Stephanie: It has been a long time since we spoke but I heard about your loss and wanted to express my condolences. I am and will be praying for you and your family in this difficult time.
rest in peace anna claire, i'll never forget when you and i shot water guns at people we didnt at the JC's... and when you were so happy that i was gonna name my baby anna-claire if it was a girl. : your in a better place..
I met Anna-Claire when I moved to Ruston during 8th grade. Though I didn't know her as well as I would have liked, when I heard of her passing I was completely shocked. I kept thinking "How could a girl as sweet as Anna-Claire pass away at 21 years old?" It made me realize that death could happen to anyone at any time no matter how kind they are. My prayers are with you and your family. RIP Anna-Claire
Tommy & Stephanie, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God comfort you during this difficult time.

Tommy and Stephanie, my heart goes out to y'all. There is nothing tougher to endure. I remember Glenda's parents feeling that, too. Please know that I am praying for y'all and that you will allow yourselves to feel God's love through all who love and care about you.
My God give you a peace that passes all understanding during this time of grief and for the rest of your days.
May God be with your family in this time of tragedy and disbelief. Please know that you all in our prayers! Jessica, you are such a sweet girl and have been on my mind all week! Hang in there.
This is to the family of Anna: In Sympathy I wish I could take away the hurt and answer all the questions in your heart. I wish I could help you find peace and bring you comfort. But most of all, I wish I had more than just these words to let you know how truly sorry we are...... C/O 2009 Anna you will be missed....
Tommy & Stephanie Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time. May God bless your family.
While I didn't know Anna Claire, I knew she was a special girl. Tommy--you glowed with pride and love everytime you talked about her. There's nothing like being a daddy's girl...she was a lucky girl to have such a doting father. May you and your family find peace and comfort in her memory. It was a beautiful service with a huge outpouring of love. May that sustain you in the hard days ahead. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your familiy. Sincerely, Lisa Merritt

I will never forget you, Anna, I remember that awesome hairstyle you had when we met, and even though you changed your look, you were still awesome,you were full of life and an inspiration, I just am sad that i didn't get to spend more time with you, and I just want to apologize for not talking to you much, hopefully you'll forgive me for that, love you anna
Tommy, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Though I never meet Anna Claire, I remember how often you spoke of her and the pride in your voice when you did. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. With deepest sympathy, Kevin
When I moved to Ruston a few years ago, I had no friends. I was sitting outside of class at Tech and she walked right up to me, said, âÄúI heard you just moved here from Texas, Cowgirl, letâÄôs be friendsâÄù and the rest is a blessed memory. She was kind, compassionate, true, hilarious, honest and beautiful. I have no doubt these are traits she learned from her beloved family. Thank you for giving us Anna-Claire, thank you for letting us share her love, and my god bless you all and comfort you in this awful time.
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.
I had a lot of fun times with Anna-Claire, and will never forget how sweet and carefree she has always been. She's one of the greatest people I've ever known, and she will always be in my heart. I'm so sorry that this happened, she was so young and so filled with life I never dreamed this day would come. I will keep you all in my prayers, and I know Anna-Claire is in a better place, with God.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May God comfort you and may He shed His grace on you now and in the days ahead. God bless your family.
Stephanie, Tommy, and Jessica, I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. The gates of heaven have opened to let another one of his children in. Hope that you find peace during this difficult time. I am praying for you and your family.
Stephanie, I am so at a loss for words...y'all have constantly been on my mind since I heard about Anna Claire. I hope the love and prayers of this community help carry you through. I just want you to know you are precious to me and I am deeply saddened about this. I will continue to pray for your family, love you!!! Lisa.
Stephanie We pledged together many years ago. Jane Oakes called me the other day to tell me the sad news since she figured I would remember you. Just want to say how very sorry I am for your loss. I am praying that you and your family will find strength from God to get through this most difficult time.
My deepest sympathy and prayers to the Sisemore family. I have never met Anna-Claire but have heard wonderful stories about her young life. May she be at peace with the Lord forever. Sincerely, Susan Feierabend Sam's aunt

