"I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. Death is something that humans were never meant to experience, the pain that we experience when we lose a loved one is something that is simply unnatural. Psalms 37:29 says 29 "The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it." God's original purpose for humankind was to live forever in a paradise earth with no sickness or death. An "abundance of peace" as psalms 37:10 brings out. Though the world we love in is horrible and we experience pain on a daily basis there is some good news, the bible promises something truly amazing at revelation 21:4 it says "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more,neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." So death, sickness, pain and every kind of sorrow will be wiped out but what about those who have already died? John 5:28,29 says of those ones "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment." So these ones will be resurrected to an earth filled with peace. For more information on this subject please visit www.jw.org and fill out the online request for a free bible study.

"My beautiful precious grandson, The day you were born and I held you in my arms for the first time you were forever engraved in my heart! I am so honored to have been chosen to be your grandmother. Such a gift from God. Words cannot describe how much I miss you. You were perfect and special and all the times l had with you now fill the empty void that my heart feels . But I am looking forward to the day when God calls me home that you will be there once again to take my hand and walk me into the presence of the Lord whom you are now with. And together we will sing and rejoice and laugh and love again forever. God bless you my beautiful grandson. Until we meet again. Nana loves you!"

"I am so sorry to have read of your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences. The Bible is a great source of encouragement at times like this. Something that I have personally found to be of great comfort is what the Bible says at John 5:28, 29 ( Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.) As well as Revelation 21:3,4 (With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: "Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.) These verses show us that soon God is going to bring about a resurrection of our loved ones as well as do away with all causes we have for suffering including sickness and death. Knowing this has always comforted me and it is my sincere hope that these thoughts comfort your family as well. Again I am so sorry for your loss and May Jehovah God bring you comfort during these difficult times. "

"Kasper Family: So sorry for the loss of Dallas. It is never easy to lose someone in death, but even more difficult when this is a child. May the 'God of tender mercies and comfort" (2 Cor 1:3,4) hold your family in His arms till the pain subsided and happy memories bring comfort. We all long for the time when the enemy death with all its pain are gone forever (Rev 21:3,4). Deepest sympathy"

"Sorry for your loss kasper family... I pray for Dallas every day I look up in the sky and rember the fun third grade memories he is an awesome kid I will rember him in my heart I feel so sorry for the kasper family I will miss you Dallas thanks for all the fun memories."

"I am going to miss his kindness and happy smile. He was the first new friend I made in second grade. We were friends on the very first day! I want to help his family by easing money and delivering freezer meals. I miss him very much. "

"I met Dallas when he was in first grade. From that day on, he would always smile, wave and say hi when he saw me in the hallway. I was very fortunate to have him for Social Studies this past year. He was always smiling, always helping, always doing his best. My life has been blessed because I knew Dallas. My heart aches for his family, but I pray that their memories will bring them comfort in the days, months and years ahead. "

"My daughter McKenna had Dallas in her math class last year and was very upset about his passing. She said he was a kind young man who made her laugh and shared his candy with her. I hope it is comforting to know that he has left an impression on so many including my daughter. As a mother my heart is heavy for your loss. I cannot imagine and I hope that God gives you peace and comfort during this time. "

"Dear Dallas, I had a great year with you reading books and helping me with my math. You always made me laugh. When I was sad, you always cheered me up. I am going to miss all the fun times we had at school, when you played 4 square with me. "

"Dallas' smile could light of a room. Whenever I had lunch with my son Ryan, Dallas always wanted to sit next to me and ask me questions. He always started out with "Mrs. O'Day......" I can still hear his sweet voice. I have never met a child with his spirit and personality, beyond his years and so intelligent. He will be missed. "

"His smile. On the first day of third grade I was immediately struck by his smile, and so were the other students in my classroom. He had a deep understanding of people even at a very young age. He saw the new student on the first day of class with no friends and volunteered to eat lunch with them and be their buddy at recess, but it didn't stop there. Dallas made sure he checked on that student almost daily, and included him whenever he could. He delighted us with his dance moves as we sang songs in class, or told stories about his weekends of family fun. When it came to learning Dallas was a sponge. He was enamored with learning and his enthusiasm was contagious. Dallas loved our large picture window in the classroom. He was inquisitive about the animals we saw, or the weather conditions. He was a quiet leader among his peers,humble in his abilities. He was the student everyone wanted in their group because of his gentle ways and kindness. Dallas taught me many things as a third grade student. To honor his memory I have created a list to put on my desk as a constant reminder to live life a little more like Dallas did.These are the lessons Dallas taught me. Learn with passion and enthusiasm Dance, sing, be silly and enjoy the simple moments Notice people who are struggling and act Do your best and a little more Love your family and talk about them with pride And lastly, Smile I am honored to have known Dallas. I am glad he was my teacher. Sincerely, Sheryl Read-Slaughter "

"Dallas was a fourth grade reading student of mine during the past school year. He was sweet, kind, and funny. His bright smile would start my day and his witty stories would make all of us giggle. He was always willing to give his best and had a special knack for encouraging others. My heart is so sad that we have lost such a special little guy. Memories of Dallas have touched many in the Sunrise River School family. He will be remembered warmly."

"I'll miss seeing you in class! I remember when Dallas got the special prize from the magician in 4th grade and always smiling at school. "

"I am so sorry for what happened. I was in his grade. He always smiled. You are in my prayers."

"Dallas was in my second grade class. He would always arrive with a smile on his face, ready with a friendly greeting, and willing to help anyone in class. Dallas was always so proud to share stories about his big brothers and family events. I loved seeing Dallas around town wearing matching t-shirts with his dad. My son, Logan, was also friends with Dallas. Logan says Dallas was his "4-square buddy" and he will miss playing with Dallas. Dallas has touched the lives of so many students and staff members at Sunrise River Elementary. He will be remembered with so much love and fondness. "

"I am sorry for your loss. He will always be remembered in my family's heart. He was a very good friend of mine and I will miss him. Sincerely, Ethan Ludwig"

"Dallas was my fourth grade student this past year. I have the best memories of his happy little face walking into my classroom each day. He had a fun sense of humor and he would make me laugh with a silly dance or goofy saying. Dallas was helpful to other students but most importantly he was a good friend. I am so sad he has passed away and my heart goes out to his family. I am truly blessed to have had him touch my life and his classmates the past school year. Dallas you will be missed by all but never forgotten."
