2005-05-30 16:30:55 | I was switching tv channels when I came upon the Vicki G . show and saw you Ned . The words " recovering " and "grief " held my attention. I also lost my child , youngest son , 3 1/2 years ago and am still so terribly devastated . He was 19 and a gifted painter . I think it is wonderful what you have done to honor your daughter's memory. I have also done whatever I could to keep my Michael's memory alive in the hearts and minds of his friends and even strangers. I was feeling particularly sad today as my mother just passed away last month and I feel sometimes it is just too much to bear having both her and my son taken from me . I am so glad that I tuned into the show and saw you there and heard you speak about your long road to recovery from unimaginable grief. I am looking forward to reading both books mentioned on the show today. God Bless you and your family . |

2005-04-21 22:42:38 | Thank you. I recently read that God walks with the animals and speaks through people -I think that Stacey was able to share some great messages to all who need comfort or just a little nudge to move forward. |

2005-04-21 15:08:52 | I really enjoyed your visit on Vicki's show yesterday. I have a close friend who recently lost her daughter and it made me call her. It was way overdue and also I felt there is still more I could do for her. Very inspirational for sure. So sorry for your loss. You speak of her and about her as if she were still with us. I guess in a way ...she is |

2005-04-20 23:29:58 | Mr. Levitt, I just watched a repeat broadcast of your interview on the Vicki Gabereau show. It was a moving interview. I have been a teacher at Northern Seondary School for close to twenty years. Unfortunately I didn't have the privilege of working with Stacey. I feel that I have come to know her through you. Each year at the commencement ceremonies you have so eloquently given us the gift of her life. I have listened, cried, laughed, and been inspired by her poetry and your stories of love for her. With amazement and great respect I have watched you become strong again. It has been an amazing journey. Thank you and your family for allowing us to participate in it. I have felt on each of those nights that the graduates have left with Stacey's spirit right beside them. I wish you and your family all the best. Louise Moran |

2005-04-20 21:09:31 | Ned - I caught a little bit of your story on Vicki - (which I almost never watch)and heard some of your radio interviews through this website. It's amazing how much, and how many lives have been touched by Stacey. I lost my brother, the oldest of 4, almost 5 years ago on his 24th birthday, 1 day before my parents 25th anniversary, and we all still struggle with the pain every day. But something you said on 1 of the radio interviews really caught my attention, was that you once wished that you could switch spots with Stacey, as I know everybody in my family has wished, but the thought that keeps reocurring to me, is that, maybe my brother was the one who DID switch spots, in order to save somebody else, maybe me, maybe my siblings, maybe my parents - who knows, but it is something that my brother would do without a second thought. It is this thought that helps me find comfort and to keep me going every day, as I hope it will for other people. I'm sure my parents and I will find your books very helpful, once I get my hands on them. My thoughts are with your family. mike |

2005-04-16 12:47:06 | To both Ned and Cheryl: When I met the two of you with one of your daughters, I thought what a wonderful normal family. There was communication between all of you and I admired your relationship with each other. Little did I know that your precious daughter had been taken away from you a while back. The first thing that came to mind was my younger brother, and how he is suffering from a mental illness. I realized that most people in this world do not have it easy, and when times are really tough in your life, you must keep living it, not only for your self but sometimes for those who no longer can. Even though, discouraging days will still occur, I thank you so much for your kindness, and for introducing me to Stacey's inspirational words. |

2005-02-21 16:00:53 | One does not know how much one can endure until he has seen and experienced the pain of the Levitt's.I lost my daughter Kelly-Anne Drummond on October 3rd, 2004 from a homicide. Having read No Mountain Too High it explains what pain there is in life and the pain to overcome what life throws at us. The similarities between Stacey and Kelly-Anne are remarkable as are the similarities between Ned & I. Although my wound is still very new and I still have alot of mourning to pass through, Ned has given me the strength to carry on. I firmly believe that Stacey & Kelly-Anne are looking down upon us from heaven and are both encouraging us to climb Mt. Ixta again or to conquer that next wave in the ocean. One does not know why, as parents, we were chosen to experience these tragedies in our lives.But we must chose to go on and believe that No Mountain Is Too High. May God bless the Levitt family. My sincere regards. John Drummond |

2005-02-17 23:06:50 | Your article really touch me in the star, as I to have had a recent loss of my 19 year old newphew, in September 2004. Like yourself, I'm now asking alot of questions, doing alot of soul searching. I hope one day I get to the same contentment and feel the same inner peace that you seem to have found. Your words and story is truly a gift from God, I wonder if this was God's plan to have taken you precious daughter Stacey to be an Angel in heaven, and for you to carry on her memory and to deeply touch and really have an impact on the people that are in so much pain, dealing with there lost ones. You shine a different light on our lives, and truly touch the heart. Stacey is a heavenly angel, you are our earthly angel. Thank you for spreading out our wings, so that we can fly again. I would like to ask that everyone says a pray for Stacey, Adrian and for each other. Love Doris |
