Dearest Courtlandt, I'm sure you and your Mom are now reunited with your arms around each other. I know it must have been a grateful and loving reunion and now you and your beatiful Mother are together eternally. We will miss her greatly...my heart is sad for our loss but full of joy for your reunion.

Courtlandt, you were a beautiful light that went out too soon. We will always cherish the fun and funny times. Hanging out with you, your siblings, our children and all the pets we had surrounding us was a wonderful time. Your mom and I had such a great time with all of our blessings and were so grateful. And, I loved the trips to Kings Dominion with your dad and I with all you kids. It was a special time. Halloween was always so special and fun to see all you beautiful children running around in our neighborhood so happy. The pictures still bring a warmth to my heart. We miss you. And, your mommy trained the famous Bo. You would have loved him. He is a beautiful dog. You left too too soon.

I miss you very much and I know we lost touch once we both left Grace, only if facebook existed then. I always loved going to your house when we were little because you had so many dogs and you knew how much I love animals and playing in your pool. I carry your prayer card in my wallet and will continue to do so... well forever. I know we'll be friends again in another lifetime.<3

Mommy misses you sooo very much. I wish you were here to share with me the joy, and success of becoming the 'First Trainer' to the 'First Dog Bo' who is now the family dog to the President of the Unites States, and his family. Not a night goes by when I see you in all my dreams, and not a day goes by in which I think of you, miss you, and love you so very much. Peace is with you now finally. I will see you someday again my love.

Dearest Dawn,
I haven't spoken to you in some time and after looking at your Merit website, I read through all of the messages for Courtlandt and the family and find tears in my eyes. You and I became fast friends, had some very fun times and then Courtlandt was taken away. Now, two years later, I cannot believe this beautiful girl is gone and I still wish I could have met her. From all of her friends memories, she sounded fun and witty and had a personality that reflected your charm and charisma. What a gift to have spent time with you in Warrenton and I hope your life, Paige's and Blaise's are are filled with blessings and goodness. I can tell I would have adored Courtlandt as I do you! I want to give you a hug as this difficult anniversary approaches and want you to know I am here for you anytime.

Hey Courtlandt. I was sitting around and thought of you. I wish i would have talked to you my freshmen year of college. It has taught me to keep close ties with the friends you love. I had so much fun with you in high school and I'm glad you were one of my closest friends. You me and Em were crazy. I always think of you and wonder how different it would be if you were still here. You could have come hung out at radford with me or even gone to a school near by. I wrote an 8 page essay for my freshmen year english class the week you died. It said a lot of great things about you, all true. We all envied you, you never feared anything and were open to everyone. You were burried in my turtle neck. Don't worry I don't want it back but I just wanted to let you know it meant a lot to me when I saw you in it. I love you and wish you were still alive.

Courtlandt, I just found out about your death recently. I had always tried to find you on facebook and all these other places. I know your in heaven now watching down on everyone. I still have so many good memories of you from middle school and I still have that giraffe you gave me for Christmas. It was such a sweet gift and it will give me something to always remember you by. I miss you and you will always be in my prayers.

Hey Courtlandt, we did not know each other very well but for the brief time we did I thought you were an amazing person. I was having a tough day my freshman year and ran into you in the bathroom. You asked me what was wrong and we just talked for a while. You were so kind and you helped me alot. I was with the choir in South Calolina when I heard of your death. All of us were devistated. There were 6 of us and we all went to the ocean in the middle of the night and threw flowers into the waves in your memory. All of us slept in the same bed and just talked about you all night and told stories about you. You were taken away too soon but I can only hope you are in a better place.

Hey Courtlandt, dont know if you would of expected me to write, after all we never really knew each other, but still you were a wonderful person. I have to apologize for not being there at the funeral, I was having a great spring break and did not keep my ear to the ground. I learned about all that happened the following Monday and well that was the day of the funeral. I'm really really sorry.

Well, Courtlandt you were a wonderful person that everyone looked forward to being with. It was always great when I was with you and I wish I had gotten to know you better.

Courtlandt,

Has it really been a year? I can still remember where I was when I got the horrible phone call. I was on my way to go tanning, and Meaghan Duffy called me and told me the sad news. When I heard the word "killed" I felt like a knife had just gone into my heart. I almost got into a wreck myself because my eyes started to well up with tears. I had to pull over into the nearby 7-11, and I told Meaghan I'd call her back because I had a call on the other line...but I lied. I really just needed to cry. I'll never forget it because the song "Bad Day" was playing on the radio. Now, everytime I hear it, I think of you. I never did get around to going tanning that day, I just wanted to sit in my room and cry and think. You didn't deserve this Courtlandt, but know that we haven't forgotten about you, and we never will. Rest in peace girly.

P.S. Thanks for keeping all the Ireton alumni at Tech safe.

