Never forgotten. Love Mom

Five years ago, I drove you to the airport, we hugged and I watched you walk inside to departures. I had no idea it would be your final departure and our last hug. We had a week of calls and text before you and Lucas went on holiday. I remember everything about you and had you present for 24 years in my life. You were beautiful, joyful, generous and an inspiration to everyone around you.
Chynna, I am so grateful for the privilege to be your mother. You will never be forgotten and I miss your smile and laughter. Without the grace and love of Jesus, I could not walk this life. I live with a hole in my heart and a daily void. You don´t heal or get over grief, especially losing a child, however, it softens and you learn to carry it. I look forward to our heavenly reunion. Love you always! Mom

She Walks in Beauty - By Lord Byron: She walks in beauty, like the night, of cloudless climes and starry skies, and all thats best of dark and bright, meet in her aspect and her eyes, where thoughts serenely sweet express, how pure, how dear their dwelling-place. And on that cheek, and oer that brow, so soft, so calm, yet eloquent, the smiles that win, the tints that glow, but tell of days in goodness spent, a mind at peace with all below, a heart whose love is innocent. In memory of Chynna and Lucas Fowler, one year ago today, July 15, 2019.

we were so moved by the beautiful words of Lucas' father at his memorial in Sydney, Australia, he loved his son, he loved your daughter, and said most eloquently, that he wants Chynna to hold Lucas tight. Beyond everything, our family send our love to yours, to Lucas' family, and Mr Dyck's in Canada. The Bradford's in OZ.

Dear Parents of Chynna Deese, I'm so so sorry for the loss of your beloved Chynna. I don't know Chynna or Lucas or any family. I'm a California resident who saw the tragic details of Chynna's death on T.V. So unexpected and horrible that a young ,beautiful, beloved woman could have met death at such an early age. No words are enough at this time. I know Chynna was very happy and had a long life to live. R.I.P dear Chynna! May God be with the family at this very difficult time.

Dear Chynna,
I am so sorry and hurt about your short but love filled life.
I do not know you but I am a man who lived and worked all over BC and the Yukon on the side of road and in the mountains in tents working on Helicopters for 30 years. I know the local people very well and the horible situation you encountered is not normal and dark. The light is slowly shining now with your soul and will shine brighter as days and months pass but you Chynna will never be forgotten. I give my love to you and your family plus anyone who was touched by you. All my unconditional love and support from BC Canada
