Carissa & Jerod:
Addie was a wonderful little girl who lit up many lives and we were glad to be a part of her life. It’s so hard to loose her but may you find some comfort in knowing that she did not have to suffer.
I saw a plaque that says “Remembering her is easy I do it every day. Missing her is a heartache that never goes away”
Please remember we are all here for you to help in any way we can.
To Jerod and Addison’s family,
We are so sorry for your loss and share deeply in your sadness. We are holding you close in our thoughts and are sending you healing prayers and comforting hugs! May our Lord and Savior wrap you in HIS tender care with the peace that passes ALL understanding.
Much Love and deepest sympathies,
your Renovation Training family – Plymouth MN
I remember Addison as a sweet, vibrant first grader at the YMCA Schoolage program. Thinking of your family during this difficult time.
To Jerod and Carissa,
I don’t know you personally but my youngest two kids attended the Y with your daughter. You also purchased your first home on 14 1/2 St. from me and my ex-husband. I don’t know exactly what happened to Addison but I know my son came home and told me about the emergency and I had been sending up prayers since then. My heart broke for you in your loss of your sweet girl when I heard the news that she had went to heaven. I know the feeling of losing a child as I have a special angel tooand I know the pain you’re feeling today as I went thru that same pain 20 years ago. It’s a pain I wouldn’t wish on anyone and am so sorry you are having to go through this. I wish I could share with you some magic words that helped me survive the worst pain ever but honestly there are no words in times like this. I can only say that I am lifting you up in prayer in these coming days, weeks, months, and years. May you feel God’s love surround you as you lay your daughter to rest and for all the tough days ahead. I know my son Jordan has welcomed her up there in the big playground and they are playing with all the other children. They are laughing and playing to their hearts content and watching over their loved ones. Lean on others for support. Allow yourself to grieve and find comfort in moments that make you feel closer to her. She was a light here on earth and that light will continue to shine. Hold on to your sweet memories you hold so dear to your heart and may you feel her presence with you always. God bless and RIP sweet angel. Hugs to you all!!❤
Sincerely,
Angie Vaagen-Froehlich

I am very lucky to have had the chance to spend almost everyday with Addison this summer and for the school year this year. My heart breaks for you Addison. We all love and miss you so much at the Y. Your memory lives in our classrooms & in our hearts. You were an incredible young lady.
