Hello Kurt and the Bagby Family & Friends:

I saw your heartwrenching video a year or so ago, and to say that it touched me in a way that I will never be able to get over is an understatement.

He was such an amazing person, and for this woman to be able to get away with what she did is surely nothing but a sign that there is a devil, and she was his. I really couldn't get over the fact that the Canadian government would allow this woman to be free when she was so blatantly evil.

Kurt, you are the epitome of a true friend, no one could have done a better job showing the world what an amazing man he was. I encouraged all of my friends and family to watch this video, and they were all touched deeply by it.

Bagby family, I feel your pain, your loss. However, know that he is in a better place, probably showing his son how to fish with his uncle.

My prayers are with you.

Hello Kurt and Bagby family,

I watched your documentary this past December when I was about 7 months pregnant with my son and only child Benjamin. Never has a film touched me so deeply and it stayed with me for days after and still crosses my mind. To Kate and David I hope you have moments of peace and happiness in your lives. You are an inspiration on how the spirit can go on when it has reached all it can handle. I have nothing else to say that probably hasn't already been said but my prayers are with you amazing people.

After just watching Dateline, I have a heavy heart for this entire family and the friends who loved Andrew so much. What a blessing to have been part of his life and although it ended way too soon, he touched so many people and that will live on forever. May you find comfort in the wonderful memories of Andrew and Zachary. The film that Kurt has done deserves an award for the selfless act alone.

Bagby family, what can you even say after such a horrificly sad story except...God truely is holding both of your boys now, never to be hurt again! I am sure they smile as they wait for you. May God bless you and find you both in peace.

I have followed your story from the beginning.

You have been in my prayers. You are an inspiration to me. You had provided the hope for us to keep on going for there be an need to do so.

I wish you all the best.

Roberta,

Kurt's documentary has won several prestigious awards. If you just search "Dear Zachary, a Letter to a Son About His Father", you will see how many awards this heartbreaking film has achieved.

Dear Kurt,

I was a social worker with CPS for 10 years and thought that my heart would break each day when I witnessed the absolute horror of children being abused. Frustrated with a corrupt system I had to get out but I still live with the memories of inhuman treatment directed at our most valuable resources, our children. However, tonight when I saw "The Best Man" my heart was touched by the agony that Kate and David have had to endure. While I cried bitter and angry tears I was also amazed at their courage and dignity in the face of unspeakable horror. They and you are perhaps the most honorable people I have ever encountered. For them to have the strength and deep commitment to make changes in a government that closes its eyes to human suffering is incredible to me. I wish them peace and may God bless them for their unbreakable spirit. Zachary and Adam are very proud. Tonight as I look at my 7 year old grandson safe and asleep in his bed I will pray for Zachary and Adam and will remember them for the rest of my life. Thank you, Kurt.

Dear Kurt, David and Kate,

As I was watching the final 10 minutes of this already, heart wrenching story, I caught my breath and thought - NO - it could not happen to this family and friends again. I started crying before that wicked woman's actions were revealed to me for the first time as I knew in my heart it was going to be bad. I am still reeling from how this could possibly have occurred within any legal system. How all of you are coping with this horrific tragedy is beyond my comprehension but I want to commend you all for your continuing spirit in keeping Andrew and Zachary's lives real for all who knew and loved them. Kurt, that was the most touching personal tribute I've ever witnessed to a friend. David and Kate, may God grant you peace. I believe I will remember this story for a very long time and hope that all of your actions, and the docmentary of this very personal tragedy, will prevent anything like this from every happening to anyone else.

Just know you are in so many peoples prayers and hearts. What wonderful works you are doing to save others. God bless you.

After watching the story about the wonderful wonderful memories of Andrew and Zachary, I cried. I kept hoping that the worse possible scenario would not come to fruition for Zachary. But as I kept listening to the grandparents recollection of the event, I held my 5 month old a little tighter and I tried to hold back the tears. I hope to find the finish product of this film, it was very touching. may god bless you and the wonderful parents and grandparents.

After watching, again I see the our judicial system is such a joke. I think we could take a 5 year old, put them in training for a day, and then be able to see them make a better decision then most of the judges we have. They need to start holding the judges responsible for the bad choices and then put them on trial. Maybe then, they would wake up and take their job, title, and people's lives more serious.

Dear Kurt and Mr. and Mrs. Bagby,

I had watched the documentary this past year and was very moved, highly saddened and more than frustrated with the legal system that allowed this tragedy to affect you all for a second time. This documentary truly touched my heart, you did a wonderful job to honor your friend and son, grandson and Mr. and Mrs. Bagby and their incredible strength. God bless you and the Bagby's.
