Jacques Vaarre 4th October 2007

Dear Shauna and Russ, Your loss is truly tragic and it has truly hit home with myself and Satu. I wanted to say many things to you but nothing would come out right. So here is a thought for you to consider as you mourn your loss. Everyone will live their lives with happy times and sad times. We will all have to endure a tragedy in our lives of some sort. There is no comparison for the tragedy one feels. This will absolutely test our resolve and will to live. It will test the extent of our strength and if we have them, our beliefs. The one thing that we should always remember is that we are not alone and that we should not only count on support from others in our times of need but grant our support to others who are suffering. I know that Jesse is no longer with you in your arms but he will always be in your hearts as well as the hearts of anyone who has known you and your family. Count on our love and support Shauna and Russ. With love, Jacques and Satu Vaarre
