sorry for your LOSS.
sorry for your Loss
There are no words to describe the passing of your child. We knew his heart was weak but prayed for healing and more time. Hug your loved ones, let them know you love them and make them a priority for your time. We are so blessed to have had time with him while he was in Florida for his birthday. I can still see the huge smile as we arrived at the pool, his smile as he opened his birthday cards and later as we sang “Happy Birthday”. We will see him again one day! We have that assurance!
Classmate of my daughter. In and out of my house often. Sure could keep you laughing.
Condolences to all the family
