Rev Thomas and Rev. Breary....my former pastors in the UCZ church in Zambia St. Andrews Congragation. I lived in Pittsburgh Pa and Indianapolis IN for over ten years and I serached for you and never found you. Your tragedy has made me find you and how sad indeed Iam at your loss. My kids still live in Indianapolis and pittsburgh, I came back to Zambia couple of years ago and please Rev. Thomas, get in touch!

I found this article on-line and realized who this boy was. It was so many years ago in Lehighton he was a baby. I am so very sorry and would like to have your email address, Kathy, so that I may be in touch.

To the Thomas family. I am sorry for the loss of your precious son. You do not know me, but I lost my 19 year old son in February under similar circumstances. I read your article in the New York Times and was struck by the similarities between our sons. I just wanted to extend my sympathy to you and let you know that I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Your article is important and courageous. The loss of a child is so difficult. Blessings to your family and to your son's...

Just heard Owen's story on ESPN. My heart is touched deeply by your loss. Please know that Owen's legacy continues to grow as his story touches the hearts of millions! I was brought to tears as I considered my own son away at college and I intend to share Owen's story with other parents so they can be aware of acquired brain injury, and of the challenges college students face as well. May God be with you...

The thoughts of many are with you in this difficult time.
