Ray, Jen, Samantha & Jessie -
We have no words sufficient to express the sorrow we feel at your loss; There truly is another angel in Heaven. Thaddeus joins their legions and is now one of them whom "the Lord will command (His angels) to guard you in all your ways" (Psalm 91:11). May God bless and keep you all as only He can.

Jenny,Ray, Samantha and Jessica,
Kris has always spoken so highly of
Thaddeaus(and the girls, too.) He sounds like a wonderful boy and I am
so thankful he had a family who loved him so dearly. I feel almost as
if I knew him through Kris-so even though I never met him, his life,
and the way he faced adversity, was a blessing to me. It makes me
wonder who else was
touched by him in some way- I am sure there are so many... Please know
you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am sorry you have
to endure this sad time. Janet Carroll(friend of Kris)

Jenny,
It has been a long time since we have seen or heard from each other, but you have always been in my thoughts. I was very saddened to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this trying time. You always were a very special person who I loved to be around, and I can see in your sons picture that he looked a lot like you. I 'm sure he was as special as you. Much love to you and your family. Your high school pal, Brenda Herman(Miller).
