Read Loncar’s December obituary: ‘A little over a week ago Brian’s miracle baby, Grace, took her own life,’

‘As a result, Brian’s tremendous heart that carried his family and friends gave out too soon. The stress and pain of losing a child was too much for his heart to bear.’

Read the daughter’s obituary‘She would tell her family that she could never feel anything,’

‘She couldn’t feel all the love from everyone around her.’

Adding: ‘Unfortunately, Grace suffered from the often underestimated and misunderstood disease of depression,’

‘From the time she was diagnosed at age 11, until her death, she struggled.’
