I had the opportunity to be with the family on Saturday and felt so much sorrow for everyone involved yet the family is so strong holding together. You can never say anything positive about a child being taken from this world especially one so young and so active. I never had the chance to meet Blaine yet I feel that I knew him through his relatives Audrey, Barbra, Christine.



A friend of the family.

Dear Mark & Kathy -



I can't imagine what you are going through and I hope I never have to. Although we never had the pleasure of meeting Blaine, just knowing he was your son is enough for us to know he was a great kid. He will always be in our prayers. God Bless the Molaro family.

Crissie Penney (Kristie)

June 22, 2002

We just wanted the Molaro family to know that we are thinking of you at this time of sorrow and hoping you will find comfort in warm memories of Blaine. I will never forget the look on Beanie's face as she showed me pictures of "her Blaine" and Jaclyn.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all!



"When I'm gone from your side,

and all the tears have been dried

Do not stand at my grave and weep,

I am not there, I do not sleep.



I am a thousands winds that blow;

I am the diamond glints on snow,

I am the sunlight on the ripened grain;

I am the gentle autumn's rain.



When you awaken in the morning hush,

I am the swift uplifting rush

of quite birds in circled flight,

I am the stars that shine at night.



And when you stroll in the evening hours, and catch the aroma of beautiful flowers

There'll be no need to sob and cry;

I am not there, I did not die!

I am an Angel in the Sky!"

To the Molero Family;



We extend our sincere sympathy to you and all of your extended family at this very difficult time in your life. Losing a child, no matter the circumstances if something that no parent should even experience.



Our office shared many of Blaine's growing moments through his Aunt Barb. It was our pleasure to know Blaine as the fine young man that he was. He was cetainly loved and cherished by many.



Our thoughts and prayers will be with all of you and Blaine.

Patrice LaBelle

June 21, 2002

Dear Kathy, Mark and Jaclyn: Please accept my condolences on your tragic loss of Blaine. May you find some comfort in the beautiful memories you have from the last 12 years.



"It is hard to remain in the world and not feel part of it--to watch others rush about like nothing has changed when everything has. Grief makes you feel alone, yet you do have a place in the world and others who care for you... There is still beauty and meaning in life, and you will find it again. For now, it is enough to rest, to mourn, and to wrap yourself in your memories. The world can wait."



With caring thoughts and deepest sympathy.

Kimberly Kristie

June 21, 2002

Dear Mark, Kathy, Jaclyn and Family,

"Shadows fall and life becomes so difficult to bear...Yet sunshine comes through memories and the love of those who care." Words simply do not express the sympathy I feel for the Molaro family. To know Blaine has touched my heart. I will miss him instant messaging me "hello's" and seeing his beautiful eyes at family gatherings. My heart is crying with all of you. You are ALL in my thoughts and prayers.

With all my love, Kim Kristie (Beanie's best friend)

As devastating as this is now for all that loved Blaine, over time you will realize just how much this tragic event will have changed many lives.

Young and old, people he touched are realizing his love of life and desire to have fun are necessary priorities for their lives.

He was a model for all of us to learn from.

God bless you... and, as you know, he did for twelve wonderful years.

Dear Mr, and Mrs. Molaro:



I don't know if you remember me, but I was Blaine's religious ed. teacher this year at St. Mary's.



I can't say that Blaine was a stellar student, but he was always one of my favorites. I cried for a long time when I heard the news. I can't even begin to imagine the anguish you feel. There are no adequate words when someone so full of life is taken so soon. I will pray for all of you and hope that your pain will some day be eased.



I would never have forgotten Blaine (he was that kind of a kid!), but now I will hold him dearly in a special place in my memory.



I hold you all in my prayers.
