Dear Lisa: You are one of the most courageous people I have ever met. My memory of Adam will always be the absolutely beautiful little boy I met when we had lunch. He was exceptional, as was the love shared by you both. Please know that I am here. If you need someone to just sit with you, please let me know… any time, no matter when or where. All my prayers for you both.

From the moment I met Adam to the day we lost him, he was always the same amazing, kind-hearted young man. He was always positive and truly one of the nicest people I have met. I enjoyed working with him and getting to know him better than ever. He is always laughing and enjoying his life. He helped clean my shoes and I enjoyed some friendly competition in basketball with him. He will forever be in my heart.

I’m so happy to have the memory of Adam when you came to visit a few years ago. He was such a nice young man and remember how he played with my dog Taylor? We laughed at the both of them. Please accept my sincerest sympathy and know that I am here should you ever want to talk.

Adam was a special boy since the day I met him. I have never seen such a great love between a son and his Mom! I know he was your world Lisa and I am so very sorry!

I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot even imagine. I have not had the opportunity to meet your son, however; he sounded like an incredible, loving young man with many talents and hope for the future. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Holly
Adam was an incredible young man. He was a gift to this world. Lisa – Adam truly had the best mother this world could offer. (And I think he knew that. He was proud of you like you were proud of him. I’ve never known a teenager to be so proud to walk around publicly with an arm wrapped around his mother like he would do with you) We will find ways to honor him.
Lisa Pope
I can’t imagine the loss of a child. Thinking of you, Lisa, and your entire family. My heart grieves for you.

Thinking of you at this difficult time. We have been remembering Adam from when you came to Wisconsin to visit. He was a fun loving young man and enjoyed talking about your dogs. We love you. Please take care.
