Excerpt from the Go Fund Me:

“On July 31 our beautiful children were taken from us suddenly. Our 12 Year old had fallen into the river and did not know how go swim. Our middle son, only 15, tried to go in after to save her, unfortunately, he also didn’t have swimming skills strong enough to do so.
Our Daughter Joyclyn was our only girl, our baby girl, She was the type of girl that could walk into a room and light it up with her smile. She was always silly, loved to joke and laugh, and was OBSESSED with stitch. Her favorite saying was “Ohana means family, and family never gets left behind.”. Our world seems a little darker without her bright light.
Kayden had JUST turned 15 at the beginning of July. Even though was more of an introvert but when he would create friendships, they were bonds that were unbreakable. He loved learning about science, Dinosaurs, Sharks, fossils, and loved his video games, But most of all, he loved his little sister.
They Left Behind Their Mother Stacey, Step Mother Heather, 2 Brothers, Brennon and Zackary, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, many cousins, and friends that loved them sooo very much.
They also Left a lasting impression on the many Teachers at the school they attended (Prince of Wales) from SK right through to graduating grade 8.
Any funds donated will help with costs associated with the loss, and to help the family during this difficult emotional and financial time.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts…”

    Stacey, Heather, Brennon, and Zach,
    I am deeply heartbroken and saddened by the tragic loss of Kayden and Joyclyn. I had the privilege of teaching each of you in different ways, and I carry memories of those times with me.

    Joyclyn will always be remembered when snails cross my path, and Kayden when sharks come up—they each left a unique mark. Their presence brought light and life to those around them.

    My heart aches for your family. Wishing you strength and peace in this difficult time.

    With sincere sympathy,
    Ms. Silvestri (Melissa)
