My heart aches for you-you were the first thought on my mind as I woke up this morning -for we are all mothers at heart and we all grieve the loss of another's child. God bless you today and in the upcoming days as you walk this rough, sorrowful path. Hugs- Diana
Please know that you are not alone. Even though I too have lost a child, I am always at a loss for words in a situation like this. I was just looking at your blog the other day - and thought the first day school pictures of your children were adorable. I believe this is your local chapter - it is the only group you never want to belong to - I am so sorry to 'welcome' you here.

You don't know me, but I want to tell you that I've been thinking of you almost non-stop since this awful news started ricocheting around the Internet. I am praying as hard as I can for your sweet boy and your whole family. I am so, so sorry and sad and I just don't know what else to say. Love and prayers your way from Jordan..
Anna, I am so sick over this. I've never met you, but I can't stop thinking about you. We are all here for you....even if you don't know us. I'm so so sorry for your loss. No words....just love and prayers. xoxo
I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your son. I will pray for you and your family, that God will grant you the strength and courage to make it through these dark days and the days and years to come, and that you can remember the joy and love that your son brought to your lives.
I have no words that will ease your pain... But I know that your beautiful son is in God's arms now, where nothing can hurt him again, and he can watch over you and your family. Our prayers are with you.
I have no words my beautiful friend ... only tears and love for you and your family. I will see you tomorrow and wrap my arms around you. Love you dear friend!
I've been thinking of you and your family since I heard about the loss of your beautiful son. Your family will be in our prayers. I am just so sorry for your tragic loss.
Sorry doesn't begin to express how much sorrow I feel for the tragedy that you and your family are enduring.
But that is what I am, sorry that you have to go through this tragedy, sorry that a beautiful life had to leave this earth so early, sorry that the waters of that creek were so strong that they could take him from you, sorry for the incredible pain that you have to endure, and sorry that your life had to change forever.
But the light around this darkness is that you are surrounded and loved by your community, church and friends, that your beautiful boy's soul will be in peace, and that life and love will help you go on and be happy again.
Anna.... I don't even know what to say. Words hardly seem like they can actually express how sorry I am about your loss. He is such a beautiful child. I am thinking about you and praying for you. xoxo Cat
So sorry for your loss. I know words can never describe what you and your family are going through...just know we are all sending prayers and love your way....
Anna, I don't know you, but I heard about the tragedy involving your son through several mutual friends. I am so sorry for your loss and extend my most sincere condolences. Nothing can make the loss any better, but you have the love and support of an entire community.
Anna, I just heard of your tragic loss via another blogger and am so incredibly sorry for you and your family. What a heartbreaking loss you've suffered. May memories help comfort you as you grieve. Many, many, many sympathies...
My prayers and condolences join those that surround you and your family at this awful time. May they comfort you and remind you that your beautiful boy is held in the hearts of so many people today.
I don't think there is any words I could say that would convey enough how sorry I am for your loss. I pray that God gives you strength that only He can give. I know this doesn't make the pain go away, but also know that your son is now in a better place.
Dear Anna... no words can express the sorrow...may God hold you dear and uplift you while family and friends surround you with love. This is a day for crying, for holding, for loving and cherishing, for remembering.
No words will heal this unimaginable horror for you. Know that so many are grieving with you. For you. My prayers are for you all to be able to find some small measure of peace in whatever way you can. What a terrible tragedy.
To the entire Donaldson Family - Words can not even express the sadness that I am feeling for your family. My son Jacob and Jack shared a few years together in Cub Scouts as well as some time together at Camp this past summer. He is truly an amazing boy and will always be remembered. I have been praying for you non-stop since I learned of this and will continue to do so. God Bless You and our little Angel Jack!
I am so sorry for the loss of your son.His life verse I shall now say daily.I was just asking GOD to give me a verse to say daily. My heart goes out to you.I am a mom of 3. Mary RENONFLYAHOO.COM
Anna, I don't know you but please know I am but one of many, many strangers holding you and your family in their hearts right now. My deepest condolences to you.
We lift up our prayers for God's comfort and strength to hold your family tight. Your son is so beautiful.Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family...
We have never met but have a few Facebook friends in common...I prayed for your family when it was first on the news and prayed even harder when I learned your names. My heart breaks for you and I wish there was something I could do to take away even a small piece of the pain. I am so sorry...
Anna - I came here through a link on Twitter. I live just down the road from you (in Springfield) and the thought of this happening in my neck of the woods is sobering. I have a 4 month old son and I have hugged him tighter since I heard. Praying for you and your family.
I'm thinking and praying and aching for you and your family. I'm so glad that you have the comfort of knowing he is with the Lord and you will see him again.
I am at a stand still for you and your family! Nothing but love and God's grace can ease your pain. We on the other side of the world and internet can only hold you and you family up in prayer. May God guide you and wipe every tear from your eyes. You will meet his again in the Holyiest of days.
I am one of many strangers who read about the tragic loss of your sweet boy and needed to let you know that I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I cannot imagine the pain you are feeling, but please know that my heart is breaking for you and I will continue to pray that God will comfort you throughout the days ahead. With my deepest sympathy, Suzanne.
I haven't stopped thinking about this since I read it. I prayed for you guys in church today and will continue to lift you all up. Today in service we were reminded that tragedy never has the final word. I know those aren't words that you can feel right now but I pray that you will find ways to honor the extraordinary life of your son soon. Blessings to your family!
I've been following you for a while and found out about your loss following a link from another blog yesterday. I haven't stopped thinking about you since. I am crying for you and with you. You are in my, and thousands of others, prayers.
