My thoughts and prayers go out to Adam's family and friends.I witnessed so much pain in the eyes of his friends at the visitation and saw the love they had for him and each other. It is my prayer that his friends keep their promises to each other and remember all of us feel pain differently. Be there for one another.Be strong for one another. Make goals and help each other achieve them. As painful as Adam's passing was to each of you also remember what he wanted it to teach you. It's different for each of you and I believe every person knows the lesson he or she was supposed to learn. Stop during this busy season and think what you and Adam would be doing together and do someting to make him proud or something that would have made him laugh or just smile. Take time to remember your friendship with him and what it meant to both of you.Adam is watching over each and every one of you and he expects great things from you so seize the day and celebrate a few moments of silence to remember what a wonderful friend he was and what he meant to you.Happy Holidays!!!!

To Adam's family, I have delayed in coming here to express my deep sympathy for your family because it seems so very unreal. It seems as though it were only yesterday that Drew was telling me of his new best friend, Adam. I toted them around in my car before they could drive and shooed them out of trouble whenever I was able. What a beautiful young man Adam became(crazy hair and all)! There are no words. So many people have tried to console our family since the loss of Drew, and there have been no comforting words. The only comfort has been the knowledge that both of these incredibly wonderful boys are loved so dearly and will be missed so greatly. My thoughts will always be with you. Every time I picture the overly-confident smile of Drew's, I will also see that beaming smile of Adam's. There is no one without the other.

With love, Drew's cousin-Kim

For all the tears out there that cried for our dear friend, Adam, I can say that I was one of the out there. I knew Adam since Kindergarden and graduated with him in 1999. We were never really the best of friends, but we knew each other. I will miss Adam a great deal as I'm sure lots more will too. This will forever remain a tragedy in my life, for this should have never happened. Adam we will miss you and will forever remember you. I will care for you always

To The Bonette Family: we do not know one another personally, but I was very sad to hear about Adam. My daughter goes to MSM and said everyone liked him. We lost our 23 year old son Timothy on 9/5/03. I now cry (and pray) for all parents who've lost a child. There is a Bereaved Parents Group Chapter (National Organization) in Little Rock that meets monthly and I'm going for the 1st time 11/17. If you want to talk (phone 834-3805, email, in person, however you want!) get in touch. My heart aches for you. You are in my prayers and God holds Adam in the palm of his hand. Sincerely, Gayle Reynolds

My heartfelt condolences to your family. I know how terribly sad this is for you and how unfair it is to lose your son and brother who had his whole life before him. I lost my grandson on September 5; he was only 23 and in his first year of law school. I am so sorry; my thoughts and prayers are with your family.
