Inside were tiny uniforms, stuffed animals, fading photographs, comic books, handwritten notes, even a pair of worn Buzz Lightyear wings saved from a long-ago Christmas morning. As the students from Country Day School in San Rafael de Alajuela, Costa Rica, stepped inside, many immediately dissolved into tears. Some buried their faces in their hands.

"I want to tell this to Hunter, Noah, Lennon and Mom, if they're watching this. Mom, I love you. Hunter, you're my favorite twin. Noah, I do like you. And Lennon, you're a good sister."

When Matthew Schaefer went first overall to the New York Islanders, he already had his late mother Jennifer in his thoughts, having lost her to breast cancer. Schaefer had her photo and a signature stitched inside his jacket. But when he was given his first Islanders jersey, it had a purple Hockey Fights Cancer ribbon sewn on the left chest and her initials on the inside collar.
