No one even told me he had a funeral. I loved him very much and he will always live on in my heart. Also it’s Ace.

I'm the younger sister I miss my brother deeply I didn't get to spend enough time with him

My heart ached for you and for your beautiful and treasured Grace as I read the Herald this morning. Earlier in my life I devoted a period of my life and practice to helping parents resolve the struggles they have with their adolescents. Recently, I've spent nearly two years studying the work of Gabor Mate and others devoted to changing the attitude of society so that we can see the terrible pain which underlies mental health struggles and the desperate methods tried by all, young and old, to end that pain. At my advanced age, I'm not sure how I can do much but tell as many people as possible about what I've learned and and encourage them to treat those who suffer with concern and empathy. We must stop asking "What is the matter with you?' and start asking "What happened to you?" I really appreciate your willingness to share your pain and Grace's struggles with the all who read about your lovely daughter. Your warning may save someone.

My heart has been at its heaviest.

Gracie-

We didn’t have enough time to encapsulate you with the love and support that you felt you could heal your soul. I am so grateful for all the video chats and finally had the blessing of meeting you. I’ll remember that day forever: the look on your face going into that candy store with a $100 bill was priceless. The hug goodbye as we parted ways on that beautiful day; I’ll remember that day forever. You were so happy a little baby cousin was coming soon. I wish we had more fun visits to remember. May your soul finally be at peace

We will love you always.

Aunt Tiff, Uncle Krunal and baby Maverick

I'm a stranger.... but when a young person is gone it breaks my heart, especially to such a horrible illness. Thank you for your courageous honesty; I hope that it brings this horrid reality to somebody and their family who is struggling to find their way. She will live on always in a special place with all who cherished her. PS - if I had a daughter I would've named her Grace; it's my favourite name.

Dear Grace, family and friends. It is a great tradety to see what society has done to our most valuable children. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Debra Lariviere and family.

Sweet Grace. My heart hurts being so far away. I wish I could have been there to hold your hand and tell you how much I love you. Our family will never be the same as our heartbreak is profound and so unbelievably painful. I hope you know how loved you are, and how much you are missed. I’m sorry I wasn’t there as much as I should have been. I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.

I love you. - Aunt Michelle

Sweet Grace.

We were lucky to spend many summer days and nights with you over the last few years. You joined us on many adventures since grade 5 when you and D became near inseparable. We did movies at the park, BBQs, swimming at the lake & outdoor pools, baking cookies etc. We loved having you around. You will be greatly missed by our family. Rest in Paradise, darling.

Our sincerest condolences to Graces family, friends and loved ones during this difficult time.

To my lovely niece, I love you so much. I would give anything for another smile or even an eye roll from you. You gave this world so much light and love.

You’re truly so amazing, kind and sweet. Im going to miss you so much. Please watch over us. We love you.

Love always, your Aunty Kim, Uncle Jay and Cousin Elaina