I am in tears over your loss. I have never visited your blog, but I can tell from the photos of your son that he was sweet, kind, funny, and loving . . . and much loved as well.
i am praying for your family in this terrible time. i must tell you that it was of great comfort to me to see that you and your family cling to the only true One who can give you the strength to endure this. I know it must be a comfort to know he loved God and that God loves him and you. I pray Christ fills you with the love and strength only He can give. He will never leave you or forsake you.
Every parents nightmare, I can't even express how deeply sorrowful I feel for you. I pray you will get through this and help your sweet daughter cope w/the enormity of the loss. My heart feels for your family and the numbness that will settle in. God will walk this with you and see you through. God bless you, I am so sorry
Anna, I have literally been praying without ceasing ever since I heard about this tragedy. I will continue to do so. You don't know me, but I know of you-- I know your dad and we share many friends. I have been asking the spirit to intercede with groanings words cannot express, as there are no words.-Kim Copeland Mislock
I don't know your story but I came across a link on twitter. I'm so so very very sorry. I can't imagine what your family must be going through. I just wanted to say I share your pain. I lost my son three months ago and it's unimaginable pain. Sending prayers, love, and peace to you and your family.
I do not know you but am also a JMU grad(as well as greek sister from ASA) and from Vienna. We have some mutual friends. I also have a 12 year old son, your tragedy has struck me so hard. I have been praying for you ever since I heard. I also share a relationship with our Heavenly Father, as it sounds like you do. I am praying and will continue to pray. You are NOT alone.
I am another person who does not know you but am wrapping all of you in my virtual arms and praying for calm, peace and strength. Close your eyes - there are thousands of us out here who stumbled upon this and have added you to our prayers. Not all are writing, but all are praying.
I am close friends with Paula P and have had you and your family close in my heart and prayers since she called me Friday morning. I hope you are feeling the strength of all the prayers being prayed for your son and family.
There are no words to express the sympathy I have for you and your family. Your beloved son had the loveliest, happiest eyes - no doubt due to the home he lived in and the family who loved him.
May God's grace hold you close in the days and weeks ahead. As a mother of two I cannot fathom the pain of losing a child. But we both know that our heavenly father can. May He be your comforter now and forever.
As a mother of two sons I simply cannot fathom the hurt you must be feeling. Although you don't know me and this is my first visit to your beautiful blog I want you to know that I am praying for peace for you and your family. Please remember that your son is cradled gently in the Lord's arms.
I am so very saddened for your family. I hope the thoughts and prayers of all who love you and those who you've never even met offer some support in this sad time.
I am thinking constantly of your family. I am reminded of Genesis 5:24 "Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away."
I don't know how to express my thoughts that your son walked with God (so well, and he delighted God's heart) and then God took him away (to be with him). Please forgive my poor attempt at trying.
But if a web of prayers around the world could give you strength, please know that it is so.
We are so so sorry for your loss of your darling son. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May God comfort you and your family at this tragic time. God Bless Anna.
My heart is aching for you and your family has not left my thoughts. What a precious boy. I am so unbelievably sorry for your loss. You and your family will continue to be in my prayers. May God hold you in His arms and bring you strength, comfort, peace, and healing.
Anna- He is so beautiful...my heart just aches for you. I've had you on my heart non-stop since I heard what happened to your beloved child. I keep waking up in the middle of the night praying for you...I just can't get you..or him, off my mind. I'm praying for whole family...I have three sons and can't even begin to imagine what you must be going through. I am so sorry. Please know you're being lifted up in prayer. (((Hug))) to you Missy
I am not a mother. I cannot imagine what you are going through. I am very, very sorry for your loss. You and your family, are and will be, in my prayers.
I am so very sorry and saddened about this. I know this terrible loss must seem incomprehensible to you still. Your son was absolutely beautiful, and I know you will miss him immeasurably.
May God's touch, peace, and presence embrace your grieving hearts bringing comfort to you all. I have had you on my heart and most definitely in my prayers. Mothers do not need to meet in person to know each other and the common bond that ties us all together is the love we have for our children. As others have commented, I learned of this from social media and my prayers immediately went up for you all. Those prayers and many others will continue as will my thoughts for the arms of loving family and friends to embrace and comfort you.
I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Words are so inadequate. I will continue to pray for you and your family. I hope you are comforted knowing that you are covered in the prayers of strangers, as well as your loved ones.
Even thought we have never met, I am heartbroken for your loss. The only consolation is that your son is now in the arms of his heavenly father and will waiting for you at its gates. God Bless
Anna, I am praying for you. I lost my 22 yr old son two years ago so I feel your broken heart. Give it all to the Lord, he is the only one that can heal you. Your son is a beautiful, beautiful boy. I am praying for you and your entire family. If you ever need another mom who has lost a child to talk to please contact me Lmende@gmail.com
Anna, I'll be praying for you and your family. I'm so sorry for the loss of your handsome boy. I pray peace and comfort for you during this terribly time of grief. xxoo, Hyacynth
It's hard to be the parent of an angel. The pain never leaves and the hole never fills. Sending you love and prayers from a mom who knows this kind of loss. You will survive but you will never be the same.
I left a comment yesterday, but feel drawn to come back and let you know again that your beautiful beloved boy is in the hearts of many. Know that my family is praying for you and yours.
There are no words. I lost my brother many years ago in an accident, and I am so very heartbroken for you and your family. I am praying for you and will hold you close in my thoughts. Although I don't personally know you, I can tell that your son was an amazing person and he will be missed by many.
I am a complete stranger, but had to leave you a note. Your family has been in my heart, on my mind constantly. Please know I'm praying for your family and thank you for sharing your beautiful boy with us. Thoughts and prayers with you.

