A day doesn't go by that Devon is not loved and thought of. Memories flash, and I also get to see him in other's. I am so grateful of at least having the too short time to know and love him. Even though losing him still causes me to tear up, it also brings such a smile and feeling of love.

Dear Brenda, Erich and Dwight; I don't think any words could convey how sorry that Irene and I feel for your family at this time. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to chat, for couple of minutes, about school and such with Devon last week when he was into the Dealership. You're right Brenda when you said that he was a gentle person --- that came through just in the short time that we talked. May God grant you extra grace at this time. Love Gary and Irene

Dear Brenda Erich and Dwight. Please know that many people in and about this community share in the immense grief and emptiness, I know your hearts are feeling. We were so and will remain, saddened to hear of Devon's passing. It is truly nothing short of cruelly unfair. No Mother, Father or siblings should ever have to go through the awful grief and despair of burying their child. It is by far the saddest thing any set of parents have to do. I have not stopped thinking about you guys since the night of the accident. I pray for you and your families. Keeping all of you in our thoughts and in our prayers Deepest Sympathy Abe and Alyssa Thiessen.

Dear Erich, Brenda and Dwight: My deepest heartfelt sympathy goes to each of you. The following is a poem that I hope you may find some comfort in during this most difficult time; ASCENSION And if I go, While you're still here... Know that I live on, Vibrating to a different measure -- behind a thin veil you cannot see through, You will not see me, So you must have faith. I wait for the time when we can soar together again, --both aware of each other. Until then, live your life to the fullest. And when you need me, Just whisper my name in your heart, ...I will be there.
