Marianne and Aaron, Our hearts ache with yours. The Daggetts

Marianne and Aaron, Our deepest heartfelt sympathy to you both and your extended family. 15 is too young for an obituary, however that was one of the most impressive tributes for such a young life. She did more in 15 years then many do in 80. That does not ease the loss and wishing it undone. May her loving memory be eternal. John & Elizabeth Kennard,

Dear Callan: When I think of you I see your smiles, joy, and curiosity. I recalled a little girl who grew so tall so fast visiting her dad’s office every now and then. I also saw how much love & pride shining in your parents eyes when they spoke about you. I love reading your writing about animals and the world you observed—such insightful & introspective. It was a gift to see you a few weeks ago with your dad walking proud with La Follette flag in his hands. You were so loved & cherished. May your spirit be freed and may your soul finds peace.

Marianne- I'm thinking of you constantly and sending you strength. Please know that you have a community of support in engineering. My heart goes out to you. Amanda Hammatt

The world has lost a great talent. May ours memories of her light and joy carry us forward. Much love Dani Ascarelli
