Aunty loves you Adam, I miss you everyday! It's unbelievable that it will be a year in one day. I'm here with Mom trying to comfort her but I know I can't fill your shoes. I love you to the moon and back!

As we come upon the 1st anniversary of Adam's death, please know I am thinking of your family and friends. I was there that day as the female park ranger dug furiously and I got off my bike to help. I turned around and there had to be 30 firefighters running towards us with shovels. My heart is still heavy.

Adam was one of the best French Horn Players at the middle school where I teach and it's a shame what happened to him. My condolences to his family and friends he will be missed.

It's been a little while since I've spoken with Adam. I have never met such a sweet, caring, GREAT guy. He knew exactly what to say to cheer me up anytime I called him. He will always have a part of my heart. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I know your family is very close, and I know right now you guys can't fathom the thought of going on without such a huge part of your heart and soul..but EVERYTHING happens for a reason, and ONLY God knows why. Keep your heads up and trust that the Lord has a reason for this. R.I.P Aaadam (He would always make fun of my accent, so that's how I would say his name) <3

I'm so very sorry for your loss
I knew Adam at the Oakland airport I work for UPS
We would always talk Disneyland and if he was going down there he would always me if I needed or wanted something
Once I asked him for a shirt it was weeks later and I had forgotten I even asked and he comes walking up to me with that well know Disneyland bag with my shirt. What a fantastic person he was and I miss him each and everyday. Especially that smile
I am so very sorry for your loss
I can't be there tomorrow night but I will be there in spirit
Send all good thoughts your way

Kevin & Debbie,
Words cannot express the sympathy that I feel for you and your family. I have many fond memories of the kids growing up together at Calvary as well as being at your home for daycare. Adam was truly a great person and his death will be felt by many. May God comfort you during this very difficult time.
