DEVONNA AND FAMILY, I STILL CAN'T SEEM TO FORGET ABOUT WHAT A TRAGEDY HAS OCCURED IN YOUR LIFE. THEY WERE WONDERFUL YOUNG MEN AND BOTH HAVE BEEN TO OUR HOMES. I WOULD GO DOWN TO THE CHURCH, ENON, TO CLEAN AND THEY WERE ALWAYS THERE RIDING THEIR RIDING THEIR BIKES OR SKATEBOARDS. VERY POLITE AND WELL MANNERD. I USED TO TEASE THEM AND ASKED THEM IF I NEEDED TO MOVE MY JEEP OUT OF THEIR WAY. THEY HAD RAMPS BUILT AND EVERYTHING. DAVID WOULD BRING THE LITTLE GIRL UP TO SEE KATELYNN. YOU ARE IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS CONTINUALLY. I, TERESA, WENT TO SCHOOL WITH JULIA AND MARSHA. TELL THEM I SAID HI AND TO E MAIL ME SOMETIME.

Devona,I'm so sorry for the loss of your sons. I can't even imagine what you or the rest of your family is going through. For me its 2 great-nephews that I never even got to meet. We have lost track over the years & I never even got to know you or your sisters even though I think of you all the time. I do love all of you & hope we can all still be family. Tell your mom to call me (523-0590) or you or your sisters can. Love, Aunt Sue

My sister Devona has the biggest heart of anyone I know. Her boys, Chris (my Kissifur) and David also were very giving and caring boys. They loved to cut-up and goof-off to make you laugh. Chris loved his camera and skateboarding. David loved motorcycles, racecars, and 4-wheeling. My heart aches to see my sister hurt this way. The community has been very wonderful- you could not get this from anywhere in the world the support the family has recieved. David and Chris will definetally be missed. I love you Devona, Latisha, and Anthony.....your Tata

I am Robby's aunt, and I lived across the street from him for 5 years, untill we recently moved. I didn't know your boys well, but what I did know of them showed me that you had some special sons. David always had Caden, whom my ten year old daughter adored,( how could she not?).That really says alot for his maturity and love for his family. My husband told me yesterday that Chris was the boy who helped him dig up the tree stump in our front yard. Not many kids would volunteer to help a stranger with a job like that. It just really says alot about the goodness in your boys. We will miss Robby immensly.Our lives and the lives of our community will never be the same without these 3 very special boys. God bless you. I will remember you daily in my prayers

DEVONA, I CAN'T QUIT THINKING ABOUT YOU, NO WORDS CAN MAKE THE HURT GO AWAY. I DID'NT KNOW YOUR BOYS AFTER THEY GREW UP, BUT I REMEMBER THEM WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG, AND YOU USED TO BRING THEM IN MORRISONS MARKET. THEY WERE SO CUTE AS LITTLE BOYS, AND GREW UP TO BE TWO HANDSOME YOUNG MEN. AND JUST BY READING ALL THINGS PEOPLE HAVE WROTE ABOUT THEM, SHOWS NOW MUCH THEY WERE LOVE. MY THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU DEVONA.

I just wanted to let your family know that we are thinking about you and praying for strength for you all. We just laid our infant son to rest on December 1st. Our own pain is still so strong from losing one child; I can not imagine what you must be going through having lost two. Know that it is okay and normal now to scream, cry, hurt, and be angry. They tell me peace will come, we will pray for yours when asking for our own. Stacy, Shane, Chase, Caleb, Caden, and *New Angel Chance* Salt Rock, WV

Dear Family, I am truely sorry for your grief and loss. I have to pass by the accident site everyday on my way to work and home. I pass by slowly and I can feel the deep loss as I go thru there. There are no words that can bring you comfort right now for such a loss as this. But please know that there are people out there thinking of you. It humbles all of us to witness such a tragedy and loss. I pray that family and friends will surround you and hold you up in this time. Sheila Shepherd, Salt Rock, WV
