Tanner Alexander Bertauche

Wendy and Alexis, I am so saddened to hear of the passing of your beautiful boy. Tanner was such a joy from his toddling in the hallway to pick out a movie to his sweet little "no" when we needed him to do something. I never expected him to have to endure all that he did especially on that first day when we were baffled because he barely seemed sick. I always enjoyed your company and know the sacrifices you all have had to keep a normal life for your entire family. I will always remember...

Wendy and Alexis,
It is with great sadness that I read the news about your precious boy, Tanner. Losing a child myself, I know this is a most difficult time for you. I will keep your family in my thoughts.

My son Kevin called me to pray for Tanner and his family, when Lynne was taking Wendy to the Oakland Children's hospital.
We also prayed for all of you at Mass on Saturday here in Mexico...
I did not know Tanner or his family but
I was very touched and moved by this little guy fighting for his life.
May God bless you all.
Maggy Murray

Wendy and Alexis,
It was my pleasure to have worked with Tanner the little bit that I did. It has been a privelege knowing your family from playing softball as well as through this journey. Ours is a Christian family and we will continue to hold all of you in our hearts and prayers in the days and months to come. Thinking of Tanner's smile makes me smile too. "For God shall send his angels to guard you and watch over you in all you do." PS 91:11.

A child who loses his parents is called an orphan, a woman/man who loses her/his spouse is called a widow/widower; there isn't a word for a parent who loses a child because there are not enough words to describe the grief. My heart aches for you.

Sincerely,

Kathy Bohall, member

Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD ,
“plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future

This verse was hand stiched and framed by a church lady where we had our 3-month old son's funeral 15-years ago.

I also have followed your son's journey through life. Although our son passed also at a young age, he passed peacefully from SIDS and never suffered.

It is a heartbreak...

Dear Family Of Tanner,
Please accept our deepest sympathy, Know that others are thinking of you at this hardest of all times.
God has promised to give the strength we need to endure &
He understands
Nahum 1:7
Most Respectfully

I've followed Tanners story since I lived in Reno, I've since moved to California. I stay current with the Reno News via internet. I was so sad to see that Tanner didn't make it. My prayers are with you. Little Tanner was one brave and tuff lil cookie, wasn't he.

Beautiful child, beautiful family. Our hearts are with you.
