Just would like to say I am very sorry to Adam's family and friends who loved him so much. To Adam's mom thank you for giving my daughter the best of friends, and society one of the greatest human beings. Marissa loved Adam so much, she loved him unconditionally, and she was always there for him as he was always there for her. If Adam needed someone to talk to Rissa was there no matter what day or what time of the day it was. Adam and Rissa's friendship was one that would last a lifetime. Rissa always said there were times in her life she wouldn't of made it without Adam. Adam,

thank you for being the best of friends to my daughter, when she needed a friend the most. Now, I pray for your family and for God to give them strength and Comfort. Adam I will miss seeing and hearing Marissa talk about you, and how happy she was whenever you called her. You were so special to her, her eyes shined like stars when she talked about you. She loved you so much and she will miss you dearly. I am sorry we never made it to Applebee's but maybe I can have a raincheck when I get to heaven. We will miss you so much, please be with Rissa always and guide her. Rest in peace my dear angel. To the Hughes family I will fervently pray for all of you and beg God for his comfort, grace and mercy.

I am so sorry about the loss of Adam. I only had the pleasure of meeting him a few times, but he was a friend of my daughter, Ashley's. He seemed like a very respectable young man. You're all in my prayers.

My deepest sympathy goes out to your family during this difficult time. The loss of Adam had truly affected my daughter's family, the Lunn's. Adam was a best friend to each of my grandchildren, Nicole, Kim and Danny, for many years. He was loved as if he was one of Gloria & Steve's own children. He always loved coming to their house and also Gloria's good home cooking.

God needed an angel to look down on all of us and he chose Adam for his loving smile and personality. He will forever be in our hearts and never be forgotten.

Adam was my son, Tyler Rosenbaum's very close friend - "my other brother", as Ty would call him. We will miss his light heart and laughter, his sweet boyishness, the quick smile with a twinkle in his eye as he turned to wave then walked away,...

Good night, Sweet Prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
