Dear Jill and Tanner,
I just opened the WHHS Alumni chatterbox and I was shocked to see Chase's name in the Class Notes. I am so so sorry for your loss. I wish I had known at the time of his passing. I remember Chase's kindness to Eamonn and Seamus and his wonderful spirit and humor. I called Penny as she did not know of your loss either. She and I extend our deepest sympathy to both of you.

If there is anything I can do for you both, please call me , as I know your hearts must be hurting still and all I can say is I am thinking of you both and hoping you can find peace in this difficult time. I hope you feel the arms hugging you from here, love always and often. Theresa
Jill I also have to say what a great son you raised, both of them, some of the sweetest boys I have ever had the honor to share time with. I know my children feel the same and our hearts go out to you both. I do hope you can find some comfort in the memories. Love Theresa , Cassie and Stephane

Dear Jill and Tanner, Chase was an "old" friend of my son Joe. They grew up together. Through Jr. high, high school, college and young adulthood, they shared good times, played sports together and celebrated the joys of youth. His smiling face and exuberant self were a shining presence in our home. Chase's memory will always be a blessing in our hearts. Marilyn Gale

I wish I could drive you over Blaney Rd. And make you laugh again. Or drive by the frat houses and QT the boys only to hear you laughing in the front seat. One day you will be able to laugh again. I love you with all my heart, and wish I could take the pain away.

I can't begin to imagine your devastation. Chase had a special place in our hearts. He touched Matthew's life as a role model and friend. He will always be remembered in our lives (probably still doing "the Matthew" dance.
