These injuries seem to be healing fast for most of the family, but the loss of Michele will be felt for a long time to come. I thought that loosing Michele would soon dissipate, as usual I'm being proved wrong. I have become lost and not sure what I as an in-law am supposed to do. Not only did Chloe get injured, but Melissa lost her mom and best friend. This has caused a dilemma in my heart and mind as to which situation warrants my attention the most. I have decided that I must run faster with the help of everyone around me. We can do it together.
Now, let me say this we have truly been blessed. We have had support come from all around us. At Bear Lake we met some truly amazing people who helped us with everything. They came to us and met our needs just after the accident and continues still. When we got back to camp everything was packed and ready to go. People from all over the campground came to support us and get us on the road. I cannot ever explain how much these people who knew nothing of us, came and took care of our family. We are truly blessed to have met these wonderful people. All I can do is Say THANK YOU, we are fortunate to have met these wonderful people.
As the Funeral came we continued to receive an incredible amount of support from our families and friends, they came from all over the country to make sure we were taken care of and that we knew we were loved. Often time I have taken this for granted and not realized how important it is to have a strong family around me. The gratitude needed to express the support we have received here at home has slipped away from me and all I can say is I LOVE YOU.

Nephi and Melissa' All our thoughts and prayers are with you. Call when you need to talk to. We are always here for you. All our Love, John Lisa and Kids.
I wish I could take your pain and just hold it for a little while - that's what big sisters do. My heart aches for you both. Nephi - just keep praying that your load will feel light and you will be able to take care of both of your sweet girls. Melissa - time will heal your sorrowing heart. We love you!!! You are strong enough with the help of the Lord to overcome this pain. You will be in our thoughts and prayers always. Call if we can do more to help!
You both have some wonderful friends. This past week has been amazing. Depths and heights of human emotion before unimaginable and now shared. "In-law" is such a gentile concept Nephi. You are family and always will be. I share Melissa's sentiment.It seems you always have been. You were and are always there when needed. I know Melissa is safe with you. We all love you Nephi. Uncle (Older) Steve. Not to be confused with uncle (younger) Steve
I hope you're doing well right now. I've been thinking about you and praying that you're doing okay. If you need anything, we're just a phone call away.

Melissa I was so hoping to get the chance to talk to you on Wednesday at the funeral. I hope that you are doing okay. I wish I would've known your mom a little better, she sounds like she was an amazing woman! I would like to do something for you guys but don't know what. If you ever need ANYTHING please don't hesitate to ask. You have been in my thoughts and prayers and will continue to be. We love you!
I am Shannon's cousin, and Mary Bishop's niece. I just wanted you to know that even though I don't know your family, I am mourning with you! My heart breaks for your family and may the Lord watch over and comfort you at this very difficult time. Especially Melissa!
Praying and thinking of you!
I am so sorry for your loss Melissa and Nephi. Your family will be in our prayers.
TO Nephi, you are an amazing husband to be strong for your wife and child through this difficult time. TO Melissa, I know it will be hard at times...but that is when you need to let someone in and give you service. Service not only helps you but it also helps the person giving the service. If you need to talk I am here. I was there with you at Bear Lake. I also came to the viewing. please let me help in any way.

It was indeed a sad week and I know it will be hard moving forward. We just want you to know how much your family, sisters, and father have been in our prayers. We love you all very much!
We wanted to express our love and appreciation to you and your family for the wonderful experiences we had during such a hard time for all of us. You are all in our prayers and we hope to see you more often than we have in the past. We were able to witness how much we truly love being in Utah, but more importantly, amongst our family.
Just wanted to say we love you guys so much. It was wonderful to see all of you. We always enjoy spending time with you both. Hope we can see eachother again soon. Disney, X-mas, or something like that. Our prayers are with your family. Give a hug to that beautiful daughter of yours for us. Love you!
