Pax Corbyn Schwend - Rest in Peace

To our great sorrow, our son has moved on to a better place.

Rest in Peace

Pax Corbyn Schwend
“Peaceful, Raven” in latin

Rest in Peace

We love you. We miss you. We will think of you always.
You will live on in our hearts.

For anyone wishing to do something for us, we are asking people to help us remember our son by contributing in one of the following ways:

Plant a tree in honor of our son. Pick a tree, any tree, and plant it somewhere where it can grow big, strong and healthy in honor of our son. Please, let us know where it is and what kind of tree it is so that we might be able to visit it and watch it grow over the years. It would really mean a lot to us all to know there are a bunch of trees out there growing just for him.

Make a donation to one of the following Congenital Heart Defect Foundations. It doesn’t matter at all how much the donation is. Anything helps. You don’t have to tell us how much you’ve donated; just let us know that you’ve made one. We’ve decided to make a yearly contribution as a remembrance.

Either one of these would immensely help us and our family in the healing process right now. It will take some time. We appreciate all the love and support.

Chad and Nicki~ You are in our thoughts and prayers. If you need anything- even just a night out of the house- don't hesitate to call or stop by....let us know. We are here for you (along with many others I'm sure).

Chad and Nicki,
I just can't even imagine how hard this is for you. I want you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers. I know there is nothing we can say to make it any better, but if you need anything just let us know.

Chad and Nicki,

Tomoko and I were so sorry to hear about Pax' passing! It is impossible to come up with anything to say that doesn't sound trivial or clichéd, but we want you to know that you are in our thoughts, and that if there is anything we can do to make things a little easier, we are happy to do it.

We have purchased a lilac plant, and will plant it in the corner of our yard in Pax' honor. It will hopefully spread that wonderful lilac scent throughout the neighborhood for years to come. If you want to talk or, really if there is anything we can do, please let us know. I'm sorry to write this on the blog rather than via direct e-mail. I don't have the e-mail address with me here at work and I didn't want this message delayed any further.
