Faith Dremmer Obituary

hi Michele, it's Emily, Monika's daughter, im sorry about what happened, im still in denial even though i haven't seen her in years, i wish i came and visited when i had the chance, i just want you to know that you're a great person for raising a magnificent young woman. I still think about her everyday i hope you're doing well.

Dear Michele,
As a mom who gave all that she could towards a life that left endearing memories to all who meet and knew her I want to thank you. Your Faith's life will live on in the lives she has touched. It is people like you who are changing the world through their children.
You and Faith were meant for each other because she gave back to everyone the best that is in you.
As a mom I mourn your loss and I thank you for the life you've shared with everyone through Faith.

Michele, you don't know me. I read about you in the paper today. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I am thinking of you and wishing you strength. I can't imagine your broken heart. I read all these posts and I know Faith's light and life will shine on.

Michelle, I have just heard this terrible news. I am so sorry. Please know there are lots of old friends thinking of you now, holding you in our hearts.

Sincerely,

Peggy Gawiser Shecket

Dear Michelle, I am writing this from Australia. We met at a family reunion and shared a special bond together as we watched our beautiful, loved and cherised adopted children play together (Leah and Faith). We send our love to you and wish for you strength in abundance as you deal with this awful reality. Our sincere sympathy. Love Milt and Jen Golenberg

Dear Michele, I heard the saddest of news recently, and can't tell you how sorry I am. Please stay strong, and cherish the memories.

Miss working with you....

As a single woman, I also adopted a baby girl, now 10 years old, from China. I cannot stop thinking about you and your precious, wonderful Faith. I have been haunted by this and cannot stop crying as I put myself in your shoes...my deepest, deepest heartfelt sympathies to you, my kindred spirit, and know that Faith's spirit will live forever.

Michelle-

There are never any appropriate words to say at a time like this other than I am truly sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the pain you are feeling. I love the quote about you not saving Faith and that she saved you. I can recall the stories from when Faith first entered your life to our recent conversation at Starbucks about colleges and your daughter. She was a true blessing to us all. I wish I would have had the chance to know her other than the stories we exchanged between meetings. You could always tell how much she did change you. You were a good mother and you are a very kind friend. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

With sympathy,
Wayne Borsheim

Dear Ms Dremmer -- I so clearly remember your beautiful daughter, Faith, when she was studying for her Bat Mitzvah at Temple Sholom. I was Rabbi Tachman's Secretary at the time, and I recall you and I speaking quite often and trying to find a mutually conveient time for her appointments with Rabbi. Please accept my heartfelt condolences on your loss of your beautiful and talented child. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am haunted by this tragedy. As the mother of a high school senior and only child, I can only imagine your profound grief. May your memories of your lovely daughter sustain you. Peace be with you.

I am haunted by this tragedy. As the mother of an only child, senior in high school, I can only imagine what you must be going through. I am so terribly sorry for your loss and hope that your memories of your lovely daughter will somehow sustain you. Peace be with you,

Dear Michele.
You don't know me, but I am also a bereaved mother ( and, coincidentially also an adoptive mom). I read the paper this morning with tears in my eyes.
Please contact me if you feel the need to connect with someone who has been down this road of grief.

Michele,
May we extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family and friends. We, too, are the parents of a beautiful daughter of China. Please take comfort in knowing that your terrible burden of grief is shared with a much larger community. May the memory of Faith be for a blessing. God bless you.

We are all so very sorry for your loss. You are in our prayers. Kelsey Doolittle, Mike Doolittle, Doug Doolittle and Anne Beall

Dear Michele,

There are no words to express my deepest sympathy and sorrow for your loss. Faith will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I only know about this from News accounts but Faith sounds like a wonderful girl. It is so hard to raise good children and it is horribly tragic when they are lost prematurely so my heart goes out to you in this time of excruciating sorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with you Michelle. Thank you for raising a child who gave joy to so many who knew her.

Our family extends to you, Michelle,
our deepest love and prayers for strength in these overwhelmingly
pain filled days. Our hearts are broken over the loss of such a
beautiful and joy filled young woman. She is with God, and God is
very close to you.....so there is a closeness between
you and Faith. Know that thousands of Chicagoans are grieving
with you and praying for you. Susan Sandstrom

Michele,

Our prayers go out to you. Stay strong for faith.

Dear Michele,

I used to watch Rico & Shiloh and sometimes even Faith after school. I just saw Faith's tragic story on the news and my heart broke for you. In the moments I spent with the two of you, your unconditional love and dedication to one another was obvious, palpable and beautiful. I believe you will always be in each others hearts.

With my deepest sympathy,
Kathy Pollard

Dear Michelle- You don't know me but I wanted to extend my sorrow to you at this horrible time. I am also a single mother of a little girl from China. I wanted to reach out to you on behalf of myself but also fon behalf of my daughter. We are so very sorry about the loss of your little girl.

Michele, We worked together many years ago when you first came to Chicago. I remember when you went to get Faith, and always remembered the special meaning of the name you gave her, and how beautiful of a baby she was when you would stroll her down Mich. ave. I cannot fathom the grief you must feel at this difficult time, but my prayers are with you. margie ware nyberg

Michele ..

Your Faith will be forever with you ... she will be your strength to help you go on ... she is just in a different place now .. but always will be in your life. No words can truly comfort you .. but having had Faith for these short years will be your biggest blessing ... forever!

Oh, my sweet, beautiful Faithy, my heart is breaking. It was love at first sight when I first saw you in China 16 years ago. I was one of the first to fall in love with you so many years ago, and everyone you met since has fallen in love with you as well. That's just the way you were. I can't even put into words the loss for all of us. I will never forget your smile -- I will never forget you.

Lovingly,

Anna, Hannah, and Heidi
