There is a time when words fail. Like when the hope that seemed to be growing for him ends this way, even knowing it was a possible outcome. My condolences, and virtual warm hugs, to you, your wife, and your daughter.

Love to you all chansen at this saddest of times.  He's been an important part of our WonderCafe family too - I join you in celebrating his short life, and mourn the loss of him. 

Oh Chansen. I'm so, so sorry.

Chansen, I'm sorry.  I have no other words.

Chansen, I am sorry for your loss. So sorry.

I am thankful for the time you took with him, for your belief in him, and your ability to help him laugh, and walk, and do so many things with his family.

You enabled him, in a way that only one could hope to enable a child.

Circle with your family, let them love you, hold each other.

Carter is a loved little boy.

Thanks all. We'll confirm the arrangements today. Claire is at the birthday party of a classmate, of all places. She needs to smile today. There are ponies involved. She deserves ponies.
.
Please keep this here for now. Facebook can wait. Not sure how it would happen, but some of our friends are off having fun today, and we can tell them later. Let them have their family day.

Oh chansen, I am so, so sorry. My heart breaks for you. I am holding you and your family in my thoughts.

I am greatly saddened by this, Yes it could happen, but it was never on my mind as a possibility.  I looked forward with great excitement everyday to read the New Adventures of Carter.... You and your family are in my thoughts and heart.

His  SMILE  and Laughter  will always live on in peoples hearts.

Our World is all the more Richer for his having been a part of it.

My heartfelt condolences to you, chansen, and to your wife and daughter.

“He was the best son a father could ask for.”  He was charming, fun, a marvellous little boy.  And when adversity struck, he still showed all those wonderful qualities along with strength and determination, matched by the love, presence, encouragement and inspiration of his family.  From what you have told us and showed us in your postings on WC, Carter had the best family a son could ask for.  Your family is rich in love.  May your memories of those four treasured years sustain you through this difficult time.

This is new on the net, just posted I believe by the funeral home , no responses yet.

I just heard and I am weeping. He had such a profound impact on my heart and I thank you so much for sharing one of the most truly amazing and inspirational journies of love that I have ever had the privilege to witness.

Take care Chansen and may you find the strength to endure the coming days by holding high the example and legacy left to you from a very young boy, who struggled through the worst and best of times, not to win the race but finish it well.

I will miss him.

(((((Chansen, Mrs Chansen and Claire)))))

My eyes are leaking as I type, trying to find suitable words to say in the face of such tragedy.  I have no idea how anyone copes with the loss of a child, especially not such a special one.  Resilient, funloving, mischievous, adorable (and adored),  inspiring and overflowing with courage, Carter was all this and more.  His physical presence will be missed but I hope his laughter will continue to ring in your hearts.

I wish our homes were closer as I would have felt honored to have a seat at the memorial gathering on Friday. 

Wow, didn't see this coming. I'm sorry for your loss buddy.. I'm just so sorry ...

oh chansen, not you.  anyone but you

fuck death...wish it would reach down its gaping death hole, grasp its anus and pull itself out of existence

ty for sharing a bit of your life with me here on wc ... i am truly a better person for it

keep loving those you love

don't let anyone tell you what you should be doing, should be feeling, should be thinking...what will happen will happen

I'm so sorry to hear this, chansen.  Thank you for sharing that beautiful child with us.

Thanks again, everyone.

Everything will be at Ward's Funeral Home, 4671 Regional Road 7, Woodbridge

Got any UU congregations around?  How about a friend or family member who could cope with that role?  

I'm so sorry to hear this Chansen.

I'm so sorry, Chansen.  

Very sad news - sincerest condolences Chansen. May your family and friends be a real source of comfort and strength in the days ahead.
