Macneil Family,

I know this must be a difficult day for you but I am thankful that I got to get to know your son.  I met him at the IWK and he was a wonderful listener, and we became very good friends through long talks, and reading to eachother.

My prayers are with you and I know that DJ is watching down on all of us.

Take care,

Dear Leslie, Cameron and family,
My heart breaks to hear of the passing of DJ. He was an acceptional young man and I was truly blessed to have had the opportunity to get to know him. I will always carry fond memories of his sheepish grin, flirtatious jokes and great sense of humour! He will truly be missed.
Always in my thoughts and prayers,
Shyla (LPN, IWK Health Center).

Dear Leslie, Cameron & Catherine,
We were deeply saddened by this terrible news. 
We've been following your Family's progress through life via our dear Friends, Jimmy & Nilda. 
Please know that we are with you all during this very difficult time.
Love,
Carolyn & Bob

Dear Cameron, Leslie, and Catherine:

I am very sorry to hear of your loss.  My thoughts are with you.

Dear Leslie and Cameron

As I am sure you have heard from many I cannot imagine the pain associated with the tragic loss of DJ at such a young age. I was out of province all last week only to learn of his passing on my return this past Sunday. I deeply regret not being able to express my condolences in person or attend the service. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Warmest regards


Gordon MacLean

Dearest D.J.,

You stole my heart many years ago and you've never let it go.

You will always have a special place in my heart.

Dear Leslie and Cameron:

I was very saddened to hear of the tragic death of your son DJ, although I did not have the pleasure of knowing him I am confident that he was a fine young man, ( he had the right bloodlines).

I have not seen you in many years, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. 

Best Regards

Walter Rutherford

My son Stefan from the Robert Land Academy spoke of DJ as funny, happy and always with a smile. His photo memories showed that well.

Stefan said plans were made Sunday afternoon for the 3 to meet in Vancouver for Christmas - DJ, Connor and Stefan. Instead they will meet in Halifax today - 2 good friends standing beside DJ.

Although I did not know DJ personally, I know well your family Seamus, Margo and Conner in Vancouver. 

God Bless your family today during this tragic event.  We will be thinking of you tomorrow. You will be in our prayers and forever in our hearts.

To the family of DJ,

May your hearts remain open to God's love and blessings especially through out this extremely difficult time.  Me and my family's thoughts are wrapping you in tender light.  Our sincerest condolences.

Incredible sadness will be tempered with the great memories we have of DJ. Our family will so fondly remember the fun outings we shared when the boys were little. We really enjoyed the time we got to spend with DJ. A special kid, who loved his family very much.
Louise, Vince and Dorian Baker

Dearest Leslie, 
I am deeply saddened by this tragedy. DJ and I had a special connection and I am very grateful to God that we had the opportunity to spend some happy times with him in Guelph. I will cherish those good memories forever in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Cameron and Cass at this extremely difficult time. Love, Marie Thorne

Our son Robert attended RLA with DJ. He came home at Thanksgiving and was happy to tell us about his new friend D.J., whom he connected with and whose company he enjoyed. It was horrifying to get the news this morning of his passing. My son is understandably distraught but your family needs the love and support of all to get through this time. 
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Leslie, my deepest sympathy to you and your family.   There are no answers to the many, "why" questions, we just keep going and perhaps the thought that a new energy force has entered the universe will help in some way to think of DJ as an everlasting entity.  Sincerely and with understanding,
