Thane,
Time is passing by so fast. One minute It seems so long ago since I´ve saw that loving face -- and then the next minute it seems like yesterday. I miss your laughing and teasing ... and I especially loved when you would tease Grandpa. It was so much fun watching you and him try to outsmart each other!
See you in heaven,
Grandma

I didn't get to see you as an adult but I imagine how you would have been. You were an awesome person who was loved by many. You brought happiness to many peoples lives. One of my favorite memories is at your funeral when your friends stood up to say what a positive impact you had on them. It was nice to know that you had others that cared about you. Some of your friends still contact me occasionally which I love. It's been nice to watch them grow up. Speaking of growing up, the girls are growing fast. We watched videos and pictures of you so much that they think they remember you...lol. Also, can you say a prayer or request a special favor for Bill. He needs it right now.
See you soon. I love you!!!
Love,
Mom

I've avoided coming to this page after so many years. I was just a friend, but I had never lost someone close to me. Today I was on Facebook and your step dad was on my page and I gathered up all my courage to come and visit you (virtually). I can't believe your mama had to lose you, I know I'm not the only one that misses your heart warming smile. I wish I could message you and simply ask you how life is going for you. Last time i had a conversation with you, you were already in college, with so many hopes and dreams, you. Thaniel I hope your looking over your family, and your friends. Keep us out of trouble and bless our lives.

Tryna,
this is Sonja Stapert, I baby sit Thane, when you lived in Grand Rapids. Gabriel, was trying to find Thane for a long time. Today I was going through pictures and I saw one of you two, when Thane was 9 years.
Gabe tried finding on facebook, he gave me sad news.
I know it is 3 years later, but we are very sorry for your lost. Gabe is really sad about the news. Thane was his bestfriend back then, he always mentioned him, and asked me if I knew were you were.
I would love hearing from you. You are in my prayers.
Email me if you can at [email protected]
Hugs,
Sonja

I think about you everyday. And especially today, because today marks the day when my heart broke into so many pieces I wasn't sure it would ever mend itself. You brought so much joy to so many people in this world...for me...you brought an endless love...when you were born I never knew I could love another person as much as I love you...you are missed today & everyday. I will remember our good times today, with a heavy heart. XOXO

I have a playlist that includes a song from Plain White T's...every time I hear it, it reminds me of you...I remember when you told me one of your favorites was that band, and I didn't know who they were :) Now, I love the song Hey there Delilah, it's one I could listen to over and over. Because it makes me think of you, and thinking of you...makes me smile. I sure do miss you kiddo.

Thane, I miss you everyday. Time has gone by so fast, It's hard to even believe that this much time has gone by. I love you Thane, everyone loves you... You made an impact on so many people. It's nice to still see your family. Bill and Tryna are so strong, and I know they miss you so insanely much. and the little ones are still as adorable as ever. Sometimes Kiera says the cutest things and it makes me want to cry. She talks about how she wants to go on an airplane to go visit you :) If only it was that easy <3

Thane I miss you so much. This month is soooo hard for me. Actually April, May and June is. You would be turning 19 yrs old on the 22nd. I can't believe it's been over 2 years already. I still feel like it was yesterday that I found you. Some days I just wish I could curl up in a ball and disappear for the day and other days are....manageable. The pain of losing a child is SO difficult to deal with. Your two wonderrful sisters are what gets me through each day. When I feel sad and look at their smiling faces, I'm able to smile and also that fact that they say, "Mommy, don't be sad....be happy". I hate that they don't get to spend their lives with you. I loved watching you look at them with such love in your eyes. You were such a great brother to them. I wish I could wake up and find out this was all just a nightmare. I'd give anything to have more time with you. I often wonder what you would be doing right now in your life. Where would you be working? When you died at 16, you were in your first semester of college. Would you have your associates now? Would you have figured out what degree you wanted? Would you be going to NAU? What kind of car would you be driving? We still have the red car that we were going to give you. I'm going to the psychic medium, Jamie Clark on your birthday. Please come and visit me there. I'd love to hear from you again. My encounters with you there have been way more helpful and healing than any counseling I've done so far. Oh, and I love that you still mess with Angela's electronics. Keep it up. :) I love you. Sorry I haven't made your gravestone yet. I'm going to do it soon. I want it to be perfect. I did find something cool I'm going to add to it though. It's a barcode that people can scan with their cell phones and it will bring up information about you that I add into a website about you. You will probably be the first one in the cemetary to have it but I think it will be common in the future. Love you, Your mom

Hey "Sweetie Pie"
God took you back to Him two years ago. I know you are having a great time with the other angels. I miss you so much.... but it makes me feel better to know that I will see you when it's my turn.
I Love You,
March 30, 2012
Wish you were here.

Not a day goes by that I'm not reminded of your darling smile...my life was changed so much by you & your smile...you could look at me when I was having a bad day...give me that beautiful smile...and all was right with the world...I miss you so much Thane. I am so grateful for the time I had with you...and at the same time, I'm angry that you were taken from us too soon.

Hey Kiddo,
I talked to your Mom today. She told me that Kiera asked to call you. I'm right there with her, I think there should be a phone in Heaven so that we can just pick it up & give you a jingle. I had a dream about you last night, it was sad, I woke up crying hysterically...I sure miss you Sweetheart...Oh by the way, your Mom's birthday is coming up...the BIG 4-0!!! Hey, watch over everyone this next weekend as we will all need you...I love you....

Thane, I miss you. Ive thought about you all year, and today more than ever. You were on my mind since I woke up this morning. Acouple more days, and its been a year. Crazy. Hah, I keep having flashbacks of the first time we met, by that little park by our house's. With your big dogs. (: I moved away and so did your family, but I still stop in front of your house everytime I go back. Like I said, I miss you. And so does anyone else who ever got to see your smile. Tryna, Ive been wanting to stop by, even though weve only met once. Haha, Ill just go by to see thane this weekend. I hope you and your family are doing ok!
I love you!!!
April 3, 2011
I miss you! I found some pictures of you from when you were a baby, you were eating Ben & Jerry's & you had it all over your face...absolutely the most adorable baby in the world...I have to get those pictures scanned in so everyone else can enjoy them as much as I do.
Couldn't figure out how to save this for the life of me, thanks Tryna for finding this!!!

Tryna & Bill, I didn't know Thane, but I can tell he was very much loved. I have been thinking about your loss more lately in light of the fact that the date of the loss of my own son, Steven is coming up March 1st. I think about you frequently and know from all the entries that Thane was and is a wonderful boy. You and your family are in my prayers. Peg Gehl

Hey Thane. I've been having a really hard time lately dealing with you being gone. The girls are getting so big and I hate that you are missing it. You were such an awesome big brother to them. Kiera enjoys watching the dvd of you that aunt Carolyn made. There was one week that Kiera watched it about 5 times a day. She would say, "I want to watch Thane" and then during the movie she would say, "I miss my brother Thane. Don't worry...he'll be back soon." I'm not looking forward to day that she realizes that you won't.
Thane help me through these rough times by giving me a sign that you are around.
I miss you so much.
Love your mom
