Liam and I started working at Cradles to Cradles the same week, both incredibly competitive and eager to outshine (and at times, sabotage) one another -- we became fast friends. He was incredibly bright, quick-witted, and had charisma to boot. Long after he left Cradles, he remained one of our biggest advocates and champions, making connections for us everywhere he went.

I was lucky to have Liam as a caring and thoughtful friend long after he left Cradles. He was a source of unconditional support and always knew how to put a smile on my face. I will hold him in my heart.

I cannot begin to fathom the depths of your sorrows at this time. I pray to God for comfort for all of you and to trust in His world that Liam is at peace, mentally and physically. That his life lived here will change people who knew him in a way to make lives bette.

Phil, Sue & The Cunningham Family,

Words cannot express how deeply saddened we are. Liam was such a sweet, kind, caring, smart & very polite young man. He always knew when it was our busy season & would call us, ask if we needed help and would come right in with that gorgeous, beaming smile to assist with floral deliveries. But it was the way in which he walked into the store.... He ALWAYS greeted us with a huge smile & giant hug, always. Liam will be cherished in our heart and memories forever.

Sue Atkinson

Phil/Sue - There simply are no words. Everything I've read about Liam points to a smart, caring, well-mannered young man. He may have reached his potential on earth but his legacy is eternal. I hope you can take some small amount of comfort in knowing that he touched so many lives in a positive way.