P.P.S To Courtlandt's Family: I have been thinking of you all day. I know today is extremely painful. Please know that you are not alone. And when it's our turn, we'll see her again :)

Courtlandt,

You have been gone for alittle over a year now... And for some unexplained reason I just realized it. Took me long enough huh? I have been e-mailing your loving mother that might be part of the reason I am coming to terms with your death. Also, I am going home tomorrow which has been hard since you've been gone... I have no one that I want to hang out with. You were my best friend and I know times were hard and we were drifting but never in spirit. You are unreplaceable. I have yet to meet someone that I can create such an amazing bond with, be completly comfortable with- to the point of saying some wacky things- and always have such an amazing time. I remeber how you were there for me and invited me into your home when times were hard. Thank you. I hope I will never truly realize that you are gone because that will just be too hard. "Signing" your guest book is hard. I have not stopped crying. I miss you and I will never stop missing you. I found a pair of your lounge shorts... and I wear them all the time. Your last name is writted around the band area. Sorry I have them, but I'm glad because pictures are just not enough. I will always think about our amazing memories we created together... gosh we were crazy sometimes!!! I love you. And I think would would be so proud of me right now. And I bet we would be going shopping together... we loved to shop. I look forward to meeting you at the gates my love...

A friend of mine died in a car accident in August 2005. She gave this poem to one of her friends after a surgery. I hope it gives you a little comfort.

You will see Courtlandt again someday! My thoughts and prayers are with you always...

Don't Quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will, when the road you're trudging seems all uphill, when the funds are low and the debts are high, and you want to smile but you have to sigh, when care is pressing you down a bit, rest if you must but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, as every one of us sometimes learns, and many a failure turns about, when you might have won had you stuck it out. Don't give up, though the pace seems slow- you may succeed with another blow. Success is failure turned inside out- the silver tint of the clouds of doubt, and you never can tell how close you are; it may be near when it seems so far. So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit- it's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Courtlandt...after everything that you and I went through, I always admired who you were on the inside. You and I had some rough times, and everyone knows that! But there was always something about you that I admired. I wanted to know you better. I wanted to figure you out. And I think you wanted the same with me. I just don't think we had enough time together. I am so glad that we ended cordially. I hope you have found peace in heaven. I'll always consider you MY FRIEND. Thank you for teaching me so much. I'll forever be thinking about you...

Dearest Dawn,

It's been too long, since I've seen you. Time has passed quickly, and what a beautiful young woman she had grown to be. I can't even imagine what you're going through and I'm so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts, and I can only wish the very best for all the days ahead. Please know that if there's ever anything I can do... Love Always,

Dawn,



We are so sorry for your loss. There just aren't words to express the overwheling sense of loss one feels when losing a loved one, especially a beautiful daughter like Courtlandt was.



I know she's happy in heaven with the pets and other family you've lost along they way.



I truly believe that loved ones never really leave you and that she watches over you with a smile all the time.

Dawn, Paige & Blaise~

They say you can't choose your family but you can choose your friends, how fortunate I was to find a friendship that turned into "my family". I am so grateful and thankful for the time and memories I spent with all of you. So sorry that Courtlandt's time was cut short before we had a chance to make even more. Let's celebrate this day she was born and take comfort in knowing she graced so many of us with her gift of laughter and joy. You will always live on in our thoughts and hearts.

July 10, 2006

Dearest Dawn,

I was so sorry to hear about the tragic loss of Courtlandt. You are in my prayers -- what an incredibly difficult time this is for you. You are an amazing person and I pray that the Lord will give you strength. With love,

I don't know any of you, but I was on the meritpuppy website looking for a trainer and I saw the notice of Courtlandt's death. Having lost a loved one in a car accident (1997), I know the pain. I just wanted to offer my condolences, and for what it's worth, it does get easier. No one can tell you when or how... but it will happen. Until then, I wish you peace.

I didn't know Courtlandt personally but when my son was a new student at Bishop Ireton she was his very first friend. He spoke of her fondly and I mourn for your loss. No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

Dawn, I've known you now for 33 years, you are without a doubt the best friend anyone could ever hope to have. I was there when Courtlandt was born and can still see you holding her in your arms at the hospital. The sheer joy she brought to you made my heart burst with joy for you, Yes she was your miracle baby. And now my heart breaks for your loss of her. My children grew up with your children and the good times and memories will live with us forever. I love you, Blaise and Paige more than I could ever express and I know Courtlandt is at peace...finally.

