“A child is the root of the heart.”
To suffer the loss of a child is to know
a loss unlike any other...
It means letting go of a beautiful part
of our life & hopes & dreams we cherish.^
Memories are like little stars in
the dark night of sorrow, & Shad
“is & always will be our shining star.">^
Your overwhelming support & sympathy for our 4
family has given us the much-needed strength
in helping us accept losing Shad. Only those of
you that have gone through this tragedy may fully
understand, but all of you will never realize that
because of your cards, phone calls, flowers, masses offered, food,
poems, counselors for the students, memorial contributions, ranch
help & the abundance of love you have shown us, have helped us try |
to endure this unbearable time.
Our heartfelt thanks go to the Heppner Volunteer Fire Dept. Rescue I
Team & Pioneer Memorial Ambulance Crew for doing everything in
their power for Shad; to Dr. Wenberg & Pioneer Memorial Hospital nurses |
& personnel that tried to care for our families’ needs.
Special thanks to Father Condon for leading & guiding us through I
Shad's tragedy & service; the Heppner St. Patrick’s Altar Society for the
wonderful dinner, & Sweeney Mortuary for their compassion & profes-1
sionalism.
Heppner & all surrounding communities came to our aid and there arel
no words to sufficiently express what each of you have done for us - we|
will forever be grateful. Shad loved you all & the love has been returned
“What enriches our lives is not how long we have with a person,
but the depth of love we are fortunate enough to share."
Sincerely,
Paul, Susan, Shaun & Annie Hisler & extended Hisler & Healy families
