I met you during Christmas trips home with my step-mom, Annamae. When I heard about your loss, I felt the need to write my experiences.
I lost my husband 10 yrs. ago, and my only son 5 yrs. ago. I pray that you both can find a place of peace for your own emotions, fears, and loss. Then you can help each other and your son.
Many blessings.
God Bless.

Dear Novak family, I have never met you personally but I wanted to say that your in my prayers. I cannot begin to imagine the pain your experiencing right now. But I do know that God can give you exactly what you need during this time of grief. It might not feel like He is there at times but believe me He will never leave you.

May the prayers and presence of others send comfort to you, and may God hold close your beautiful boys. My thoughts and prayers will be with you, and I wish to send you strength and faith for the future.

Novak Family-
Words cannot express the thoughts and prayers we are sending your way. We are so sorry for your loss. This is something that no one can really comprehend as to the reasons why, but I am praying you can feel comfort in knowing that those beautiful boys are forever wrapped in God's love. You have 2 absolutely amazing angels watching over through every ray of sunshine and every drop of rain. Keep your memories, your faith, and your family close as you move through these next days, weeks, months, and into the future.
With Deepest Sympathies,

The Cord- author unknown
We are connected,
My child and I, by
An invisible cord
Not seen by the eye.
It's not like the cord
That connects us 'til birth
This cord can't been seen
By any on Earth.
This cord does it's work
Right from the start.
It binds us together
Attached to my heart.
I know that it's there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my child to me.
The strength of this cord
Is hard to describe.
It can't be destroyed
It can't be denied.
It's stronger than any cord
Man could create
It withstands the test
Can hold any weight.
And though you are gone,
Though you're not here with me,
The cord is still there
But no one can see.
It pulls at my heart
I am bruised...I am sore,
But this cord is my lifeline
As never before.
I am thankful that God
Connects us this way
A mother and child
Death can't take it away!

Novak family, What a precious picture of your beautiful boys. You don't know me but I wanted you to know something. I was fortunate enough to watch my mother pass onto eternal life and she was able to tell me what she saw in Heaven. She said it was the most beautiful place she has ever seen and everyone was beautiful and happy. She said the colors were colors she has never seen before. It was peaceful, bright and one thing that amazed me was she didn't want to come back. She said she had to wait for Jesus to come and get her. I told her to run to him as fast as she could. I am sure your boys did the same. We here on earth are the ones suffering. They are both happy running together and they will be together forever. I hope that some day your hearts will be happy again. I am so sorry this happened to you and may your boys be the angels on your shoulder.

My prayers and most sincere condolences for the parents, Curt and Jen, and the rest of the Family and Friends of Clayton and Colton. Having lost a daughter at a young age I do know of the pain you all must be feeling at this time. To honor Clayton and Colton and to offer some small solace I submit the following....
A PAIR OF BRIGHT LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT...(By Michael M. Kelly Sr.)
Bright lights have gone out and let some of the darkness in,
And only God understands why.
We who are left behind are not to understand,
But maybe we have to accept.
We have to accept that for a little while,
Clayton's and Colton's bright lights were sent to be among us,
For us to enjoy,
And now they have gone back to God,
Where their bright lights can shine forever.
Please don't be sad for them,
They have gone to a place where they will be happy always,
And they will forever, remember your love.

You don't know me but I just wanted to share that my heart has been breaking ever since I heard about the boys' accident and passing. I have a 9 year old son myself - born just the day before Clayton & Colton. I cannot imagine the pain your family must be feeling. It is my sincere wish that Clayton & Colton are at peace and that, in time, their family & friends find peace as well. You have my thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies. May God bless you all.