I am so sorry for the loss of your precious son. Praying for you and your wonderful family.
I have no words, but I continue to hold you and yours in my thoughts, wishing for healing and comfort for you.
Sorry doesn't begin to express how much sorrow I feel for the tragedy that you and your family are enduring.
But that is what I am, sorry that you have to go through this tragedy, sorry that a beautiful life had to leave this earth so early, sorry that the waters of that creek were so strong that they could take him from you, sorry for the incredible pain that you have to endure, and sorry that your life had to change forever.

I do not know you but am also a JMU grad(as well as greek sister from ASA) and from Vienna. We have some mutual friends. I also have a 12 year old son, your tragedy has struck me so hard. I have been praying for you ever since I heard. I also share a relationship with our Heavenly Father, as it sounds like you do. I am praying and will continue to pray. You are NOT alone.
I am another person who does not know you but am wrapping all of you in my virtual arms and praying for calm, peace and strength. Close your eyes - there are thousands of us out here who stumbled upon this and have added you to our prayers. Not all are writing, but all are praying.
A beautiful, beautiful boy. I am crying with you.
I am close friends with Paula P and have had you and your family close in my heart and prayers since she called me Friday morning. I hope you are feeling the strength of all the prayers being prayed for your son and family.
I am so sorry.
There are no words to express the sympathy I have for you and your family. Your beloved son had the loveliest, happiest eyes - no doubt due to the home he lived in and the family who loved him.
I am praying for you with my Momma's heart. I am so, so sorry. Words fail.
Love cannot.
May God's grace hold you close in the days and weeks ahead. As a mother of two I cannot fathom the pain of losing a child. But we both know that our heavenly father can. May He be your comforter now and forever.
I am deeply sorry for the loss of your son. What a beautiful boy. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts.
Thinking of you and praying you find some bit of comfort in the love of your family and friends.
Still sending my love and support...
in the hopes you and your family know (feel, believe) you are not alone.
My heart aches for your unimaginable loss. "I'm sorry," doesn't seem like enough.
As a mother of two sons I simply cannot fathom the hurt you must be feeling. Although you don't know me and this is my first visit to your beautiful blog I want you to know that I am praying for peace for you and your family. Please remember that your son is cradled gently in the Lord's arms.
You are in my prayers. May you feel Gods love for you through this unimaginable time.
praying for you
Your family is in my prayers.
Will continue to pray for you and your family. Such a beautiful young man.
I do not know you in real life, but have seen from reading your blog for a long time just how amazing your son was.
Thinking of you and your family constantly, and sending you prayers and strength for the coming days.
Anna, you have all of my love, as does your family, including your beautiful boy. I am so, so sorry.
Thoughts and prayers for your and your family, Anna. {{hug}}

