Dear Sevy Family,
I am shock and heartbroken to hear what happened to Joel and Travis. Although I have never met Joel in person, Travis is the nicest person I met in foreign service. Like father like son, I am sure Joel is also a wonderful person like his father. My deepest condolences to the Sevy family on your loss. I sincerely wishes Travis will get better and recover soon. 

Dear Sevy family,

Rest in Peace dear Joel...

My heart are with you, Travis, and praying for your surgery...

May you get through this very difficult time！

Our family is heartbroken to learn the devastating death of Joel and the significant injuries of Travis. We extend our deepest sympathies to your family during the tragic time. We are praying for your family stay strong, God bless Sevy’s family [Heart]

Dear Sevys,

When I think of Travis, the first thing that always comes to mind is the way that he spoke about his family. We were all starting families at around the same time, and his words of love for his family - and his faith in Lindsay's strength as you all navigated the difficulties of pregnancy and early parenthood - strengthened and comforted me in turn. Travis is one of the best, kindest people I know. I wish I had better words for this, but my prayers are with you as you go through these days, months, and years.

I read about your family's accident from Shannon's post. I want to pray for you that God will heal Travis and bring peace and comfort to the faithful Sevy family. Even though my faith is little, I try to wholeheartedly believe Joel is laughing with Jesus. I will lift your family up in prayers.

To the Sevy Family,
We are devastated by the tragic loss you have endured. You are in our thoughts during this incredibly sorrowful time. Travis, we hope you make a quick and complete recovery. 
Sincerely,
Chris, Myung Hee, Hannah, and Mina Rose

Dear Sevy Family,

My thoughts and prayers are so much with you at this time. I pray that peace, hope and faith will be an anchor to you as we mourn the loss of Joel and that doctors will be guided in their work so that Travis may quickly return home to you. 

Much love,
Pippa

Dear travis,

I want to pray for you. It also clearly wrote the scene of playing, running and dragon boats together 20 years ago. I hope you go smoothly and return safely.

You are brave, kind and self -disciplined, and hope you are safe.

我们全家为你祈祷明天的手术顺利，一切安好。

Dear Joel,

I didn’t spend a lot of time with you nor did I know you very well, but I know that you were a friendly and kind soul and I will always cherish the time I spent with you. You will be missed.

Yena

Dear Sevy Family,

Our prayers are with you all. We were absolutely devastated to hear the terrible news. We wish that there was something that we could do to ease your suffering.

Joel was such a kind young person. Keegan was lucky to be his friend. Your boys will be forever in our memories. 

Keeping you in our prayers for Travis' operation.

Marvin, Devin, Delaney, and Keegan

I cannot fathom the pain that the Sevy family must be going through. I never had the pleasure of knowing Joel too well, and I wish I had made more of an effort to get to know him better. Nonetheless, he was an amazing person and I know his presence brought tremendous joy to those around him. So much respect to Mr. Travis for his valiant act and I pray that he makes a speedy recovery. My heart goes out to Leif. Losing a sibling is heart shattering, let alone your twin. Please know that the ISB community is here to support you and your family.

I send the Sevy family strength and my deepest condolences.

Youngjin

Dear Sevy Family,

I am really sorry about your loss; I cannot even imagine the pain you must be going through. As you can see from this message board, you have so many friends here to support you and to lean on. I saw Joel around the Embassy in Beijing and even though I did not know him, I can tell from the pictures what a lovely young man he was. Travis, I wish you a speedy recovery, and I have no doubt you will pull through.

Sending all our sorrow and heartfelt condolences for the passing of your son, Joel. May his memory be a blessing.  

We also want to send our sincere hope for Travis’ full recovery. He is an amazing colleague and a truly outstanding human being.   With deep concern and sadness, The Moppert Family

Dearest Sevy Family, we are fasting and praying with you. We love you so very much. With all our hearts,

Dear Joel,

I still remember clearly that your loved father brought you to the office, and you greeted us happily. You were a happy angel, and your warm smile could heal my heart instantly.

I'm very sad and heartbroken for you leave. Your father loved you very much, and so did your family. And we all love you. I believe you just went to live in another world. You can see us. I pray you live happily in the other world and I'm sure you will join us in praying for your father speedy recovery. Your father and your family can be brave and strong through this most difficult time with your love.

Dear Joel

I remember when I first met you and Leif in track and field last year. You were kind and funny, and I remember bonding with you and Leif over running, hurdles, and much more. I am deeply saddened by your loss, and will cherish the short yet impactful memories we shared since I met you. Rest in peace.

To the Sevy Family--As this morning is Travis' surgery, I said this Jewish prayer:
When pain and fatigue are my companions, let there be room in my heart for strength. When days and nights are filled with darkness, let the light of courage find its place. Help me to endure the suffering and dissolve the fear, renew within me the calm spirit of trust and peace. Ba-ruch a-tah A-do-nai, ro-feh ha-cho-lim. We praise You, Eternal God, the Source of healing and health.

I will keep Joel, Travis and your family in the light and in my heart.
Daniel

Dear Joel,
You’re a kind, humorous, and friendly person. You can create a positive, sunny atmosphere whenever and wherever you are. I remember every time you made me laugh, I also remember your beautiful smile. Even though I will never see it again, however; I will forever remember it and I will miss you. We pray your father will recover soon. Rest in peace in the heaven.

I’m just a friend of your friends, who read about this terrible tragedy and share a part of your infinite sadness for the loss of this young and beautiful boy. May his sweet memory stay with you forever, beyond the pain that, I understand, is hurting you so much. A hug to all of you, from Denmark

Lindsay and Travis,
We are heartbroken about the passing of Joel. We love your family. We are praying for Travis during this important time. 

I wanted to share a memory of Joel. I remember in Taiwan you had our family over for dinner. Joel and Leif introduced our girls to the magic of the foam swords and shields. Coming from a house of Barbie’s and Dolls—it was pretty novel. We got our own set and still have it! 

We love you all. 
Jennie and Scott
