"Yesterday, we successfully dropped them off back at the University of Idaho. Hunter was very glad to be back at the fraternity and Maizie was warming up to the idea but it was so good to hear all of the girls squeal with delight upon seeing her. It did this momma’s heart good to hear it!!," Stacy Wells Chapin said.

"Maizie and Hunter are rockstars and we couldn’t be more proud of them," Stacy Wells Chapin added. "We’ve spent the last eight weeks, besides the obvious, focused on Maizie and Hunter. Cards, talks, walks, hikes, tears, you name it."
For Mazie and Hunter, Stacy Wells Chapin said that their "job now is just be kids."
"Start where they left off. Keep goals and aspirations in mind," Stacy Wells Chapin said.
Ethan's mother said that her late son "is who he was because of our family."

"His foundation was unwavering. He was so loved he didn’t know any different. He was profoundly supported and our family of five was different than others and so very special," she wrote in the Facebook post. "He was loyal to all, he was inclusive, carefree, happy, just the best person you could ever meet. The stories are endless and amazing."
Stacy Wells Chapin added that her family has spent "no time being angry," adding "that would be energy not well spent and it still wouldn’t change the outcome."
"We have to look ahead," the mother said.
