Dear Kristin,
No words can express how saddened I am for you and your family. Nothing in this world can ever prepare us for this kind of loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and I hope all the love, support and memories can help comfort you now and always.
Kristin-
I remember all the wonderful stories you told about your son’s adventures.. You supported him and allowed him to find his wings as any loving Mom would do. I hope that in the days, weeks and months to come, those stories and others that people share with you are able to bring some small measurement of comfort.
Please know that I will light a candle and say a prayer for you.
We were so thrilled to have you and Culley join our family. He was like one of our very own grandsons. Loved sharing time with him, he was always so joyful, loving and caring with a carefree spirit. And funny. I’ll always remember his beautiful smile. You were the light of his life and he yours. Cling to his memories, he’ll be there always to see you through. We love you.
I am so sorry for your loss Kristen, This is every mother worst nightmare and I cannot even try to imagine what you are going through. My heart goes out for you, may you have all the strength to go through this. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
I’m so sorry for your loss. My deepest condolences to the family.
I am so heartbroken for you all. Culley was a beautiful soul. May he live forever in the hearts of those who loved him. Sending my deepest condolences.
My sincere condolences go out to Culley’s family and friends, especially his parents Ken and Kristen. My son Daniel has been friends with Culley since high school as well as his housemate, with Nate and Mike for the last 2+ years. My heart breaks for you all. Rest in peace Culley!
Kristen, My sincere condolences to you and your family. I hope you find some solace in knowing so many care and have you in their thoughts and prayers. God Bless.
I’m so sorry for what happened to this young man who had a promising future ahead, whose life was tragically and suddenly cut short. I lost my 48-year-old brother the same way in September 2014, when some absent-minded driver turned in front of him. He lingered for 3 days until he finally succumbed to his injuries. Our family was never the same again because he was so special and never really got over his horrible accident.
Cully, it was great to meet you at the Adam’s house around the time we graduated. Loved watching your adventures through Snapchat and even watched you be friends with some of the kids I knew from FPT. I will be thinking about your friends and family. Rest easy.
My heart breaks for all of you; This is the hardest time for a parent to endure.. May God be with you all and keep you close through this tragic loss of Cully.
Kristen,
Norm and I are heartbroken for you and your family. We are thinking of you
with sympathy, Liz and Norm
My deepest sympathy and sincerest condolences for your loss. Prayers to you and your family through this extremely difficult time.
Kristin, there are no words to help ease this heartache. I’m so sorry. You and your family are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Sending sincere condolences and all my love.
Rest in pease friend. Condolences to the family… I can’t fathom the sorrow you must feel. I worked with Culley at Wegmans veggie Market. I always looked forward to working with him. We was always fun and humorous to be around. It made the day go quicker. He was infatuated with the stories I told him about the antics of my pet parrots. He always had many questions about them. I brought him a bird feather as a remembrance before he left for his new job.
Ken,
I was absolutely gutted to hear this news while away last week.. My condolences on your loss. Losing a child is unthinkable and is not the way the universe should work. Sending love and prayers to your family during these difficult times. As you shared with the WNMCG, Cully was a treasure, as are all children. Please accept my deepest condolences.

Ken, Mr&Mrs W, Allison and Chris,
My heart is breaking for you. I cannot even begin to imagine the devastating sense of loss you are feeling at the loss of your amazing young man who I never had the privilege to meet but had heard stories. Words cannot express how sorry I am for y’all. May you eventually find peace and comfort in your memories. You are in my thoughts today and in my prayers always. Love and hugs!
Marla, Kristin, Ken – I am so sorry for your loss but know there are no words or actions that can help. Unfortunately out of town and unable to attend today, but my thoughts, prayers and heart are with you during this very sad time. Sincerest condolences.
