My thoughts are with you and your family today.  Cathy Almquist


I remember our long walks trying to get Will to enter this world. Once our babies were born, they instantly seemed to truly “get” each other. One would wait by the preschool window for the other to arrive, their little faces would light up and they’d run to each other and hug.  May all your wonderful memories of Will bring you comfort and joy! Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers!

Rob, Nicole and Brooke—- you have all been in our thoughts and prayers since Will’s death.  May your good memories, faith, family and friends support you during this difficult time.  Know that he is at peace with God and God is with you.

I went to middle school with Will, we are the same age and had a few classes together in 8th grade. He was always a quiet, respectful individual. We didn't talk much, but when we did he always greeted me with a smile. I was bullied pretty relentlessly in 8th grade so having someone who ignored the gossip and was kind to me, really helped me get through my days. I may not have been close to him, but hearing of a former classmate's passing is always very sad. Sending prayers and healing energy to his friends and family. Rest in Paradise Will. 

Nicole and family - I am so very sorry for your loss. Lifting you in prayer throughout these awful days.  Please know your HMS family is here for you. If there is anything I can do to support your recovery please don’t hesitate to ask. May God find a way to bring you some peace and fond memories.  My deepest condolences- Nancy

Rob, Nicole and Brooke,

Dear Loughman family,
I was heartbroken to hear of your loss.  It was a privilege to be Will’s history teacher at YRA.   He will be greatly missed.  I will be praying for comfort for you all as you go through the days ahead.

To our Loughman Family,

We are holding all of you in our hearts, now and always, and lifting you with love and prayers.

Dear Nicole, Rob, and Brooke,
It was a blessing teaching Will Civics & Economics at Hornsby Middle School.  Since Nicole and I planned social study lessons for the 8th and 6th grades, I felt like I was a member of your family.   Witnessing Will teach a lesson in Hebrew at his Bar Mitzvah, persuading Nicole to let him travel to Israel, eating casual meals with Will, introducing our grandsons to your family, and seeing the joy on Will’s face when graduating from the York River Academy made us realize how much Will and all of you truly touched our lives.   Will had such a kind-hearted spirit, and we will all miss him very much. My family and I are praying for all of you during this time and are here to support you.  We will cherish those special memories forever. 

To the Loughman Family,
We are so sorry to hear of Will's passing; our thoughts and condolences are with you at this time. 
Sincerely,
The Shriner Family

Nicole, Brooke, and Family,

Please know how much you, your husband, and Brooke are on my mind and in my prayers. In the depth of sorrow, may the comfort of God,  your friends,  and your family provide strength, comfort, and peace. Although I didn’t  really know Will, if he was anything like you and Brooke, he must have been quite a remarkable young man. May you always cherish and be comforted by your fondest memories of your precious son and brother, Will. 

My deepest condolences,
Kathy Poe
