Not sure what to say?

We were staying in a resort in Little Cottonwood Canyon when your son was lost. As we drove by the searchers daily we prayed that they would find your son alive.

Sorry to hear about the loss. I am from there and my mom sent me the news clipping. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and yours.

We are very sorry for your loss. We cried for Simon when they found him. Please know that you will be with him again at some time.

Dear Kofford Family:
The loss you have sustained is felt deeply farther than you can probably imagine. I have a son the same age as Simon. We live right next to a creek, and tragically, my worst nightmare has become your reality. My prayers and heartfelt sympathy are with you all.

To the Kofford Family,
We have been watching TV every day, hoping that little Simon would be found safe and back in your arms. We are saddened to hear of your great loss. We have children and grandchildren that resemble little Simon. We feel very much blessed for having these special spirits in our life and when we hear of your loss it makes us hug and hold onto to our children and grandchildren even more. Like you we have lost a boy in our family and we know what you are going through....

Dear Kofford Family,
I'm so sorry to hear about your son, I have lost a child too but I didn't have much time to watch her grow she was only mine to watch for 2 days. I wish we would of both been given longer with our children, but now they will not suffer earthly pain anymore even though we will miss them forever and wish things could of been different. God has plans and our children are apart of his plan.

Being from Utah, I look up Deseret News online every day to see the latest news and was saddened by your story. I am sorry for the loss you have experienced in your family. Hopefully knowing others are concerned for you will help you through this sorrowful time.
