2005-02-04 10:36:35 | I accidently came across Staceys bio, I was reading it because I was looking for a schoolmate from the past. I am 10 years older but I attended Allenby, Glenview and N.S.S. also. I did not know while reading her bio. that it would end up so tragic. Beautiful girl. I am a mother of 3 and I can't imagine what you went through. I just did not want to read it and not say I am very sorry for your loss. I think you are amazing people to set up this special virtual box. I read other's thoughts and are saddened for their losses. We should all learn something from this, cherish what we have. It is so hard to live that way. But we never know. God bless you. J. Allen |

Life is never the same without them. Getting through the long dark nights, wishing to touch your child once more and realizing that the chance is forever gone on this earth is truly a shattering experience, and I don't know how you ever got through. Thank you for all your thoughts and courage. I will buy your book. |

2005-01-18 20:59:35 | I heard you speaking with Andy Barrie recently on CBC in the morning and it prompted me to buy the book "No Mountain.." because I thought my Mom might find it inspirational. I recently lost my dear sweet father to a brain tumour that took his life in 5 short months. It has been a long and painful time without him and I am always interested in learning how to turn the pain into something more positive. Anyway, I am still in possession of the book, having cried with you, laughed with you, and rejoiced in how you've memorialized your beautiful daughter. The book was doubly powerful for me as Benjamin's also took care of things for my family and my wonderful father is buried in the same cemetary as Stacey. Needless to say, I relived those painful days in reading your story. In the end though, I am inspired and I thank you for passing on your courage, wisdom and strength. I think Stacey was as blessed to have you as you were to have her. Thank you again for a wonderful book....I think I'll have to buy my Mom her own copy. Warmly, Evelynne |

2004-12-27 00:15:40 | I am terribly sorry for your loss. My daughter as well seems to have a gift for poetry(she is 14). She as well maintains a journal of her writings and stories. I cannot imagine what the world would be like without her. Your story inspires me to cherish everyday with her and to love her even more than I could have previously imagined. Your courage in times of grief are awe inspiring and I could only hope to have a piece of that courage being in your situation. Stacey and yourself have touched the world more than you could possibly know. I thank you for the inspiration. God Bless you all. |

2004-12-26 17:11:37 | I truly believe that everything in life happens for a reason. So it is no coincidence that I happened to see your interview on the Vicki G. show(which I seldom watch). My 25 year old daughter, Kesa, died suddenly on Nov.19/04. Both of our daughters seemed to have had much in common:vibrant,active young women who lived life to the fullest. My daughter also liked to write and wanted to help the save the world through her writing. Her middle name was Rose... how appropriate the title of your daughters book. I've come to the conclusion that it was destiny that my daughter die when she did. There were too many "coincidences" that have led me to this conclusion. Balance was very important in Kesa's life... she is now on the other side with her Dad who died on March 15/04 and my son and I our here on earth to complete our life purpose. As someone once said " Our loved ones are not ours to keep"... they are just on loan to us. I shared an incredible 25 years with Kesa and sometimes feel her presence knowing that I can call upon her for quidance any time. |

2004-12-24 12:13:48 | Bonjour - Thank you for giving me the possibility to contribute to your Virtual Blue Box. This might be my closest chance to feel that I reached the top of something... And You know what? Anything, small or big, anybody can do to make this place, the “blue” planet, our world, a better place to live is what makes me proud of being part of the human race. It gives me new hope for tomorrow. You, your wife and Stacey are contributing to making a difference. Thank you for helping the human family becoming better and giving me and so many others that feeling of hope. It feels good to be part of this huge chain of love... especially when just smiling is difficult. There is definitely beauty in this world... Who knows what the power of one or few heartfelt positive words can bring? Where the ripple effect could lead and what optimistic chain of action it could trigger... I am a Blue Morpho, struggling to go out of its Chrysalis and to live life...still hoping for the best possible life... But what an inspiration it was listening to you, out of the blue today on Vicky… I will definitely offer myself that book as soon as I can…for continuous inspiration. I did not loose a daughter, but something shook me to my foundation… I salute your courage. // Claudia, Near some mountains in Québec, December 23rd, 2004 |