Tommy & Stephanie, My heart is full of sadness for you. Words are so insignificant when it comes to comforting someone who is grieving the loss of a child. I am praying for you and will continue to pray for you and Jessica. We may not know what our future holds, but we know who holds our future. Anna Claire is surely resting in the arms of Jesus.
We are so very sorry for your loss. Our prayer is that God will lift you up and put his loving arms around you during this difficult time.
Tommy, Stephanie and Jessica - Cannot begin to understand your pain as you search for meaning with the loss of Anna Claire. You must be so proud of her and her accomplishments in her short life. We know it doesn't make it any easier to know God must have needed a special angel. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
I wrote this poem for Anna Claire years ago in 2005. She was such a special friend. Poem To A True Friend By Prasant Seetala 12/14/05 Forever it has been, such a Really long time since I have had a friend that Every time makes my face light up. Nothing do they ever hide, Doesnít matter what theyíve to say. Always with the smiles, Never with the hating, No way is that friend boring, All the time they are helping. Cool is their demeanor, Loving is their style; Always caring for their friends. I laugh and cry and chat with them; Really lovely are our conversations Even in the sad times. Sometimes I wonder If I didnít meet them, So unfortunate I would be. Every fun time weíve had talking, My smiles that came to me, Oh, they would not exist. Reminiscing about those times of fun, Every one is because of our friendship.
I was Anna-Claire's chemistry teacher her junior year and always looked forward to having her in class. She was such a funny and smart young lady. My heart breaks for you, her family and friends, as you carry on without her. May the strength of the Lord carry you through the days, weeks, and months ahead. Know that you are lifted up in prayer.
From High-school to College, Anna-Claire was the most honest and PURE person that I've ever encountered. I will miss our rants to each other about EVERYTHING under the sun. Walking around campus from class to class does not feel the same without you... But I realize that: With every kind gesture, every bright smile, every cigarette butt I cross, and every time I catch my breath after walking up a flight of stairs, I will smile as I think of your presense. Your spirit will always linger around me, and tell me to keep my head up. I'll take you with me everywhere...even gradschool, and we can finish our counseling degrees...Although you never needed a degree to tell you that you were already the perfect counselor - to me, and everyone else whose lives you've touched. See you in class AC..I'll be waiting as usual-- 2nd seat from the back.
Sisemore Family and Sam We are very sorry for your loss. AC will be missed. The whole Pate family loved her. Steve, Cheri, Ryan, Lauren, Joshua, and Kyle
Tommy and Stephanie, I am very sorry for your lost and you both are in my prayers.
My heart is heavy today. We lost an amazing and beautiful person. She was such a kind and loving friend. She was always there when I needed her. I am so sorry for the pain and grief for her family. She is looking down on of us and she would be smiling that beautiful smile telling us to keep your head up and everything will be ok. Rest high sweet girl. You will never be forgotten!!
I am so sorry for your loss. The family is in my prayers.
Stephanie, Tommy and Jessica, the Lord knows every hurt in your heart, and he nor his angels will leave your side. Lean on him and your friends and family. We love you and ache with you.
My thoughts and Prayers are with you at this difficult time in your life.

Anna-Claire and I have had a connection for almost as many years as I have been on this Earth. It all started when we were very small, attending the same daycare. I carried with me a stuffed animal lamb which I named "Porkchop" instead of "Lambchop" like the actual character. Anna-Claire found this to be hilarious, which broke my heart when I was little. It wasn't until grade school until a friendship was made and upon sharing memories from childhood, that we realized our connection dated back to when we were very small. We grinned to see one another in the same class, for we knew this meant it would take every will power within us to stay out of trouble and not talk in class. Every relationship meant the approval of the other. We shared with each other all of our secrets, insecurities, and fears. I feel so very blessed to have been one of Anna-Claire's friends. She had such a beautiful soul and a personality that couldn't be ignored. Beautiul inside and out, Anna-Claire was someone I always enjoyed being around. She left an impression that wll never fade.....
Anna Claire was a beautiful, sensitive young lady. My deepest sympathy for her loving family. My prayers go out for you. May God comfort you.
Stephanie,Tommy,and Jessica,I was so sad hearing about Anna-claire.We are thinking of you and your family at this most difficult time.Praying for you.
Mr. Tommy, Mrs. Stephanie, and Jessica, Daddy told me tonight of Anna Claire's passing. What tragic news and what a tragic loss. Tommy and Stephanie, having just given birth to our first daughter 4 weeks ago today and Jessica, having a close friendship with my own sister, my heart is especially heavy for all of you. I won't pretend to understand what you are going through right now, but I know Who does. Our Jesus. I hope to encourage you that Jesus really does care. And, He really will come in all the hurting and grieving places in your hearts. Let Him rush in and bring you the peace that surpasses all understanding. Let His love flood into your hearts as you grieve. Run to Him. He is Yours for the taking. Cry to Him. Ask Him questions. Press into Him. Let Him carry all of the weight of your pain. He is strong enough. You are not. He says, "Cast all of your cares on Me. I care for you." And He does. Jesus cares for you. Release the pain, release the anger, release the questions onto Him. Let Him come like the rain and flood your hearts with more of Him, more of His presence. I am so sorry for your loss.
Praying for you. Donny Crowe
