I think we, as wrestling family forget sometimes how fortunate we are with all the traveling we do from October through July for the sport we all love, to be thankful for returning home safely. If we add up all the miles on the road for all the wrestling family in KS alone, we would be surprised. Our prayer to this family and the team and all invlolved in this tragic loss. It will sting for a long time.

No words can express the sorrow we are feeling. I am speechless for your loss.

We know that nothing can heal your sorrow at this moment, but hopefully you can look back and see the love from a community of people that share a common interest and even though many of us did not know your son personally he is a part of all of us.

Please know that we will keep you, your family, friends and community in our daily prayers.

My family can not find the words to heal your pain but we have found great comfort in the following words when we recently lost a LOVED ONE FROM OUR FAMILY:

Life is just a stopping place
A pause in what's to be
A resting place along the road
To sweet eternity
We all have different journeys
Different paths along the way
We all are meant to learn some things
But never meant to stay....
Our destination is a place
Far greater than we know
For some the journeys quicker
For some the journeys slow
And when the journey finally ends
We'll claim a great reward
And find an everlasting peace together with the Lord.

Our hearts go out to the Siruta family back in Colby as well. Obviously there are no words that can express how we all feel. The wrestling family in Colby is one of the best there is anywhere and they will group together in support and be available in anyway they can for the Siruta family I can assure you. Blake, or any of the board members in Colby, if a memorial is established please post it on the website. I am sure that many of us in the wrestling community would like to be aware of it.

the Fredonia wrestling club is very happy to hear the news on your recovery. I had some members asking about your family the other day. You will still be in our prayers. And our condolences for your loss.
The tournament was one of our greatest memories and one of our saddest. Tate was in our son's bracket. How heartbroken we felt the next day to hear of such sad news. Tate is in our video and in many pictures and we will always remember him. Melissa if you or your husband read this and would like any pictures that we might have taken that might be different from what you have please let me know. And I would love to send a copy of our video of the announcing of the State Placers if you don't already have it. I just need some info on how to copy it as it's on a tape and not a disc? We pray that God will give you comfort during this time and know that Tate is with him in Heaven....Blessings to your family.
My email is doublebp@msn.com...feel free to email me if you would like any pics emailed to you....

Love,
The Perez Family
