Ralph is recovering from a bone marrow transplant he received for his lymphoma in August. He is doing so much better but still has a weak immune system and is unable to go out in crowds. We will not be able to attend the funeral but we send our condolences.
We live in Swan Valley and would love to have you stop in if you come this way.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Ray, we know you must have been the best Dad ever to him. He is probably preparing a place for his family to come. Sounds like he was a very special little boy. Thank goodness for our Church. We know we will see them again some day. What a great day that will be!!!
We love you.

Dear Ray and Patti,
We are so sorry for your loss. My son Ethan was in Cameron's class last year at Montessori and is in class with Rebecca this year. I remember last year car-pooling Cameron to a show at the Colonial for a field trip. He was so well-behaved and polite. He and Ethan held hands when they were walking back to the car so that they would be safe crossing the street. Ethan was sorry that he wasn't in his class again this year at Montessori. We wish there were a way we could help you carry this burden of pain and loss. You are all in our prayers and thoughts. Karen, Scott, Ethan and Jenna

Dear Family, I do not know you or your family however, I feel compeled to send you a note. Tragic accidents such as this tend to rock a community and have such unknown far reaching affects. I want to write to you as a mother who has indeed suffered the loss of a child as I lost a. 11 and 12 year old, 2 years apart and I do know and understand the depth of your indescribable pain. I want to offer not only my condolences but also my encouragement. While this is such a dark time for you and your family, and unfortuntately you will have more dark times to come, Please never lose sight of the fact that you will make it through this and there is hope. I promise you that. You will. You will also be a better person because of it. However, I know that does not give you much comfort right now. Please rely on those people that are there to help you. Don't shut them out they are a support system that you will never know you had. I am so sorry of this loss. So many questions, so few answers. We all know that eventually, the answers will be there. Please know you are in my heart and in my prayers and I continue to keep you there.

Dear Suitter Family,
You don't know us, but we are thinking of you and your family at this time. It's never easy to hear of someone's great loss. That's why we had to write to you. We will be moving into a house on Majestic View Dr. in the new few months and know that you must live somewhere near us. We have just felt so sad for your family and the great loss that this is. Your little son looks adorable. We are sure that he made a huge impact on those around him in his 6 short years here on the earth. I'm sure the road ahead for your family will be hard as you continue to get through this most difficult time, but know that our loving Savior is there to help you through. He truly does know the sorrow and pain that you feel. Continue anchoring on to Him and you will again see the light. You will see your son again. Please know that there are people that don't even know you that are praying for your family because we all realize that this could easily be us. No one ever knows what tomorrow will bring. We wish you much peace and comfort and that you might feel our Heavenly Father's love for you at this time.
Sincerely,
Dan & Pattie McLaughlin

Patty and family,
I cannot begin to express how my heart breaks for you at this time in the loss of your dear son. Know my thoughts and prayers are with you and you are not forgotten at this time, there are many people that are praying for you, rely on that strenght to get you through. You have a wonderful mom and dad and sisters that I know will be there for you when you need them. Cry when you need to it is healing, I once heard someone say that each tear you shed now and over the years to come for a loved one that has died is an honor to them because it shows you love and miss them and they are in your heart to stay and to never be ashamed to shed those tears at any place or at any time.
I send my heartfelt sympathy and will continue to pray for you all,
Sincerely,
JoAnne
