Saige I still can't believe this is real. I keep thinking about the day we had lunch such a short time ago. I will cherish that day and the memory of that day in my heart forever. Saige you touched so many peoples lives. You left behind so many memories that we will always keep in our hearts. Iwill always remember that wonderful smile of yours. You are at peace now even though that doesn't make it any easier that your gone. I love you so very much Aunt Vic

Becky and Mark,
I know your pain too well. I love both of you so much and I also loved Saige. Our family has been through so much over the last year and I truely hope we can lean on each other, the pain is so unbearable, which hopefully we never have to go through this again. You know I will always be there for you sis, just as you have been there for me. I love you all so much and Saige will be missed as much as my own son is missed.

Dear Becky & Mark,

Saige was a super guy with a BIG heart and we will miss him coming by to play basketball. He even made sure Bradley got to play too! Or to knock on the door to ask for a drink, and make fun of Nadine's new hair color or to borrow the lawnmower to make some extra money for that baby he was so looking forward to seeing.

There are no words to help you with your grief. We cared for him as so many people did and we hope time will help to ease your pain.

Rest in peace dear Saige.

Becky, I can't even begin to imagine the grief you are feeling. I wish there was something I could say to ease your pain. My only memories of Saige are when my son Adam and Saige played baseball together for one season at Rockford Lane. I think Saige was 7 and Adam was 8. He was such a tiny and cute little boy. I am so very sorry for your loss.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I promise to both Saige and his family to always be there to support Heather and their little girl as long as I am here on earth. My heart goes out to your family. God Bless

I only knew Saige for a short time while he attended Farnsley Middle with my daughter, Laci. He would come over and jump on the trampoline and just hang out. I thought he was a very special young man. His smile touched my heart from the very beginning. My husband even took to him which is hard for teenage boys to do with a girls dad.
I am so sorry for your loss and Saige will always be fondly remembered by my family and myself.

Brittany Stewart

June 3, 2008

Growing up, Saige was a great friend. When I moved I left behind several memories that I could not force myself to forget. Knowing him the five years that I did, made a huge impact. He was such a good listener and made me laugh all of the time. Knowing now that he is gone, is something I cannot force myself to believe.

I know I am only 16.
But I know that losing someone is really hard.

If you need anything, feel free to email me.

I know, as well as you do, he will be missed by so many.
But the most we can really do is think about all the great times we had with him growing up.

Look towards the positivity that at least he did not suffer. && Just know that now he is still somewhere where he is reciving love.

I send my love.
-Brittany.

Always- Kara

It's so crazy to see you go!! I never imagined i'd loose someone i've known so long, from elementary to middle and on to high we always had fun times together and you always smiled and got through hard times as best as you could. your smile light up my life and i will never forget you. thanks for being there when i needed you most! it's hard to realize you're gone but you're not gone forever i will see you again and we'll make up for the time we lost! I love you. I'm very sorry for your family and especially your son/daughter on the way. i'm absolutely sure your kid will know who his/her dad is and you will always be remembered as the sweet, loving, caring boy we all knew you as! It's hard to even think about you being gone and i'm trying not to tell myself you're gone! It seems so unreal! You will be missed!

Becky and Mark,

I can't imagine the pain you are feeling right now. Saige won our hearts the day you all moved in with that cute little smile of his and his loving, tender ways that he often didn't realized showed.

We will forever cherish our memories of watching him grow up and all the things we got to do together (play ball, eat, homework, eat, watch him play with the kids, eat, take him to the skating rink, eat - and did I mention eat? Especially if there was cake!)

Be comforted in that he didn't suffer,

Lean on Christ and he will carry you through this. May God grant you peace over the coming months. Know that if you need anything we are here for you.

With all our love,
Mark, Lynne, Lana, Daniel, & Tabitha
