My dearest Mrs. Sacks,
I just recently heard of this horrible news and I wanted to write to you and your family to wish you my most sincere condolences. You taught me in the course of Dynamics of Design at Marianopolis a few years ago and I remember you talking fondly about your son. He seemed like a wonderful soul, just like his mother! I hope you’re holding up well, and I wish you, your husband, and everyone in his circle nothing but love and peace.
I am only just hearing of this now, but I wanted to reach out and send my deepest condolences to your family. Carl was my sons JK/SK teacher about 10 years ago, and he had a true gift for the job. My son, husband and myself absolutely adored Carl and even now that my son is 14 he still remembers Mr Creatchman as one of his favourite elementary teachers. We will always remember him fondly as one of the kindest most genuine people we’ve met.
Terry and Deena,
Please excuse the delay I communicating with you! I have just heard the news of your terrible loss. I can only hope that you are somehow coping. I have always felt that I could cope with anything that life could throw at me except the loss of a child so I cannot imagine what you are going through now. I can only wish strength and fortitude for you. I always remember you Terry as a very conscientious caring physician who would always take the time and trouble to cover every aspect of your patient’s care so knowing the sort of persons that you and Deena are this must be a terrible burden to carry.
Thinking of you both.
Ian Doris.
Dear Dr. Creatchman, Deena and Eric,
I was shocked to read about Carl, and can not even imagine what you are going through.
I remember both your boys fondly from our days at Hampstead Day Camp — they were shy, nice kids. I’m glad to see that Carl created a good life for himself, and it doesn’t surprise me to read that he was very loved by family, friends and students alike. May you find peace in knowing that in his short life, he surely made his mark on all those around him. I am so very sorry for your loss. Please know that you will be in my thoughts.
Dr and Dina Creatchman – Albert and I extend the deepest of condolences to you and the family. You are in our thoughts and prayers! May his memory remain forever a blessing.
Dear Terry and family,

Dear Deena, Terry and Eric,
My deepest condolences on the tragic passing of Carl. Although we had not seen each other in many years, I will always remember him as a kind, bright and compassionate person, who always had a smile on his face. It is amazing to hear what a beloved educator he became. He clearly followed closely in your footsteps, Deena.

Dear Dina and Terry.
We are stunned and hurting to hear about the untimely death of your dear son, Carl. There cannot be a more heartbreaking event in a parent‘a life than losing their child. You are in our hearts and prayers. May his memory be for a blessing. Judith and Andu Coret.
My sincerest condolences to Carl’s family and friends. Carl was one of the loveliest people I knew. We met in high school briefly before he moved. He was so funny and so kind-a significant contrast to the hardness of so many in that school. I can see him clearly with a mushroom cut and a huge smile jumping around trying to make us all smile. We were in youth group together, he and I went to a massive Boxing Day sale with my dad who, to this day, remarked on his patience and big heart. We kept in touch on and off over the years. He always has and always will hold an extremely dear place in my heart and will be sorely missed.
Dr. and Mrs. Creatchman and family.
I was devastated to hear of the loss of your son Carl. Please know thoughts you are in my heart and in my prayers.
