I hope that someone will see this. I felt my heart drop when his photo came on in the casket - I just don't know how you are getting through this, but I KNOW his death will help so many other children. I don't really know what else to say, but I do know that I have been telling everyone I know about the dangers of drowning. Thank you so much for your video. My thoughts are with you and your family.I think you are an incredibly stong woman. I am glad that you are getting a chance to make some changes for the betterment of all of our children. Thank you.Something good out of something tragic. What a beautiful tribute and awareness video thank you for sharing and God bless you. Keep us posted on how the radio interview goes.
I am so glad to hear that you are making something good out of this tragic event...you are so strong, and will help so many others!
Your video was beautiful! Thank you for sharing this.
Take care and you will forever be in my heart.
U r an absolutely amazing person -thank you so much for doing all this...He was such a beautiful boy. God bless you and your family. Thank you for making this video to help us all realize how precious life is. You are truly admirable.Kedan reminds me so much of Mikey who loves water and has no fear of it. Its a beautiful and moving video that invokes so many different emotions and creates awareness at the same time. Thank you !!
Thanks for doing this. I do believe you are saving lives and you are an amazingly strong woman for doing this.
After all of these tragedies, I signed my son up for swim lessons and he is taking them now. We have also had LOTS of talks about water safety. He followed the Benjy Heil story while it was in progress (he overheard me talking about it) and we prayed for him every night and then he wrote a card to them. I am hoping this raises his awareness of what can happen. We are fortunate that he has never been a runner, but you just never know...
Thanks again for being here and for sharing this. It must be incredibly painful for you and yet you have found a way to go on... I just can't thank you enough.
I have just visited your tribute and cried along with you. Though I am new to the board I want you to know that you are now in my thoughts and prayers. Kevin my autistic grandson also loves the water so I will be keeping an eye out for him.
Just last night we were out at the fireworks competition here in Sherbrooke Quebec and I was thinking how dangerous he can be at times because he is always too trusting has no sense of danger and just walks off without a care in the world anyone could take off with him or he could just simply walk into trafic. I know he is 12 and might be in a lot less danger than others but it is still worrysome.
Though I don't know what you are going through with the loss of your son but I did lose my first husband 14 years ago in a car crash after 22 years of marriage and the only thing I can honestly say to you right now is this.>>>>>>.
as time goes on the pain does not ever go away but after a while an hour will go by and life was just a little easier to take. and before you know it you can get through one day then a week and a month.
Will the pain ever go away but in a shile you will learn how to turn your pain in to some of the most joyous memories you and your beautiful little angel shared
Tons of Hugs

Thanks so much. Talking and posting about it really helps me in some way. It also shows me what great people there are in sending all their love and prayers. It moves me even mor eto help others.
The news things went good. I only had to stop and cry once I think its cause they wanted to video it outside around where it happened.

Your tribute was beautiful. I can't believe how brave and strong you have been through this all. Thank you for the great example of how to take tragedy and turn it into a wonderful thing that will benefit so many other families. You did a great job in your TV interview. I sent your video and the news article to my relatives so that they will ALL be more aware. Your family is so brave and wonderful. Thank you again for sharing your story and your heart.
