  16. Teresa and family,

    May your memories of Kayden and the love of your family surround you and give you strength and peace in the days ahead. Please accept our deepest sympathies. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours during this time of your greatest need.

    Our hearts are deeply saddened and devastated at the news of the loss of your sweet Kayden. As parents Renee and I can only imagine the depths of anguish and sorrow you must be feeling now. We pray however that the outpouring of sympathy, the kind acts of friends and strangers and the comfort in knowing that your loss is felt by many, will help you and yours through this most difficult time. Our family will always remember Kayden. He and our son Brandon were both born into our little village community on NW 9th street at around the same time. He was a very special young man and will be missed dearly. He and our son shared many friends and always enjoyed riding bikes to school together from time to time.

    We ask for God’s blessings on you and your family. May you find the courage and strength to move forward in peace and confidence and in knowing that his was a life well-lived.

    With most sincere sympathy,
    Brian, Renee, Brianna and Brandon Beck
