Adam John Kausak
A beautiful heart stopped beating. On January 17, 2002 after completing the first semester of sophomore year, our loving fifteen-year-old son, Adam, an honor student at Grayslake Community High School in Illinois, died of a heart condition called LQT Syndrome. Around 4:00 P.M., his mother, Colleen, went out with our son Andy. When she returned an hour later, she found Adam lying on his bedroom floor. She immediately called 911, started CPR, and administered our home defibrillator paddles. Every...

Adam Walter Wilkens
Our incredibly sweet Adam died unexpectedly March 7, 2019 in his sleep at the age of 36. He was a very healthy and active man and had no symptoms. He leaves such a gaping hole in this life to all those who met and loved him especially myself, his boys (ages 4 and 7), his family, his in-laws, and all his co-workers/friends. It has been a journey to try to find out what has happened to him as I had heard several times that he was "perfect". As I sat in my office one day, I had an overwhelming ...

Anastasia Day Myers (told by Shannon Cron - mother)
Anastasia grew up a normal healthy child. She loved dance, gymnastics, piano, basketball and most of all softball. She smiled all the time and had more friends then we even knew about. She was an A-B student. Her best friend Molly and her were inseparable most the time. A lot changed this summer of 2016. We finally took another family vacation, Anastasia was to be a freshman and made the softball team, she finally got braces on July 1, 2016 and was finally showing confidence in her appearance...

Andrew Stafford
My son Andrew's story is one of tragedy, but also one of triumph. It started early one afternoon in July 1991 when the telephone rang. A sheriff's deputy said that Andrew, our fifteen year-old son, had been taken unconscious from a car and paramedics were driving him to a local Houston hospital. I assumed Andrew had been in a car wreck. As a minister, I have been with many families who have received similar calls. While the anxiety is always great, I knew that many times the outcome was better t...

Ashleigh Koglin
Wow when I sat and thought about putting this in a story for someone else to read, I thought could I ever summarize those events to explain the sudden reality of what I now can say our community went through, I always wonder when I pass if I would have many show, or remember me.. Well for Jennie she did, it made me feel so at peace to see how every one stepped up and helped say goodbye to one of the most amazing friends I ever had the pleasure of knowing, and now helping raise her child....

Bailee Ann Bullock
After months of trying to write Bailee's story and trying to describe how beautiful, loving and amazing she was in a few paragraphs I finally decided that it's not possible, so I am going to try my best to sum her whole 15 years and 10 months up in a few paragraphs. Bailee was born June 2nd, 1997 and was the prettiest little baby I had ever seen! She was so tiny and had bright blue eyes and enough dark hair on her head that she left the hospital with a little pony tail on top of her head. When...

Brett Patrick Heneghan
Brett passed away from Long QT Syndrome on June 16, 2014 at the age of 29. He was a graphic designer, a lover a music and animals, and an artist above all else. He was witty, smart, and gentle. He could walk into a room and strike up a conversation with anyone, and everyone liked him. He had gotten married just 5 weeks prior to his death and was looking forward to welcoming a son at the end of September. It took a long time to figure out the cause of his death, but genetic testing confirmed that...

Brian C. Bening
What do you say about the person you were on the verge of growing old with? I was 17 days away from proposing to the most amazing man I had ever met when I came home and found him. He was 39 years old. He was brilliant and beautiful and kind. We were so in love and we lived it everyday. We never fought and I always felt that he was too good to be true. But he was true and he was real and he was mine. ...
