Tomorrow we will celebrate the life of Chase Varney, who is one of our family
members.

Today we skipped school and sports and drove 6 hours to be with family, so that we could be together and be ready for tomorrow morning.
We have felt lots of stress and anxiety and fear this week, as well as love and uncertainty. We’ve laughed and cried, sat silently and yelled, missed assignments and appointments and forgot the ice cream in the car. We are a mess.
Losing Chase has affected so many, from friends to loved ones, and to those who didn’t even know him. We are filled with sorrow. With his passing, we are keenly aware that life is uncertain, unpredictable, and unfair, even when you do what’s right. This is not comforting and yet it’s raw and real and we are vulnerable. There are no guarantees, which is why we try to live life to the fullest with love and laughter every day.
Tomorrow we will celebrate Chase and hold on to each other for comfort, as we navigate the next steps that are to come.
Godspeed, Chase. We love and miss you so much and we wish your family the strength to carry on.
Namaste.

Good luck tomorrow Adriana. I know it will be very hard, sad and emotionally draining. But in another way you will be bringing strength and love to Laurie’s family and all of the rest of your extended and immediate family that needs this time to grieve together as one. I’ll be thinking of you and praying for all of you. Love you my friend, Jess
