Happy Birthday Conor


Happy Birthday Conor!! this is such an amazing site. Not a day goes by that i do not think about Conor. I often find myself saying "Conor would love this" or "I wish Conor was here right now", although I know that he is truly there with us in spirit...I hope you are all well!


What a beautiful, wonderful site. Words can't begin to express the sheer pleasure and profound sadness that overcame me when I viewed it. It's one of those great accomplishments, the mixture of loss and remembrance. Conor was and is still such a profound example of all that's good - the right and bright in the world. His death reminds me of all that's not - the inexpressable loss and sorrow. I think of him often, sitting beside Dad, the two of them pointing us out as we fumble through our days, prompting us along, keeping us from giving up, answering our middle-of-the-night prayers with the promise of dawn.

What a wonderful website! Thank you so much for sharing it with me. All of our pictures are at mom and dad's.... I have so many fun memories with all of you... and would really LOVE to get together soon.

Thanks so much for sharing. I will think of Connor at Taylor's birthday from now on.

What a beautiful site...I think I was able to post a comment, but if I did something incorrectly, I'll try again. Wishing Conor a very happy one and thinking of ALL of you today and everyday.

Please tell Conor Lorna and I said Happy Birthday. Your love for yourson is an inspiration and reminder to us rookie parents.The blog was truly wonderful, it made us smile.

My heart grieves for you because I can tell that Conor is still so much in your everyday thoughts and prayers. What a wonderful young man he must be.

My thoughts are with you. I enjoyed looking at the beautiful pictures of Conor; his smiles; his laughter; his love; his gorgeous blond hair; what a beautful, beautiful boy.
Mike, My thoughts are with you. I will always remember your son the way you described him and your daughters at the sports dinner.You had a fatherĀ“s love in your eyes.

My goodness what a lovely website -- thank you so much for sharing it with me. I just spent 15 minutes reading through and reflecting on everything. I love the pictures of Conor's smile and was particularly touched by the black and white photo of your husband swinging the golf club -- I will never forget that moment. Thank you so much for passing this along and having my grandpa in your thoughts yesterday. I had no idea that they shared the same birthday. Words cannot express the sorrow that I feel that Conor is not (physically) here with us. It is a testament to his spirit how strong your family is and the many ways with which you keep his memory alive. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts, my heart and my prayers.

Thank you Michael, and Louis, and Whitney, and Alden. And I can't help but notice the handiwork of Barbara. The images are just beautiful.

Love,
Patty
