Let's Bring
Liam Home

Family thanks supporters in search for missing Liam Gabriel Toman | Mont-Tremblant, QC VERY LONG THANK YOU POST BELOW (but well deserved) First, thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who has supported us from the beginning and for your support last weekend (May 15 - 17) in Mont Tremblant Two simple words mean more than we can say - but we will try, because there are so many people we want to acknowledge and recognize for their strength, love, support and kindness. Kathleen, Lara and I are genuinely overwhelmed by the outpouring of support last weekend and throughout the last 15 months. Your messages, your presence, your encouragement, and your willingness to stand by us have carried us more than you know - it is our circle of strength. Thank you..... To our Family, Friends and New Friends - you know who you are, and you mean the world to us. You never hesitate to show up, drive to Mont Tremblant, to offer hugs, to listen, to hand out wristbands and brochures, take care of things back home, to search in every kind of weather, to cook, or to simply let us know you're thinking about us. Last weekend, over 2,000 wristbands were handed out. Each one handed out is a symbol of hope and represents the circle of strength our friends and family are part of.. Thank you Roger & Deb Allen, Hayden Barnard, Sylvie Blais, Dana Blakolmer, Lori Blakolmer Cameron, Kim Brewster, Claudio Carlevaris, Sarah Duncan , Mark Foerster, Marc & Laura Ford, Riley Hartnett, Deborah & Mady Heezen, Shireen Khamissa, Terri & Wes Kosciesza, Shawn Kunkel, Colin Lemmings, Ann & Steve Matyi, Marg McRae, Rick McRae, Ian & Lesley Millar, Lorianne & Steve Phinney, Zane Piekenbrock, Rick & Sandi Sheilds, Lucia Watson, Lisa & Mike Wheller, Sebastien Wojtczak, Dana Yurchi.. Every conversation, every shared moment, every gesture - big or small - reminded us again and again that we are not walking this path alone. To Sarcan Qc - Gerard, Alexia, Chris, Carl, dogs Shiva and Narcan and the rest of your amazing team - your unwavering dedication to our family and the search for Liam is remarkable. You continue to show up, again and again, with professionalism, compassion and a commitment that humbles us. You guided us, helped us and stayed right to the end. Searches like last weekend simply would not be possible without your experience, endurance and willingness to give so much of yourself - in every terrain, every condition - it is extraordinary. To the Volunteers - WOW - the day one and day two volunteers - 110 of you who showed up from near and far to search for our Liam, for our family - your strength inspires us. When a community comes together amazing things happen and this weekend proved that once again. Your effort successfully ruled out important zones in our search for Liam. Thank you for the hugs, the angels, your ideas and for continuing to spread the word in your communities. Amazing how strangers can offer so much strength, compassion and hope. We will never forget it. To the businesses who have supported us - whether through printing by Brooklin Bulletin Signs, wristband pop-up locations (Canadian Tire, Giant Bikes, Giant Tiger, RONA ENWhitby and so many more), Columbus Coffee, PIzzateria, Jacquie at Compass Rose, Microbrasserie Le Trou du diable and the Tremblant community. To the Tremblant Resort Association/Association de Villegiature Tremblant (AVT) and S tation Tremblant - Caroline, Gabriel, Mathieu, Catherine and all the teams and staff who came out last weekend to assist and who continue to support us every time we come back to Tremblant. We could not do it without you! To Karen (Liam's Aunt/Kathleen's sister) - for your creativity, your design talent and the way you keep the website fresh and the print collateral true to who Liam is. Your creativity through this process is just what we needed - for Liam. Oh, and for making all the buttons - it is all these pieces that promote our circle of strength and you are a part of it. To the Media - across television, radio, print, and online platforms - so many of you have helped tell Liam’s story. While it would be impossible to name each outlet, we extend our sincere gratitude to all who have supported us. You have become an important part of the circle of strength. To our Kids - We love you. All of you miss Liam as much as we do and support us no matter what. Kate (sister), Olivia, Ryan and Brendan (step-siblings) - remember there are always hugs for you and so many laughs of Liam and our adventures in this world with him. That is something we continue to celebrate, who we continue to talk about - who our Liam is. And to those who have donated to the GoFundMe we thank you too, your donation helps us continue and support future urgent efforts to bring Liam home. Liam's disappearance is a reality that no family should ever have to carry and yet it is one we live every single day - the heartbreak and grief are difficult to put into word - learning to live with the ambiguous grief - bit we find strength in people and community like all of you to keep going ...for our Liam. When people come together it is a powerful reminder of what family, friendship, goodness and strength truly look like. It represents our Circle of Strength. Thank you again everyone!!! We #together will find Liam and bring our Liam home. With much gratitude and love.
