Dear Mr. and Mrs. Checkoway,

We don't know each other, but we have the connection of being Ward School and Bigelow School families. My son, Matty, is a 7th grader at Bigelow. I want you to know that you and Chloe are in our thoughts and prayers, and that I know you can count on us and the rest of your Ward-Bigelow community for love and support. If there's anything I can do, please tell me. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

Sincerely,

Carol Cincotta and Family

Dear Family,

I am a parent of a 6th grader and an 8th grader at Bigelow Middle School and I am so impressed with the impact of Chloe's life on every single member of the Bigelow community. Our prayers are with you, and if there is anything we can do to be of assistance to you, you should not hesitate to contact Bigelow, and they will share contact information with you.

Chloe was a young lady who had a lot of presence, and you must be very proud of her. I am very sorry for your loss.

Best Wishes,

Andrea Karis

Chloe was a caring, loving friend and a wonderful dancer. She always tried her hardest and was kind to everyone. Thank you, Chloe for dancing with me in the Sound of Music and Think Pink. I remember when we used to talk together when we were streching. I miss you, Chloe. Everyone does. Whenever I dance I will think of you and try to be like you. I will always dance my best for you.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Checkoway,

I was Chloe's Hebrew School TA this year and although I didn't know her very well, she seemed to be a very sweet young girl. Just last week I tested her on one of the prayers her class was learning. I give my deepest sympathies and hope to pay a shiva call at some point this week.

Dear Mr.& Mrs. Checkoway.





I've had the pleasure of knowing Chloe from the Ward School as I worked as an Inclusion Aid with another fifth grade student last year. She was a remarkable, bright, courteous and respectful young lady. My deepest condolencese are with you and your family. Cathy Leone Newton South High School.
