My thoughts and prayers have been with you all for many months and they will continue to be.
My heart was torn not only with the loss of Owen but because I had to be out of town for his wake and funeral. I am sorry I could not be there.

Dear Jen and Family,
It saddens me very much to hear about the passing of Owen, especially knowing he is only a little younger than my little girl. He was a strong and determined little guy that made it a lot longer than thought. My deepest sympathies go out to you all. Owen will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace Owen and God Bless you all. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask.

Jen and family,
I'm so so sorry for your loss. Words cannot describe the hurt I'm sure you are feeling right now, and nothing we can say will make it quite right. But know that you have a ton of people who are here for you in your time, and that we're all praying for you. Owen got his wings, he's free of pain now, and he's looking down on you, trying to reassure you that you're one of the best, one of the strongest moms in the world.
Jen, you've been here for so many of us, and Owen's spirit will be kept alive through you and all who knew him. If there's anything at all you need or want from a fellow friend, please don't hesitate to call.
Love,
Kelly McCulloch

I am so sorry for your loss, even though I dont know you personally I have been reading your blog and checked it daily. I just want you to know that Owen made his way into my heart and will forever be there. He was such an incredible little boy and so lucky to have a mom like you and two brothers to be there for him. He has left his mark on our town of Akron and we will always remember his smile.

As a mother, my heart is breaking for you right now. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Our son was diagnosed with neuroblastoma last March, so we understand what a long, painful journey this is. Ever since we heard of Owen's illness last year on TV we have prayed for him every night and admired what a brave little fighter he was. The only positive way I can look at this though is to know that he is no longer in pain and he gets to run around and act like a healthy 4 year old boy up there with God, like he deserves to. May the Lord help you during this painful time and may your memories of Owen comfort you.

My wife Cindy and I want to offer our deepest sympathies and warmest thoughts at the passing of your brave and dear son and brother. I met Owen last year at O'Hara High School and had prayed for him and all of you since then.
As difficult as this time is, please know that angels greeted Owen and one of those was my son, Sean, who we lost suddenly almost 5 years ago. I know that Owen is in good company with a "guardian angel" to watch him until you all are together again. Owen has earned his rest. We are all better for knowing him and his brave heart, even if it were just a short time.
May God bless you all. May He give you strength.
Warmest Regards,
John and Cindy Scott
