Mr and Mrs Dolan,
I don't know if you remember me, but I remember you and Edward. My name is Siobhan Gardner and I knew him as Eddie Dolan, the smartest boy in my Pre-K class. I went to Pre-K with Edward at Sacred Heart. One key memory I have is a play we did as a class, he was the narrorator, and I was cat. I couldn't believe it when I first heard, and I still can't. My heart goes out to you and your family and all of you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

My heart and soul ache for your loss – nothing can be more tragic than the death of one’s child. No words to say - just ache.

Margaret
You held him in your womb, and through his life, you held him in your arms. How blessed you both were to have each other.
