You know that Larry And I will always be there for you and Amber, anytime or anyplace. We did go through a lot with the boys growing up and getting into all of the mischief that they did, after all 3 heads were better than one. After all of that, neither one of us got any gray hairs.......right? You and Amber are a very strong women and I know that you can get through this pain. Think of the good times and you can make it through the bad times. If you feel blue or sad at anytime call me and we can go to Paris shopping, I'd love to get some of those great deals that you get.

Linda,

My thoughts are with you and Amber.

It's not natural for our child to be taken before his parents but sometimes that is

God's way, that God has special plans for him and that's what I've been told, and I hope to

God that's true.

I know that the hurt and pain that we feel will lesson in time, but it will never go away completely.

You two will have a lot of good memories. I will have a few. I wish I could have gotten to know him.

Levi I will miss you and love you

Your Father Rick

Linda,

When you called me Sunday morning and told me, I thought I was dreaming. The thought of losing another best friend was too hard to believe, but it's true.

I love you with all of my heart and you"ve been like a mother to me as far back as I can remember. If their is anything I can do to help, You know how to reach me.

Remember, he's with Ryan in a much better place.

Dear Linda, I am sorry to hear about your loss and send my condolences. Levi grew up to be a good man, and in childhood he was a good friend and at times my best friend. I wish over the years now that i would have had more contact with him knowing we both loved to do allot of the same things fishing, hunting, camping, and all that outdoors stuff. Levi was funny, outgoing, energetic, and full of life, it is hard to believe that he is gone.

Dearest Linda and family,



We are all too familiar with the pain and sadness you are going through at this time. We know there are not words to take the pain away, but staying close to Levi's daughters and reminding them of what a wonderful father they were blessed with, the good times will help see you through this most tragic time.

Of course you know that we are here for you and yours, if there is anything we can do. Bless you all.
