I did not know Tanner or your family. My daughter has a mutual friend of both boys. I wanted to convey my deepest sympathy to both families for this tragic loss. I know that at this time there are no words but those boys are together now taking care and watching over all of you from a view they never could before. I will pray for your families. God Bless You.

From: Shannon Flynn-Lucas

Dear Jespersen Family,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss of Tanner. It took me a minute to realize who it was when I saw the name in the Minot Newspaper online. It has been a while since I have seen or spoken you guys after a summer of babysitting for you back in Ruthville. I will always remember Tanner as a shy loving little boy at first, until he warmed up to you. He loved his sister Stephanie and he would always make sure she wasn't to far behind him in the things he would do. My deepest sympathy to you and your family at this time. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,
Shannon Flynn-Lucas

From: Dyson family

I wish there was something that could be done, or words that would help, but the reality is there is nothing at this moment, or no words at this moment that can. However, with that said, remember God is there and hearing your cries, seeing your tears and wanting to comfort you. We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our hearts are broken from the loss of Tanner. He holds a precious memory for all of us.
As we can't understand why Tanner has been robbed of his life, we must remember his special purpose in our lives. We pray for strength and courage to step forward into each and every day without our Precious Tanner. We love him, and love you all.

I met Tanner when he started going to DLB. He was a cool kid, he use to sit by me at lunch. I moved to Kansas City Mo last year so I'm not able to make it to the services but I want to let you know that you and your family is in my families prayers. May God be with you in your time of need. Tanner will be greatly missed!

From: Kelly Grigsby

Jesperson Family,
I remember Tanner from two places - your family lived just across the circle from my parents in Ruthville and I worked (still do) at the Glenburn School when he was in the first grade. My memories of him are that he was a cute, shy, quiet little boy with the blondest hair. I dis-tinctly remember visiting with him a little as he was playing on the slide on the playground during recess. I was thinking that you could envision Tanner playing on God's magnifi- cent playground in heaven. Hopefully, that thought will cause your hearts to smile, even a little bit. Believe that he is safe in the arms of Jesus.
With heartfelt sympathy and prayers to all of you,
Kelly Grigsby
