I wanted to send out an update expressing how completely GRATEFUL I am for all of you flooding Melissa, Ryan and the boys with support. Thank you doesn’t feel like enough! 

Our son had the same rare disorder as Christopher. When Emmett died last year I remember the fear of how much everything was going to cost. I had to stop myself the first few days from constantly running numbers. My goal has always been to make sure that the Schlemmers do not have to worry financially. I want them to be able to give Christopher the service he deserves not the service they could afford. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for helping me achieve this goal. It wasn’t doable alone. 💚 
Melissa is reading all your words. Your love and support is holding them up during this horrible time.

For those of you close to the family and wanting to travel to support in person, Melissa and Ryan are meeting with the funeral home on Tuesday and hope to have a date finalized for services then.
