Condolences & Memories (40 entries)

• I often think of your family, I pray for your entire family on this. I cried every day during the search for your beautiful little boy... Praying he would be found. I thought of your family today and that's not new your family's loss affected me. Probably due to the fact I was a new mom at the time to a son. I could never ever even possibly imagine what you're going through no one can. I just wish I could tell you people still pray for you... I am definitely one of them. All the best in life and I will always think of your family and your beautiful son Chase! May he be watching over you all! - Posted by: Brittany (None just a parent ) on: Jan 28, 2017

• I wish to send you a big hug with love and care to you as parents and to his big sisters....be kind to yourself and know that Chase is an angel now and that he is so thankful for the love and support he had during his short stay on this earth - he is still with you and will always feel your unending love and support - anyone of us who have had a 2 year old knows how one second they are beside you and the next, they have gone exploring. My oldest son never left my side, my youngest, darted any chance he could. There for the grace of God go I! One does not get closure, one just plows through life, one step at a time and over much time, gradually accepts their new normal. May God's unending love surround you and your family. - Posted by: Vee (fellow parent) on: Mar 30, 2016

• We did not the family or Chase BUT our hearts are hurting because of this loss of such a sweet little "cheerio-nosed" angel. God, please look after Chase as he is called home and please, please watch over his parents, siblings, many, many family members and friends as they deal with this tragic situation. Also, to the many people, including a lot of strangers, who searched for Chase, you helped a family find closure on a most tragic situation and now their little man is an ANGEL flying free and with the Angels in Heaven to watch over him. R.I.P. SWEET CHASE, YOU WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN!!! - Posted by: Randy and Dianne Spry (Winnipeg Citizens - didn't know Chase) on: Mar 30, 2016
