Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I'm really happy for your family, what a wonderful and lasting and important tribute to Connor. Getting a law passed is a HUGE undertaking, so my hat is off to your Mom - what an amazing woman she must be.

| You and your mom are awesome! To honor Connor in this way and to help save so many lives is such an amazing thing to do. I'm sure your beautiful little brother is very proud of you, too. He will always live in the hearts of those who love him and in the memories all those who he will help to save.

| Brit, I am so sorry for the tragic loss of your young brother. That's not a pain I could even begin to imagine. What your mom and family have done through this tragedy, by turning it into something that will probably prevent future tragedies, is simply awe inspiring and worthy of a standing ovation. I lived in Maryland from 2001 to 2007. It's a great state. I had no idea they had this problem and makes me wonder how this is addressed in my current state (and all states). Congratulations to your mom and your family and the foundation on getting Connor's Law passed!! That's awesome!!!!

2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | So sorry for your loss. You have a lot to be proud of, not many people would have the courage or the strength after such a tragic moment in life to fight for someone they loved in order to make things for other better. Such a wonderful thing that you've done and what a great way to honor you little brother. FB page liked !!

| It's wonderful that your mother's dedication and perseverance has paid off with this wonderful tribute to Connor. I am so sorry about his tragic death and I hope all states adopt this law.

| Wow I had no idea that your family had gone through something like this, I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom and all of you are true heros for getting this law passed, to think how many lives will and have already been saved by it must be of some comfort to your family.

| Bumping this up just because I am feeling really proud tonight of all we have done. We also have a Golf & Poker Tournament coming up in October ... we are still in planning stages, but everything is worked out for the most part. We have a cool list of celebs, some athletes, etc, that we are working on finalizing. Also, I would be sooo thrilled and beyond excited to get more 'likes' on our FB page http://www.facebook.com/connorcaresfoundation so please spread the word and if you haven't yet, just click 'like' on the link I just posted. Any bit of awareness is so great especially this time of year. I am thinking of Connor a lot lately. He would be turning 13 on July 6th. Surreal!
