another.

My heart goes out to you in this sad time of grief. Indeed it is a time of grief for our whole community. I pray...

Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know that our Angels are happy."-- May God and the force of the spiritual Universe give you strength and hope in amid of this hour that we will all meet our Angels again…My 19 years old son “David” became an Angel on 11/06/08.

May God's Grace strengthen you and let you know that Iain Steele will be waiting for all his family for all...

Dear Steele Family & Friends,
I just came across Iain's story in the paper. I am very sorry for your loss and will pray for you and Iain. I also lost a friend in junior high, for similiar reasons. I pray for young people to be kind to each other.

I've sat and stared at this empty dialogue box for too long and there's nothing I can say to ease the pain of losing a son. I read your story in the Chicago Trib this morning and my heart is sincerely broken over your loss. Iain left such a beautiful legacy behind from his kindness, he will not be forgotten.

Dear Mr and Mrs. Steele,

I live in Western Springs, I grew up here, and I am now an 8th grade teacher. I want you to know that every day I try to help kids like your son. My heart is with you as well as my prayers. If there is anything I can do for you, in Iain's memory, to make this world a little better, let me know.

A neighbor from Old Town,
Sue

I am so sorry for your loss. And I am so sad about what happened to Iain. I saw the story on Cnn.com and it brought me to tears. I will keep you in my prayers.


God Bless
