Dear DonnaLee

Although it has been many years I remember you well. I am terribly saddened to hear of your loss and as a parent cannot imagine the pain of mourning a child. May G-d grant you the strength to endure.

DonnaLee, I am so sorry to hear about your tragic loss. And upon reading, I understand you lost Jimmy, also. Being your OB doctor's nurse, I only knew them as babies and children. You and your family will be in my prayers.

I'm thinking of you all today, and know today's not much better than yesterday for you all, I don't know the answers to things that happen in the world, and always to the best people.We had lost a good family friend who was just 15 to cancer,when the dr's took the first tumor out, checked it for cancer, no cancer, they discovered because of headaches he had another growing in behind that one, didn't check it, assumed it was like the first one, I watched this kid go through what most adults couldn't, he died 7 months ago, devistated his dad, only son, well, dad got killed on his motorcycle 2 weeks ago, I don't know why, it's for us not to know yet, but we feel like they missed each other so much they needed each other, it was made to happen the way it did, I still don't understand, never will, it's not my will be done, but Gods.I always think about you all, it's so easy to seperate yourself from the world when tragedy happens, but with all this darkness, there is light, we want them back with us, but from what they have seen, and meeting again, they are so happy they wouldn't want to come back.We at least have comfort in knowing we will all be together with our loved ones again, to never be apart, to cry no more tears of sorrow, just of happiness, until that day comes, hold strong in the lord, he holds the keys to heaven. May the lord keep you all safe in his loving arms, and comfort you in your days, love, kim & family

To the Layer family,

Although I only had but one year to spend with your daughter, she made getting adjusted to living away from home a pleasure. She made everyday worth living and she always brought a smile to my face. We shared countless priceless memories that will never be forgotten, whether it be her making us a "family dinner" or being there for her when her fish passed away. FSU just will not be the same without her. Thank you for blessing us with your beautiful daughter and know that we loved her like she was our own family, because basically she was.

With love and sympathy,

Maisy

Dear Jim, Donna, and family...



While there can be no way for any of us to feel the pain that must be in your hearts, we pray you find some comfort in knowing how Lindsay, in her young life, touched the people around her in a positive way.



Let those fond memories give you the strength you will need to carry on

as you have since Jimmy's passing.

Dear Jim,

Words cannot possibly begin to explain how awful, and helpless I feel upon hearing the news of the loss of your loving daugther. I can only imagine what your family is going through. My heart goes out to you and your family in this time of need. I share your sadness and offer you my deepest sympathies.

Lindsay,

Although I lost track of the beautiful young woman you had become, I will never forget the sweet little girl you were. I will always remember that adorable face sitting in class with Alyssa at Cooper City Elementary. I know that your strength and love are what helped your parents survive the loss of your brother, Jimmy. I also know and rejoice in the fact that you are back in his loving care. Still, it was way too early for you to leave those who love you so well. Rest in peace, sweetheart. Your stay was short, but the work you did while you were here will last fovever.

My heart goes out to you, Jim, Stacy and the rest of your clan. Lindsay's will be loved and remembered as "The Baby" forever in my heart. I'll always remember her dancing with Courtney at her graduation party last year. Wearing her FSU hat and having such a wonderful time! I'll never understand why this happened and the loss you all are suffering. I'll always be here for you and love you all.
