Dear Bryan, Lusha and Tresize, I cannot imagine the grief in the hearts of each of you. There is no greater loss for a parent than to lose their own flesh and blood.

Dear Bryan, Lusha and Tresize, I didn't know Everett, but I did know his Grandma Viky, years ago, when she was in my classroom. I can't imagine the loss all of you are experiencing. It is always hard to lose a loved one, and maybe double so, when it's a youngster, with so much to experience in this life. It helps to know that his love for life continues, but out of our sight at this time. His Grandma Vicky will be enjoying his company. My prayers and those of the community will be accompanying yours during this time of loss and grief. My condolences and prayers, Sister Susan Dunnwald, RSM Cedar Rapids, IA

Precious Everett, There are no words to say how your sweet smile and beautiful self will be missed by everyone. You absolutely lit up our classroom every single day and were always the student that I could rely on for any and everything. You were beyond your years as a mathematician and boy did you learn how to read like the wind. The vision of you in your leather suspenders and those gorgeous eyes looking my way will always be etched in my mind and soul. I will miss our talks about sheep, collecting eggs and how you loved learning from Tresize. I love you kiddo and will miss you dearly. Bryan, Lusha and Tresize, Again, I want to thank you for sharing Everett with us. Throughout the year, I shared with you how respectful and sweet he was. He truly was a student that I would never forget, even before this tragic accident. You have a beautiful family and I thank you for allowing me to be a part of it this past year. Love you guys ❤️
Dear Bryan, Lucia, and Tresize, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Although I only knew Everett for a short time I shall always remember him fondly and never forget the smiles he gave me every day. God bless you and all of your family members during this time. Perry Gonzales
