Arielle Lewandowski, you were like no other person I have ever met before. You had such a big heart; always laughing and smiling. The only time I didn't see you smiling was when you were crying at our last choir concert since you were a senior... no wait, take that back. You smiled then too. I will miss you very much. Menasha won't be the same without you. You will live on in hearts of many.

Our deepest, most heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family. Our son, Tim, was a friend to your Arielle. They hung out at Perkins together. We feel such sorrow and heartache for your over-bearing loss. As parents of a 17 year old, we can't imagine the grief you feel. The only small thing we can offer to you is our sympathies and our prayers. Please know that we will continue to pray for you and your family during this difficult time.

My deepest sympathy goes to you and your family. I am Paiges' Aunt, and she told me so many things about Ariellle, and how much they loved their life and all the many friends they had. Your daughter was so happy! May your memories of her get you through this terrible tragedy. Forever keep her in your heart & mind. You will forever be in my prayers.
