I was there when Mommy gave you life. You were perfect. You touched all of us in your own special way. We thank God for the time we had with you. but now there is a big emptiness inside us all since your gone. We all know that you are at peace. It doesn't make it any easier not having you.

Devon and Hannah,
I am so proud of both of you for being a good brother and sister to Logan. I know you are going to miss him and that he is missing you. Remember that he is still with you in your hearts, I love you, Grammie

Amy & Matt,
I learned a little late about this site, but was so comforted to read all the wonderful things everyone had to say about Logan. I knew he was special the first day I met him and it will always mean the world to me that I got to be his "Grammie", even if just for a few years. I was looking forward to watching him grow up, and I know I'll miss so many things about him, especially his smiles(the happy ones & the sly ones), and the special way he always let us know just what he was thinking, or when he would take my hand and lead me to something he wanted me to get for him. Watching you both play with Logan and include him in everything you did always made me so proud of you as parents, and so happy that Devon and Hannah had the three of you in their lives, and that I am lucky enough to have all of you in my life!
Matt & Amy, you are very strong, and amazing people, but remember that I am here whenever you need me. I love you both, and you and Logan will be in my heart and prayers forever. Mom (Debbie)

I did not know Logan and just got an e-mail about his tragic passing. My son is also autistic and that makes me ever more sorry to hear of your loss. These children are wonderful people with a great deal of everyday courage. My heart goes out to you and your family in this difficult time.

All who had the joy of knowing hem were blessed, and I feel doubly blessed because of working with him several times at pennmar in the respite home a year or two ago and learning from him. I too have a autistic son named Logan. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. May the Lord sustain you during these pain-filled days of your fresh grief and shower you with grace upon grace.

Logan was a wonderful kid. He touched so many people with his laughter and smile. My fondest memory of Logan is when we were outside at recess how much he enjoyed being pushed on the swing. I miss you buddy.

Debbie, Bim, Matt and Amy

Although we never had the honor of meeting Logan, we can tell from these tributes that he was truly an amazing child. We just lost our great nephew last week at 8 weeks old, so we know the pain that all of you are experiencing right now. May you all find comfort in knowing that Jesus is holding Logan in his arms and has truly great plans for him. "The magic of a flower is not in how long it's bloom lasts, but the beauty of it's bloom while it's here".

Dear Amy,
I am so sorry for your loss. I can not imagine what you are going through right now. I met Logan this summer at camp. He caught my eye the first time I saw him. He was always playing with sticks, or looking for the next thing to grab. He had a smile that could brighten any day. Logan was a very special little boy that you were blessed with. You and your family are in my prayers.

Dear Amy; My sincere sympathy to you and your family at the loss of your precious son Logan. It was a joy to have him on my school van this year. I will always remember his beautiful smile. Logan has to hold a record for taking off his shoes and socks in a matter of seconds. I will greatly miss him and his special Mom. My heart breaks for you.

Logan was a burst of sunshine in my life. I am the consultant, with the PA Verbal Behavior Project, that had the wonderful opportunity to meet and work with your son this school year. He was so happy and loved at school. I loved it when we were able to bring out that magnificent smile. This is why I am attaching several pictures that say more than words. It won't be the same going back into that classroom without seeing Logan and my heart is broken. I too am a mother of an autistic son who is about Logan's age. I can't image your feelings of loss and sadness over losing him. However, there is a God in Heaven and He is control of our lives during both the good times and bad times. I truly hope and pray that you seek God's comfort and feel His arms holding you up during this time of deep sorrow. Logan is with God and God is watching over him now. Your family is in my prayers.

Amy, I am so sorry. Logan was so special to my room. We enjoyed having him in our class room for 2 years. No matter what he did we still loved him and was happy to have im there. Just to see him happy and smiling was the best gift for us to see everyday at school. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and we will always remember the great moments we got to have with Logan those two years. Everytime I have a puzzle, tootsie roll, and cows tail I will think of him. If you need anything feel free to call me at school. My deepest sympathy
