Tomorrow's Kisses 
My name is Amanda Beasley. I am a teacher at Child’s Play and my daughter Dakota played soccer with Callum. You are the sweetest family and to think that this can happen to y’all makes no sense! (or any child) I just wanted to let you know that I think about y’all daily and am praying for y’all.

I am so sorry I didn’t attend the memorial service I didn’t know about it. I only tonight (11-14) went to the website and read the invite. I was hoping I would know when it was planned but know my prayers continue to go up for your entire family. He was such a precious little cuttie and I will miss seeing him out walking with you in the summer. My heartfelt condolenses to you and all your extended families as well.
Love and Prayers,
Kay Norman
Cullen and Leslie,
Even though I was merely Cullen’s classmate nearly 30 years ago, the loss of your little boy has weighed heavily on my mind for several weeks now. I saw this audio slide show on the New York Times website today and thought of you two: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/05/19/health/healthguide/childhood-cancer.html?ref=health I don’t know if it will “help” you somehow, but I hope it will, at least to show you you’re not alone…
I thought of you all on Saturday, the day you held the celebration of life for Lachlan, and how no one should have to bury their child. Nearly 4 years ago, I helped my mother pick out a casket to bury my 35 year old sister in. It was among the most gut wrenching experiences I’ve ever been through. And our family was lucky — Kim died in her sleep and probably never realized what was happening. And she had 35 years of life, far more than Lachlan had.
I wish I could tell you that the grief gets better, but it doesn’t. It does change, though. I’m so sorry for your loss and wish you weren’t going through this.
