The Broken Chain

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

by Rom Tranmer

Thank you Kim and Keith for sharing K.C. with our family for many years. I had the great pleasure of having “3 sons” for a time, and Carson & Taylor had another brother to share many happy memories and exploits. The Mayer family chain is broken as is yours and we share your great sorrow with the passing of K.C. We extend our deepest sympathy for your families in your loss.

Dear Kim,
We were so shocked to hear this sad news. We have such happy memories of coaching KC in hockey. He was an awesome kid even back then ! Our family sends our thoughts and prayers.

To all K.C's family and to all his classmates and friends.

So sorry to hear of your great loss, K.C. was a classmate of my daughter Amy from kindergarten to grade 12. K.C. was also my nephew Jayden Niels best bud, like a brother to him. It hurts to see the kids so sad...He will be missed by all that were fortunate enough to know him.

Dear Kim:
Please accept my sincere condolences for the sudden loss of your dear son last week. I can only imagine what a shock it must be to you and your family.
Although I didn't know your KC that well, on the few occasions that I met him, I did realize his kindness and great sense of humor obviously an attribute he took from you. I do know that he was very like and love throughout the community and his school.
You were very fortunate to have such a son in your life.
Having suffered the loss of my own father as well, I have some idea of what you and your family is going through. No comfort is adequate for such a loss.
Please accept my deepest sympathies to your family.
Sincere condolences,
Steven Jodi & Kayla Herault

May we all remember his spirit and the live he truly Lived! My family sends their symapthies and condolences.

p.s. won't forget KC taking the day off school to practice his pitching for the big game - this was the year they won the A championship with north regina little league. I think the kids were around 9 years old.

To K.C.'s family
My deepest sympathies to you. I am a friend of Fay Missals and my heart goes out to you. I lost my 18 yr old son very suddenly and understand the devastation you are feeling. Treasure the memories of K.C. and the stories his friends tell you. Accept help from friends and family, don't try to get through this yourself. When you are ready you will notice that K.C. is around you by the little signs he sends. Just because K.C. is not physically with you does not mean he is not with you all the time. Tears are not weakness, only a sign of how deeply you love. I pray that God will give you comfort and strength.

In your deepest sadness you can take some joy in the fact that your son will live on in many people that he may not have even know the names of but they remember him. My 12 year old son remembers him showing some new tricks when he was just learning to skateboard. For this I can only say thank you and tell you that he will be missed by one young man that remembers his smile and the time that he gave to him.
