Troy and Heather, I am very sorry for the death of your two children. I have been think ing of you guys, since my mom(Jane Carter) told me about this horrible accident. You have been in my thoughts and prayer. Becky Adams (Cedar Falls, IA worked at Carlo's O' Kelly's)

Dear DeJoode Family, I held my breath as I watched these photos this morning.  As the mother of 3 children almost exactly the same ages as your children, I can not stop thinking of all of you.  It is simply beyond comprehension to bury two children.  May you find some comfort in the good that lives on through their organs and on the impact your tragedy has had on so many of us.  Many blessings, Jennifer Wigton (Michael's wife)

Oh Heather our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family.  We sent Chase some gifts and donated to your fund but am aware that all you will want is to have your babies back.  I'm so sorry for your losses and for your injuries. We will continue to pray for you all.

Our sincere sympathy to Troy and Heather as well as the entire DeJoode and Eccles families.  We will continue to keep you all in our prayers.

Sorry Mr. DeJoode I meant to say your son Chase. I hope you can move on someday and you and your wife can enjoy raising Chase.

To Troy and Heather Dejoode I am so very sorry for the death of your two children. As a father of two young children myself I can't imagine the pain you are going through. I did a tour in Iraq in 2003 and saw and heard horrible stuff, but that is nothing compared to what your going through.  My family glady donated money to the memorial fund in honor of your two children.  I wish you the best and I hope you can someday move on with your lives and enjoy it with your son Carson.

May God hold you in the palm of His hand as you grieve the loss of Carson and Claire.
