Karen, your family, your friends are in my prayers and in the prayers of my pray circle of friends. I've learned a lot this past year about love. I wish there was a way to help ease the pain. May God shine his blessings on all.

Phil & Karen, Words are hard to come by in a time like this. But God kind of gave me words of comfort when my parents died by letting me know they are in a better place. They can't call me, e-mail me, send me letters, or pictures where they're at now. Thats not how God has it planned. But if they could contact me now they would say something like this-"Wait til you get here son. This is like the best vacation we ever had." I hope this encourages you both. I will keep praying for you. Your brother in Jesus, love John Szasz

She is Gone By Anonymous You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back or you can open your eyes and see all she's left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see her or your heart can be happy because it is full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she's gone or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Phil: May God grant you and your wife comfort and peace in this hour of saddness; and may the memory of Leah and the joy that she brought into your lives sustain you in the months and years ahead. Take satisfaction in knowing that she is now in a far better place.

My prayers are with you. I work with Bev at Ford Payroll and I had a child die in 1989. I know that there is nothing that anyone can say that will take away your pain right now. Things will get better and God is watching over you and Leah. If you ever need to talk to someone who's been there, feel free to send me an e-mail or call me - Bev can get my number. I think that your site about what to say is a perfect site for people to look at to know how to act. There will be many people who will not know what to say or do. To anyone who is reading this who will be around the family, one thing I noticed is that everyone was there for a few days and then everyone vanished and me and my family were kind of left wondering what happened. The family will need you for longer than just thru the services. The best thing you can do is treat them normally and do the things you always did.

What words can I write that will make the pain more bearable...none, I'm certain. I keep asking myself, why? It must not be meant for us to find out yet-why this kind of thing happens, why it had to happen to Leah, why all the other innocent children, but if we remember how many beautiful things took place over the past year maybe it will help us get through this moment, this hour, this day. For me, I was able to appreciate all the people in my life so very much - every single day. And I have Leah to thank for that. She gave everybody a lesson on how you should live your life and not take it for granted. It's not the numbers of moments that count, it's what you do with the moments-and all of you - Leah,family,friends-did wonderful things with every moment. Karen, YOU and your family were the one to make Leah's heart happy. Thank you for letting us us all be a part of it through your words. Leah---watch over mommy, daddy and Kylie too. Wrap your beautiful angel wings of love around then and give them peace and strength!
