"Dear Lori and Ali, Tammie and I and our family extend our condolences in the loss of Tom and Kacie. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God bless you with strength and comfort. With love, The Garwoods "

"Dear Lori and family, We're so sorry to hear about Tom and Kacie. I know we haven't been in contact for many years, but we have many fond memories from long ago on the Hausfeld Softball team. We thought so much of you and Tom. Tom was such a great guy! We are lifting you up in prayer, Lori,that God will give you great comfort and peace in the difficult days ahead. Love, Tim and Marty Tangeman"

"We are so sorry for your loss and want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all. "

"The world will miss two great people who did touch the hearts of many people in the community. We are very sorry for your lost and will continue to keep your family in our prays and thoughts.."

"Your family is in our thoughts and prayers during this time. May the peace that is Jesus be with you. Susan Mueller from the Alter and UD Communities"

"I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend He referred to the dates on her tombstone from the beginning to the end. He noted that first came the date of her birth and spoke of the following date with tears, But he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years. For that dash represents all the time that she spent alive on earth... And now only those who loved her know what that little line is worth. For it matters not, how much we own; the cars .... the house... the cash. What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash. So think about this long and hard ... are there things you'd like to change? For you never know how much time is left. You could be at quot;dash mid-range quot; If we could just slow down enough to consider what's true and real, And always try to understand the way other people feel. And be less quick to anger, and show appreciation more, And love the people in our lives like we've never loved before. If we treat each other with respect and more often wear a smile... Remembering that this special dash might only last a little while. So, when your eulogy's being read with your life's actions to rehash... Would you be proud of the things they say about how you spend your dash?? Too short but what dash Kacie and Tom had."

"Lori amp; Ali, where do we begin. We've known Tom for almost 30 years now, starting with the softball days and your wedding. We have so many wonderful memories of all of us together and we will have them for a lifetime. We feel your pain but know we will always be there for you both. Love you with all our heart."

"Lori and Ali, and to the Hausfeld and Barhorst families: Our deepest sympathy to you on your tragic loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time."

"Dear Lori- My heart goes out to you Lori! Things aren't supposed to happen this way, but we aren't guaranteed anything in life. I guess we need to be grateful for the time we have! I know I can't fix things, but I have no doubt who can give you some peace..lean on Jesus Lori, He is there for you now and every day! I have no doubt Tom and Kacie are with HIM! Please know that you are loved and are being lifted up to God each and everyday! Love you! Sue Kaufman"

"Lori and Ali, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Words cannot express how sorry we were to hear about Kacie and Tom. Although we have not seen each other much, we will always treasure the memories that we spent with you and Tom at the OSU and Purdue games, way back when. Take care, and keep the faith, He will bring you through this. The Neargarder Family Roger, Lannette, Logan, Mallory and Tayler"

"I first met Kacie, Tom, and Lori Kacie amp;rsquo;s mom on November 1 All Saints Dayin Philadelphia when Kacie and her UD Women amp;rsquo;s Volleyball teammates played Temple. After the matches, Kacie, Tom, Lori, the coaches, and Kacie amp;rsquo;s teammates joined us for dinner at Cavanaugh amp;rsquo;s in University City. From the moment I met Tom and Kacie #14, I knew they were a special part of our UD family. Tom amp;rsquo;s devotion to Kacie was obvious and inspirational. Tom and Lori were so genuinely appreciative of our chapter amp;rsquo;s efforts to support Kacie and her teammates. Tom and I subsequently traded e-mails, and I was looking forward to seeing my new friends in Philadelphia next season. I mourn for Tom, Kacie, Lori, Alexis Kacie amp;rsquo;s older sister, Kacie amp;rsquo;s teammates, and everyone else who knew Tom and Kacie. Kacie did bring joy to everyone, and I was blessed to have Tom and Kacie touch my life. The opportunity to meet Tom and Kacie and amp;ldquo;break bread amp;rdquo; with them was a UD family moment I will cherish. Tom and Kacie, rest in peace my friends. Mark J. Connor, Esquire '81 President, Philadelphia Chapter University of Dayton National Alumni Association"

"Lori amp; Ali, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Words cannot express how sorry we are to hear about Tom amp; Kacie. With Sympathy, Cindy Rose amp; Jim Moore amp; Family"

"Lori, I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I was to hear about Tom and Kacie. Although it has been many years since I left ADS, I still can picture it like it was yesterday, Tom in his office, sipping his coffe and yelling at Roger then shaking his head, chuckling and smiling afterwards . . . . and the look on his face, how he would light up when Kacie and Ali came to the office with you; I don't know who was more excited to see each other, Tom or the girls! There were some difficult times I was going through during my quot;ADS Years quot; , Tom and you was always there to lend a helping hand or to bend an ear if I just needed to talk ~ for that I will always be grateful. I know this can't be easy for you, but I hope these memories help to bring you a little comfort during this difficult time. Two beautiful lives taken all too soon ~ we were all blessed to have know them. "

"Lori,and family, You probably don't know who we are but I was a Larger from Minster and graduated with Brad. Just wanted to let you know that you are thought of and prayed for. May you be filled with God's graces and peace to help you through this tragedy! Our deepest sympathy!"

"Lori, Ali and the entire Hausfeld and Barhorst Family: Words cannot express our sorrow for you during this unthinkable time. We will continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Ron and Vicky Schulze, Fort Loramie"

"How sorry we were to hear of this tragedy. May God be with all the family."

"Dear Lori and Ali #45;- We are heartbroken for you. I just want to hold you and come up with some magic words to help. You are both in our prayers. I am grateful you have such a deep faith and you have each other. I so wish we could do for you. You are so blessed to have a large and close family.