I have known Courtlandt and her brother and sister since I was six years old. My most prized childhood memories are moments I spent with them. Moments of pure innocence, where frogs and bunny rabbits made the best pets and food always managed to repel itself off your plate and onto your clothing. A time when the afternoon hours were spent in the backyard pool and your only worry was that your mom was going to pick you up after the last patient in the office downstairs had left. We would ride our bikes all over the neighborhood on a frequent basis. One of my best memories of Courtlandt was during one of our bike rides as young kids, when she rode down a steep hill in the neighborhood with her feet and arms fully extended at her sides as her bicycle only increased in speed as we, the rest of the gang, followed worriedly in pursuit. Once she even rode her bike into the swimming pool and we just cheered and laughed as she smiled back from the cool water. Trips to Discovery Zone and Kings Dominion were among our favorite hangout spots. We even learned what the phrase “reproduce like rabbits” meant. My rabbit and Courtlandt’s had babies and then their bunnies had babies because we mistakenly grouped the largest rabbit named Bear with the males, when in reality it was actually just a big girl. After the third or fourth litter we realized that the bunny business was one best left to the professionals at the local pet shop, to whom Mrs. Stasiewicz donated all the rabbits, all except for the founding parents and a gray bunny I named Smokey for its light gray coat, which I still have today. We have experienced our entire adolescence together, and have grown up together. I love these guys with all my heart, they are not just friends they are part of my family. Courtlandt was always so witty and quick to make a joke. Her company was a place of familiarity, one I have known since kindergarten, and now that its gone I feel as if a part of me has died as well. Her smile and radiant charisma was contagious, and will never be forgotten by all of those who knew her. I especially will never forget her, and will always have a place in my heart where memories of her will stay alive for as long as I live.

Courtlandt and I sure had some interesting times... I'll always remember that she was so awesome because we both shared the same birthday. Reading these other comments... Courtlandt brought a light where it was only previously whispered. She just had a way of being herself that was so original, so genuine. Courtlandt was the perfect example of humanity... I suppose I can only offer condolences to her family, who must miss her so terribly. She was an amazing human-being. I'm very glad... and appreciative to have been a part of her life, and to have had her as a part of mine.

Though I never met you and Courtlandt in person, I knew you through phone calls, cards and most of all through Susan's heart. You all are so special and dear to us. Susan never lets a day go by that she does not tell me a funny story about you all. Please know our thoughts are with you and anything we can do, we will always be here for you as we have been. I hope one day soon I have the great gift of meeting you all in person.

I did not know Courtland, however I did speak with Dawn upon signing up for Merit Puppy Training. Dawn's beautiful, and kind natured spirit, along with her gentle encouraging words, urged me to sign up for the class. From these lovely photos and beautiful words spoken about Courtlandt, I am sure Courtlandt's personality reflected that of her mother's. She will be a beautiful addition to the angels watching over all of us. My prayers are with you, family and friends of Courtlandt, God Bless you.

Courtlandt~

Where do I begin.. years ago when I first met you and your family, you were such a little spitfire. Always so full of spunk and quick to give me a hard time. You reminded me so very much of myself at that age. I will cherish the time we had together working on school projects and doing homework. I guess it is okay to say now you always turned that smile on and charmed me into doing them for you! We didn't talk much after I moved to San Diego, but I always kept up with you through your mom. I am glad in the recent months we had a chance to reconnect. Deb and I were so proud of you when you called and said you had the new job. We knew you could go forward and do all that we talked about. We had such faith in you and know that whatever happened it was not your fault. You will always have a special place in our hearts and we will miss you. Just know that we are always with you. Kisses to the hands and feet. Take care of Merit, Jock, Ebony and Jasmine and they will take care of you. There is a star up in the sky with your name on it shining as bright as your smile~

My dearest Courtlandt, words can not express the sadiness and sorrow I felt when we got the call that you had passed on, you were very special in your own way, and for that you were so special to me...The three of you will always be my little kiddy's...Doc and Dawn thank you for Courtlandt! I will miss her greatly...Your play uncle Frank, from your dad's office...TAKEN FROM US TO SOON!

Courtlandt was my very best friend since third grade at St. Rita's Catholic School. She called me almost a year ago to say happy birthday, even thought it was on the 25th of April. She told me that I had her permission to call her a week late. I laughed. I went to Europe for American Music Abroad, and then when I got back the day of her birthday, I waited about 2-3 days and called her. She never answered her phone. So I left her a message instead.



The last time I saw her in person was about two years ago at a track meet at my school. I have been waiting to hear from her so that I could invite her to my birthday get-together this week. I was devastated when I heard this afternoon. I know that she's in a good and peaceful place right now. I hope she's having fun, and knowing her, she might be causing a bit of an uproar too. I still can't believe it happened, but I know that I have many fond memories of her that I will always cherish.

“Blessed be . . . the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation.”—2 Corinthians 1:3, 4.

I am truly sorry for your lost, but in your time of grief it's comforting to know God is there for you and that He has a purpose for mankind to be resurrected to life in Paradise on earth. The loss of someone so close is difficult to bear. We share your grief.

I was her science teacher at the Interim Education Program. She was a delight to have in class. She was very friendly and helpful to other students. My last memories of her were laughing and joking during art class. My Condolences go out to the Stasiewicz Family. I will keep them in my prayers.
