We all really miss him so much! As my friend said, "He was the light of the hallways, which now remain dark." Finn was in my grade at school, he was such a great friend to everybody at school.

Saturday evening I personally watched the whole recovery efforts in Gladstone why they tried to save a Angel. Finn was once again the same age as my son. I see people loose there children and I feel so sad for them. There were so many tears on saturday afternoon amoung all the people praying, watching and hopeing it was all going to end in a good way. I felt so sorry for the other people who were with the troup to watch there friend, family suffer. God bless to all of you. As there parents I can only imagine from the sounds of it they were very proud as he was a true blessing of a child to have.

It would be hard for anyone in the Alameda/Beaumont community to ignore his mothers constant and pressing devotion to her children. To Pam and her family, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

I extend my sincere condolences to the family. Words can not begin to express how sory I am to hear of your loss. I am a dad, Eagle Scout, Scoutmaster etc. Two of my sons are also Eagle Scouts. I have taken scouts on backpacking trips, snow camps and, yes, Canoe trips. While we know there are risks we never expect a trip to end with the loss of a scout. I have found myself reflecting on trips, danger points and the three times people in our troop have flipped canoes. Once on a lake and twice in a river. I am still involved in scouting and will take scouts on yet more outings. This loss will be in the back of my mind with every trip I take. Our troop will discuss this and will review our planning process. May God bless you, comfort you and be with you as to seek to pick up the pieces and find your way forward.

Especially after the dance recital. He was one of the coolest sixth graders I had gotten to know. I was on the eighth grade trip on my way home when I found out. At first I thought it was just a really bad prank, but my friend confirmed it when he told me to read the paper. I have had three deaths happen at my time with Da Vinci. One of them was Finn. He will always be in my heart. I will never forget his beautiful writing and his outlook on life. Finn's death has really effected me. It made me think of all the things that he never got to do. And all the things I've done. It made me really want to live my life. To speak up more, and tell people what I think. Finn was too young to pass on, way too young. He was so innocent and so funny, but he was one of the sweetest kids I've met in a long time. I wont stop thinking about him. Not for one minute. My condolences to his family. My you rest in a better place. I'll miss your face in the hallways of Da Vinci Arts M.S forever. Sincerely, Haley L. Ogden 8th grade Da Vinci Arts M.S.

It also reminds us of the importance and power of our community during times of need. My thoughts go to Finn's family and all those that were touched by Finn. Our family was impacted by Finn and his kindness, especially to our youngest during baseball season. He always had a smile and a kind word. He will be missed both on and off the baseball field. Thanks for your comments and the resource of the Dougy center. This tragic loss helps give us perspective on the important things in life: our children, family and friends.
