There are no right words to express how truly sorry I am for your loss. Never had the chance to meet Julian, but always heard sweet stories from his Aunt Charlotte. My heart is with you and your family, I pray you find the strength and courage to heal.

With love,

J’ai eu la chance de connaitre Julian grâce aux vidéos et photos que Charlotte me partageait souvent. J’ai toujours trouvé Julian très drôle et joyeux, j’aurais aimé le rencontrer, il avait l’air d’un garçon merveilleux et très curieux de la vie. Je suis désolé pour votre perte, je vous envoie toutes mes pensées et je prie que vous trouviez la paix.

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.

Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed, and very dear. When my daughter passed I said these words hundred of times a day. So So sorry for your loss my prayers are with you

I am so very sorry for your loss. No parent should ever have to lose a child. My heart goes out to the whole family. 

My heart is broken for your family.  Sending love and my deepest condolences over the loss of your beautiful boy. 

I am so sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with your family. May you have peace and comfort during this very difficult time.

While I never met Julian, I served on the Board of Trustees at Georgian Court University, Lakewood, NJ. with his grandfather and great grandfather. Knowing how much they treasure their families makes it crystal clear the pain you all are enduring right now. My heart aches for all of you. I pray that God heals your brokenness and comfort your hearts. Sending heartfelt prayers and much love your way. Jim, feel free to reach out if you need a spiritual friend to talk to. Much love, my friend.

Dear Jon and Eugenie, we wanted to let you know that our thoughts are with you. Although we’ve never met little Julian, he looks like a happy and bright child. As a first time mum I can’t imagine losing a child. My heart is heavy and aching for your loss. I can only hope that Julian is with the angels now and can feel your eternal love for him. We are reminded just how precious life is. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Please let us know if there’s anything we can do. Lots of love, Joanna

I am so sorry for your loss. May you find peace and healing.

Our most sincere and heartfelt condolences for your loss. Our hearts are so heavy this evening. Julian was a beautiful little boy.

A vivacious, beautiful, strong and happy boy. He left a huge impression when we visited his home on the farm. Blessed to have known him even if only for that short time. We pray for him. Deeply sorry J and E for the most tragic loss of Julian. With love, Rinchen

Je n'ai pas de mots assez forts pour exprimer mon désarroi, ma tristesse et soulager les vôtres. Je peux juste vous dire que je pense à vous du plus fort que je peux, que je garderai toujours une petite place dans mon cœur pour Julian et que notre porte sera toujours ouverte pour vous accueillir et vous réconforter. Je me souviendrai toujours de ce petit bonhomme si joyeux, si lumineux, pour qui la vie s'annonçait si belle dans votre coin de paradis.

Keeping Julian and all of the Knipper family in our prayers at this time. May God grant you comfort at this time.

Love,
Eileen and Bill Hart

No amount of words can express the pain that you are going through. We are sending you love and prayers and hope you are able to find strength during this dark time. May the Lord keep the little one safe in His arms.

My heart aches for Julian’s family. I only knew him through the stories and photos his loving American grandmother, Barbara, shared and now through Jon’s beautiful story. It is so clear that Julian was a brilliant ray of sunshine—a creative, smart, adventurous child with a heart-melting smile and loving nature. I wish you all strength in getting through the roughest days to reach the point where the stories and pictures that will keep him alive in your hearts bring smiles with the tears.

Sending thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Never had the chance to meet Julian, but heard wonderful things from his Aunt Charlotte. Sending love and warmth to your family ♥️

Heartfelt prayers for the entire family. God now has a beautiful and precious little angel. 

My heart goes out to the entire family. Such a tragedy. What a beautiful young man! 

I heard of this through my dear friend Katie. Through her, I and all of her friends know your son, and a piece of us goes with him to the next place. I am lighting a candle for him at the Mary Shrine of the local church this Thursday. My hope is that his spirit will forever not only be with you, but also, his little sister, her little, strong angel through her life. In your grief, I pray for you to have the faith to not despair. So much is lived in 3 years. Every moment matters. He is a beautiful boy and soul, an eternal gift. Know that all us mothers and parents grieve with you. We are holding you in our hearts always. We cry tears to honor his life and yours with him.
Love
Deborah

Dear John and Eugenie,

There are no words to express the saddest feeling on earth.
Please accept condolences from Bartkus family. We mourn in Philadelphia and Berlin and think about your angel. God give you strength to be in love and peace. Hug, Ina. 

Dear Jon and Eugenie,

I am still in disbelief about the loss of your precious Julian—who I came to know through his beloved Buelo’s many images and videos of him. 

May you be blessed with the peace that surpasses all understanding at this tragic time in your life.

You are in my heart and prayers!
Vanessa

Jim has been in touch with the terrible news. I remember Julian as a baby here in Irl. I think that there is a photo of all of us taken in the lounge or in front of the hall fire. Our hearts go out to your family, words fail and pain overwhelms our hearts. As best as we can we send our love and prayers X John Moriarty

Dear Deacon Jim and family.
Each of you are in my priestly prayers. it is no easy to start again. God will give you strength and hope. You are not alone this way. Bless Fr Miguel

Last night, Alena and I sat on the edge of our bed. In silence, we lamented the loss of Julian together. I woke many times throughout the night and was immediately grieved at the thought of what has happened. It seems that I have not been able to stop thinking about this tragedy since I had first learned of it.

Every other thing going on in life seems to pale in comparison to the magnitude of this loss.

Restlessly awake, I got up and went to the computer. I dug through files on our hard drive to find the videos of our time spent with Julian celebrating his first birthday in Virginia. I watched as his abuelo held him in his loving arms - gently meeting his lips to Julians forehead with a kiss. I watched as Julians eyes looked out in wonder at his family around him. A family, who with stringed instruments and raised voices, were singing together and making a joyful noise in celebration of his life.

And now I sit in the darkest of mirrored circumstances.

If the response toward life is being present and making a joyful noise then perhaps the response toward death is being present in the agonizing silence that ensues. I acknowledge this as I write these words - that my deepest sympathies are not and never will be enough and that no combination of words will ever help even to marginally dull the pain.

Alena and I sit in that place of silence with you. Across the sea and with as much love as we can pour into our silent wordless prayers for you - we ache and we groan and ask that the Lord hear our hearts as they petition for yours.

Love,

- Ron Ratcliffe

Our hearts go out to all of you. Much love and prayers. Bill and Michele Gittings

When I heard about this from Jim earlier today, my heart broke for all of you. What a horrific loss to suffer, I am so very sorry. May the angels speed sweet Julian to paradise, and my your inconceivable pain be eventually softened through memories and love.

Jon and Eugenie, Jim and Teresa, and all the family ... we feel grief and loss beyond all words. We share your tears and emptiness - and your tender memories. We hope you can feel all who love you coming to you in spirit, sharing our common bond of humanity, vulnerability, unspeakable loss, and heartbroken love.

today was meant to be your first day of school Julian...

Our deepest compassion to all who loved this beautiful little angel, including the many of us who are falling in love with him even now through your beautiful tribute. Our hearts are breaking for your family.

Charlie and I remember celebrating Julian’s birthday in Virginia when Jake and MaryBeth got married. He loved all the music and watching his family dance and sing! May you have peace and comfort during this difficult time. We love you and are praying for you.
