I'm sorry for the loss of your family members. It saddens me to hear that a little baby had to passaway. I live in texas but I seen the guestbook and it touched me to see how many people loved that little baby and his loving mom. I wish the family well, and I hope your grief lessens with everyday that passes.

I am so sorry for this family's loss. I went to school with Kris last year and I know how much he loved his sister and his nephew. I am sure they are watching over their family from Heaven and are their guardian angels. You are in my thoughts and prayers. (Kris if you ever need anyone to talk to just know that im here for you okay? call me anytime...)

My deepest sympathy to Nicole's family. Nicole worked where I work.
She was such a bubbly young lady and
loved her little boy so much. She talked about him all the time. I will miss her - she stopped by my desk and always talked of her love for her little boy. May the Lord bring peace to the family.

I too, do not know the family, but am sadden but such a tragic loss. I cannot imagine the families pain or grief. A very good friend of mine lost her life on Oct.9, and her baby daughter is fighting for her life now, in the same situation as your family. I will keep your family, and my friends in prayer.
Take comfort in knowing God is with you, as well as your loved ones whom HE holds hands with now.

To the Donovan and Westerhoff families, I am so sorry for your loss. I went to high school with Nicole, I considered her a very good friend. I haven't seen her since Devin's baby shower, but I know she was happy, she was gonna be one the world's greatest mothers, that is what I thought when I was at the baby shower. She was always such a giving and caring person, such a beautiful person inside and out. I think anyone who had the pleasure of spending any time with Nicole was lucky, she was there for you whenever you needed a shoulder to cry on or to just sit around and laugh about all the stupid things you used to do. The world suffered a great loss, when Nicole and Devin were taken from us on October 10th. I believe God had a bigger plan for them in mind, they are safe, and they are together. Nicole and Devin, heaven's newest angels, you will be missed very much, and know that although I didn't see you in a long time, you are always going to be in my heart and my thoughts. I love you.

I did not know Nicole or Devin, but as a mom of a young son, I was so upset that a young mother and her child were killed so senselessly. They both had so many years ahead of them and I know it must be so hard to comprehend how something so horrible can happen. My sympathies and prayers go out to the family members at this time and I really pray justice is done in this case so further tragedies like this can be prevented.

Harry,
Carol and I cannot find words to express our sympathy and sorrow for your tragic loss. We can only offer you our friendship and love and we will always remember with joy your beautiful wife and son. Ever since we met your family that evening in the Chinese restaurant in West Chicago, we have thought of you, Nicole and Devon as a very special family, in a way a part of ours. I always enjoyed chatting with Nicole by your apartment and especially looked forward to seeing Devon, who was always curious about what I was doing. While we cannot possibly understand the depth of your grief, your loss is also ours. But we are confident that you will regain your footing and find happiness and fulfillment in your life. You and Nicole showed us maturity well beyond your years. And we believe that that will help provide you the strength and courage to move beyond your immediate grief. You and your fmaily will always have a special place in our hearts and we hope and pray that you find some peace and comfort in knowing we share your sorrow...Jeff and Carol
