2008-03-14 10:44:16 | I shared the poetry Stacey wrote with my daughter's friends when they visited for Spring Break from college. It was inspiring and because of this book and the messages inside we have decided to take my daughter's poetry and the stories she wrote and compile them for print.
Thank you for your positive energy and for making a difference in not just my life but in many others.
Be Well,

2007-09-30 20:54:51 | its only been 3 months since our 19yr old son died. he died from a diabetes. we found him in a coma in his apt on june 30th and we withdrew life support in the early morning hours of july 5th. its the hardest thing we have ever had to do. if someone would have told sharon and i when we were married 27 yrs ago that we would hve to experieince this i dont think we would have believed them. i know from other peple who ahve gone thru this that ther eis a silver lining behind htis black cloud but right now it doesnt feel like it. its unbelievable to me. i wish i couod change it back
i read your book. i received it from afeind who lost his 4 yr old daughter 3 years ago. i wasnt sure i would be ready to read it. when i opened it and strted to read the first few lines of the Preface I didnt stop. i read it in two sittings. its now sunday night and i jsut finished it.
thanking you doesnt seem appropriate. i'm still numb from all this. i hope some day to find purpose in Johnny's passing and maybe johnny and stacey are looking over your family and mine

2006-12-06 08:49:11 | dec 05,2006.. I lie in bed dreading the new day that has started which should be celebrating my sons 18th birthday, instead of mourning 7 years without him. As I, as well lost my precious son as he was hit by a car in front of our home. I listened to vicky and heard you speak, I realized this was meant for me to take notice. I will seek your books for comfort and knowledge as a sure sign from my angel. Thank you |

2006-08-25 10:57:26 | I was truly inspired by the book No mountain too high! I too am having to walk in shoes that are worn by people who have lost a child and it is not easy to say the least!! My 24 yr old daughter Marla was killed in a car/truck accident, May 10, 2000, while vacationing in Australia!! Life, I don't believe can ever be the same for this family! Although we are still functioning the best way we know how, and enjoying daily life one day at a time, always remembering that this is not the safe world that we once lived together in!! There is a constant ache in my heart daily, realizing what Marla is missing, and what we are misssing by not having her in our lives today!! Someday when I can crawl out from under my grief and mourning I would like to have a memorial in our town to display the names of children who have left this earth far, far, too soon!! I have found comfort in my Bereavement Group and was wondering if you would be in the Windsor, Ontario area anytime soon and if you could inform me of a speaking engagement that the Group might attend! I just can't get enough reading material from people like you and Stacey's poems, that inspire us to move on from our grief and celebrate their lives'!! Thanks for writing your story! Marla's Mom, Pat Ellis |

Scarcely a day goes by when thoughts of him him don't cross my heart and mind - especially on his birthday, at Christmas, Easter - I think you know what I mean. So, you see, I do have some understanding of what you have gone through - and are still going through. May God bless and keep you and your family. Stacey's poems are an inspiration. A mother whose heart still aches ad still bears the scars. |

2006-01-15 16:02:15 | Today I heard Ned Levitt speak at the First Unitarian Church of Hamilton, and was truly moved by what he had to say. It even brought tears to my eyes when I was describing his words to my parents. Thank you for sharing Stacey's gift with the world.

2005-12-07 19:27:21 | I watched you Mr.Levitt on the talk show of Vicky Gabereau and was touched by your story of your wonderful daughter Stacey.I thought what an affect this young woman had on me. I too had lost someone I really loved a little over five years ago and he was only seventeen years of age. It wasn't the fact that he passed away that got to me,but that he was only seventeen.I miss him a great deal just like you miss your daughter.Well I just wanted to tell you that your daughter,Stacey,is an inspiration to all and I look forward to reading about her in your book. Sincerely Yours Truly, Shannon Lafontaine |

I look forward to purchasing the books and wish your family the best as well as all the other families who have suffered the loss of a child. I send you all my prayers. Dianne |

2005-12-06 22:02:15 | Dear levitt family, I as the rest of your letters, was about to say. I saw the last two minutes of the vicky Gabereau show , I to am not an afternoon tv watcher and was off to therapy after an accident which has left me in a lot of physical and mental pain. which i know will be just for a time and hopefully they will both heal. A year and a half ago my husband was diagnosed with a terminal illness. The doctor said our relationship would never be the same. We both confessed the other day that we thought that she ment dealing with imminent death. We now know that she ment trying to live. Unfortunately this illness not only robs you of your physical it robs you of your mental ability through lack of oxygen. I have worked in pallative care for fifteen years with exactly this kind of illness. Walked countless of families through it. To be told so often we could not have made it without you. Those were words that perhaps carry me through these harsh days. We are now on our own journey of discovery thank you for more thoughts to work with more avenues to explore sincerely susan |
