My family was so sad to hear about your son. I believe our boys played basketball together years ago at the JCC and you may have been the coach! As parents we always remember our grown sons as those innocent vulnerable little boys they were back then, but maybe that is because they still are? Rest assurred that Artie is safe and sound and that his passing has had an influence on many teens here in Havertown. My own two are talking and that is a very good thing. We are all saying prayers for you.

Dear Schiavo family,

My daughter, Sarah, both graduated with and was a friend of Art's. He had been to my home many times with all his friends. I am still in such a state of shock and disbelief over the whole situation. Havertown will never be the same without your son. May God bless your family and help you through this difficult time. My sincerest sympathies.

I've been staring at the computer, not knowing what words to write, and I've finally figured out there just are no right words to say. I am so sorry. I just want to let you know I am thinking of you constantly and I wish I could do something to ease your pain, even a little. I cannot imagine what you are going through.

Art,

We didn't get the opportunity to get to know you as we should have. For that we are ashamed, at the same time left feeling deprived. Your passing has had an impact on so many people. You are teaching us all some very valuable lessons. For us, one is that family bonds should never be broken. Thank you for opening up our eyes. I believe you have also saved many lives. Our prayers are with you and your family that they may find the strength and comfort they will need.

Love

My thoughts and prayers are with you, his parents and other family members at this time of great loss. May God provide you with comfort and strength as only He can provide in the days to come that you might be encouraged in the knowledge that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