You and your family will be in our prayers. I am so sorry for your loss.
I am so very saddened for your family. I hope the thoughts and prayers of all who love you and those who you've never even met offer some support in this sad time.
I wish I could be there to hug you in person. What I am doing is praying without ceasing. Please know that you are being showered with prayer.
I love you, Sister.
I'm so sorry.
Anna,
I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful son and am praying for peace for your family in the days ahead.
A part of my heart is with yours.
There are no words. I am so sorry.
Hi Anna,
I am thinking constantly of your family. I am reminded of Genesis 5:24 "Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away."
I don't know how to express my thoughts that your son walked with God (so well, and he delighted God's heart) and then God took him away (to be with him). Please forgive my poor attempt at trying.
But if a web of prayers around the world could give you strength, please know that it is so.
We are so so sorry for your loss of your darling son. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May God comfort you and your family at this tragic time. God Bless Anna.

My heart is aching for you and your family has not left my thoughts. What a precious boy. I am so unbelievably sorry for your loss. You and your family will continue to be in my prayers. May God hold you in His arms and bring you strength, comfort, peace, and healing.
Thinking of you and your family. Sending you much love....
I am so sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Anna- He is so beautiful...my heart just aches for you. I've had you on my heart non-stop since I heard what happened to your beloved child. I keep waking up in the middle of the night praying for you...I just can't get you..or him, off my mind. I'm praying for whole family...I have three sons and can't even begin to imagine what you must be going through. I am so sorry. Please know you're being lifted up in prayer.
(((Hug))) to you

Your son is beautiful. I pray you find comfort and peace. Thoughts and prayers from Maine.

I am so very sorry and saddened about this. I know this terrible loss must seem incomprehensible to you still. Your son was absolutely beautiful, and I know you will miss him immeasurably.
My very best to you and your family.

Anna, So saddened by the news of your loss. What a beautiful boy. May the Lord comfort you like only He can. with love and prayers, Wendy.
May God's touch, peace, and presence embrace your grieving hearts bringing comfort to you all. I have had you on my heart and most definitely in my prayers. Mothers do not need to meet in person to know each other and the common bond that ties us all together is the love we have for our children. As others have commented, I learned of this from social media and my prayers immediately went up for you all. Those prayers and many others will continue as will my thoughts for the arms of loving family and friends to embrace and comfort you.
As everyone else has already said, I am truly sorry for the incredible loss of your son. You and your family are in my thoughts.
I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Words are so inadequate. I will continue to pray for you and your family. I hope you are comforted knowing that you are covered in the prayers of strangers, as well as your loved ones.
My heart and my tears are with you.
I am so sorry for the loss of your precious son. ((HUGS))
You have a beautiful family. I am so heartbroken for you and pray for you to feel God's comfort and peace.
Praying for you in Wisconsin and I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy.
Even thought we have never met, I am heartbroken for your loss. The only consolation is that your son is now in the arms of his heavenly father and will waiting for you at its gates. God Bless
God bless you, Anna, and your whole family as you deal with this simply unimaginable loss. You are in my prayers constantly.
Thinking of you and praying for you. Much, much love to you and your family. What a beautiful boy.
Anna, I am praying for you. I lost my 22 yr old son two years ago so I feel your broken heart. Give it all to the Lord, he is the only one that can heal you. Your son is a beautiful, beautiful boy. I am praying for you and your entire family. If you ever need another mom who has lost a child to talk to please contact me Lmende@gmail.com
My deepest condolences to you and your family.
Anna - Your beautiful son is now an Angel of Heaven. Always listen carefully because "Angels whisper...I Love You."
Anna, I'll be praying for you and your family. I'm so sorry for the loss of your handsome boy. I pray peace and comfort for you during this terribly time of grief.
xxoo,

I am so, so sorry for your loss.
It's hard to be the parent of an angel. The pain never leaves and the hole never fills. Sending you love and prayers from a mom who knows this kind of loss. You will survive but you will never be the same.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. So sad.
We are heartbroken for you.

So truly sorry for your loss.
I can't imagine the pain you are going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Hold onto each other in this time of loss!
There are no words. I lost my brother many years ago in an accident, and I am so very heartbroken for you and your family. I am praying for you and will hold you close in my thoughts. Although I don't personally know you, I can tell that your son was an amazing person and he will be missed by many.
I am a complete stranger, but had to leave you a note. Your family has been in my heart, on my mind constantly. Please know I'm praying for your family and thank you for sharing your beautiful boy with us. Thoughts and prayers with you.
OMG. Just heard about your unimaginable loss on Scary Mommy...
I am so very sorry.
No words.
