"Dan I don't know where to begin. It is in times like these that we look for "the right words", but I am convinced that there are none. Courtney was and will remain a beautiful soul who touched so many. She choose you as her other half and I surly know how much she adored you. Her love for you was matter-of-fact. It was simple. It was wholehearted. It was divine.
I feel so blessed and forever grateful that I was allowed the opportunity to call Courtney a best friend. It is because of this that my heart is in such pain. Graduate school was a challenge, but Courtney made it that much easier. I feel very fortunate to have spent such wonderful times with you and she---- shopping for her wedding dress and finding it, seeing her face light up when she came into class with the most gorgeous engagement ring I've ever seen following your proposal, Chinese at your apartment in Southie, camping in Maine.... the list only continues.
Dan you are strong, loved, and you were her center. My heart reaches for yours and I send you my strength and love everyday. You and your beautiful children will forever be in my heart and on my mind. I am always here for you.

"Courtney was a very special person. I remember working closely with her in Brookline. She was patient and caring. I recall her dream to become an SLP and she was so excited to enter the program at NEU. My heart breaks of this news. Sending my deepest condolences and prayers to all of her family and friends.

"In her short years on earth, Courtney made an impact on everything she did and everyone she met. Our hearts are so heavy trying to make sense of this tragedy. She will always be in our hearts and minds. Let's see what we can do to make Dan's burden lighter from here on in. God bless Dan and the little girls."
