I have heard such sweet things about her and you for that matter. She has raised you well. Always remember what she has taught you and with every great thing you accomplish in your life know that she has something to do with it.

Dear Pat, Frank, Doug, Todd and your families,
Susan was such a special and beautiful young lady whom I will always remember with her bright, shining smile. It is so unfair that she was taken so young. Sharing our memories of growing up together tonight meant so much and brought back many more. I know you are all hurting deeply, but you have each other and that strength will help you get through this. You will all remain in my heart, my thoughts and my prayers. Love, Lynn

The King Family,

I am Sydney Settle's mom and on behalf of Syd and our family we just wanted to extend our condolences and sympathy. We have known Jared for many years. He is one of the kindest and most considerate young men we have ever had the pleasure of knowing and both Jared and Jason have always been such great friends to Sydney. It is certainly a testament to growing up in such a loving and dedicated family and with such terrific parents. I know that Sydney has always really enjoyed spending time with your family! My regret is to have only been an acquaintance of your mom's and to have not known her better.

Our thoughts are with you all right now and we wanted to share this quote that we found comforting during a very difficult time.

"To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die".

This is certainly the case for your mom, as she will always be with you and remain in your hearts.

Dear King family
I am Molly Smith's mom and i just wanted to express my sympathy to you all. Jason, we have known you for many years and i know how hard this must be for you and your family. Your mom was a beautiful and loving person and such an exceptional mom. She has raised you so well...you are a wonderful young man. I sat behind her at curriculm night this year and was just amazed at her strength and dignity. I know that all of her very wonderful qualities are passed on to you and that you will continue to make her proud throughout your life. she has left three strong men who will hold each other up. Molly told me how great you always were to your mom so you should be so proud of yourself for walking this difficult path so well. You take care and remember Molly will be there for you if you ever need anything and that the smith house always has an open door for you.
