Reflecting today on the Shultz family losses and new beginnings. Reading back through this guest book, it is evident that those who knew Rachel and Alex are turning this tragedy into a positive learning about the value of life, the value of family, the value of tomorrow. What a light in the darkness!

I was thinking about you tonight. I had the most trivial fight and it reminded me that life shouldn't be spent in anger or saddness! You have truly done more for me than you will ever known Alex Schultz. Thank you! Please continue to watch over and help protect and guide us. We all need our guardian angel watching over us, thank you for being mine. I am looking at a cross your mom made for me as a present when I went off to college 3 years ago, it reminds me of your families beautiful spirt and inspiring encouragement! I will never lose faith! All my Love!

October 24, 2010

Miss you Schultz... Still think about you everyday, I cant believe its been so long. Keep looking down upon all of us.

I find it somewhat difficult to write in this guestbook as I met Rachel during a strained circumstance. However, I found it most important to come forward and let Mark and Diane know that still to this day they are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that they find strength and peace in God, and in each other. I also pray for the extended family and all the friends left behind. I hope all those effected by this tragedy will be comforted in the Lord.

Though I never really knew Rachel, or any of the Schultz family, my heart goes out to them.

April 14, 2009

Schultz, I've been thinking bout you a lot lately man and everything you mean to me. Can't wait til we meet again after what a long strange trip its been. Keep watching over us all.

April 2, 2009

Love you. Always have. Always will.

hi Schultz. I've been thinking about you and Erica a lot today...as usual. It truly is a blessing to have such great memories of you and the amazing times we had...I think of those times a lot, so you can stay vivid in my mind forever...as you were just a few years ago. I miss you so much. We all do. The world would be a better place with you here, but I know you're smiling that wonderfully warm smile wherever you are today.

You're a beautiful soul Alex, and you'll always be in my heart.

Maggie Pope

Keep everyone strong!

Hi there.
This message is for the person who posted on october 19 from Richmond.
You're post has worried a lot of people in the richmond community as well as myself.

As a young person i hope you can take what I say to heart.
I am extremely glad your trying to get help. Do not hesitate to get more help, try medications, even hollistic therapy. Use a support group such as your friends and family; they love you for who you are.
I know it may seem as if you've dug yourself into a dark hole that theres no way out of, but thats not true. There's always great things to look forward to. I want you think about a wedding, maybe holding your first child.
Throughout my experiences i have learned that I need to appreciate each and every day, and make myself happy.
I want you to keep your head up, try your best, because it can only get better from the bottom.

stay positive. for your friends, your family, you future, but most importantly for yourself. Be smart. I hope you achieve great things.

Thank you so much for remembering Alex and how wonderful he was. We all miss him terribly.

Please don't hesitate to contact me, anonymously or not.
xoxo

October 19, 2008

Alex,
I've been thinking about you like crazy. You know what I'm going through... I've been so depressed... in and out of the hospital... in therapy. I'm trying to get help, but I'm so down, and I feel so helpless. I need your help man. And the 23rd is coming up... and I just keep looking to you. Help me Alex. Please. We love you. We miss you. We will always think of you, everyday. Continue to be there for everyone!

To all who cared about Alex. Be sad, shed a tear, but remember that he has only gone a few minutes before the rest of us ...... and we are CERTAIN of this - we will be re-united with those we cherished. The time between his passing and ours is but a spect in time. So laugh, be happy, He would want it that way. he is only a few steps ahead of us.
