Dear Stacey and Ron,
A stranger sent me this news via email and as a father of one son who gives my life its purpose, and knowing that today being fathers day, and not having your beautiful son with you Ron must have been extremely hard, I just want to tell you how deeply sorry I am for you both. I am sure Asher took the love of all of you with him to Heaven and I wish you peace and strength to continue on.

Dear Touaty-Brennan Family
When I heard the news of a terrible accident up the street from where I live, it was horrible enough. To further learn a young child was taken from us, was even more horrific. Since that day, you have been in my thoughts and I drive past the spot on my way home, stopping and saying a little prayer for Asher and for all of you. May it comfort you to know that your little Asher had such an immense impact on so many lives in the short time you were blessed with him. Having lost a child myself, my heart and soul weep with you.

Stacey Newton

I've tried to write this message several times but find myself at a loss of words each time. Nothing I write seems sufficient for all I want to say. I cry and cry. My husband was one of the men at the scene that helped and we will never ever stop thinking of little Asher. As parents of three young children this has forever changed us. Your family will forever be in our thoughts and our hearts...now and always. Be strong.

Dearest Stacey and Family.
I have been attempting to write something in this guest book for a week. There simply are no words to express the sorrow I felt when I heard the awful news of the death of your precious son Asher and I can only imagine how devastating this must be for you and the rest of your family. There is absolutely nothing as painful as losing a child.
The photos you have posted of your beautiful Asher are so touching. The photo with his papa by the lake left me in tears.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Wishing you peace and healing,
Marie-Claire Hogan

Dear Stacey, Ron and family,

I feel like it has been 15 years since I last saw you and had a chat Stacey. I have never met Ron or the girls, and I never got the chance to meet Asher. I was there on Thursday, with hundreds of others to mourn your loss. There are few words that could describe what I was feeling that day...there are none that could describe what you all are going through right now. All my heart and prayers go to everyone in the Brennan and Touaty clans.

Dear Stacey and Ron! Although I never met Asher I imagined him to be very beautiful and loved. After seeing his photos my heart broke from realising just how beautiful and loved he was!... I know that for anyone in your situation the biggest question would be how to live after this, how to make sense of all this and see meaning in life without Asher. This is the biggest challenge for all of you now - to be able to go on living meaningfully. But everything comes to an end. And one day you shall be re-united with Asher in Heaven. Until then, may G-d guard and protect his soul, give you strength and exceptional courage to continue living for Asher's sake, keeping his memory alive, until you all meet again B'ezrat Hashem!
