Ryan Arbuckle Hey Alan,
We may not have spoken or seen each other in years but we grew in the neighbourhood together and their we stick together! I am sorry to hear about Carter, I know everyone is saying that at this time but remember to hold your head high. If the doctors and yourself did all you could then honour Carter’s memory, cherish the memories and move forward with one foot at a time. There is no good time for anyone to pass away but there is always a reason, we just have to find it amongst all the grief. Remember to smile and be present for Declan. The smile will assist on your way back to happiness and laughter well help ease the pain. Let me know if you ever need to chat.
Cheers,
Ryan Arbuckle

Hey I´m Jayden and Carter is my good friend. In third grade we were very good friends, then the first day of 4th grade he was gone. I checked everywhere I thought everyone pranked me until it was on the announcements. He is such a kind amazing kid. Though he was very quiet and I was very talkative I still miss Carter to this day and know we would still be good friends. Rest in peace, never forgotten, Carter Bonsdorf.
