Dage and Sue
So very sorry to hear about your beautiful son, Dage. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sue and Dage,
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Dage III. Please accept my sincere sympathy and hope you will receive comfort in knowing others care.
When we moved next to you on Pine Street, both he and Justin were teenagers. Now, big brother Dage will look after little brother Justin.
And you will always be remembered as the best neighbors anyone could have.
Love,
Yana Shapiro and Family
I am shocked and beyond saddened at this news. I remember when Justin died suddenly at 16. Knowing the brothers are reunited does little to ease the suffering of Sue and Dage. No parent should ever have to face this and endure such pain. I offer all of my prayers and loving thoughts to Sue and Dage. May God grant you peace and strength at this devastating time. All my love, Alan Cote
I’m so sorry I neglected to tell Debbie how sad I am for her and your dog. Dage truly found a wonderful life with you. I pray God comforts you and gives you strength. Lean on your loved ones. They love you and will support you.
Sue & Dage,
I’m very saddened to hear of Dage’s passing. I’m unable to attend the service,but will be thinking of you and your family.
Much love,
Jim
