Dear Hamil Family, I'm so sorry for your loss and I know there will al1 ways be a void in your hearts. But I know God will bring you peace and comfort, because "God dosn't let you bare more than you can handle" I still think and prey for you folks. God bless you all.

Dear Hamil family - The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ to heal is so much greater than the power of the enemy to harm. We pray for your total healing, of body, soul, and spirit in Jesus' name.

We have a son in heaven too (Jimmy). We named him after Ryan and Cole's granddad Jim.

Like many others I have been following the Hamil Family news. Last year at this time, my oldest son and family lost their new homestead, only. A hard time, but many helped. I am retired from serving in Africa as a hospital administrator in a war zone. I saw so much. Never do we totally understand all this pain. What we do remember through the healing is that others care, and, we care for you. I hope that you will allow others to be with you if only in silence but to be there. No two situations are the same. We pray for your strength to hold together. My last 20 years has been in caring for an average of 60 children in an orphanage who have lost their parents in tragedies. I see your sons faces and see the love that you had given your sons here on earth....such a gift to children.

When I saw your sweet face and heard your daddy telling on the news about losing his "little buddy", my heart broke. My daddy too was an Oklahoma harvester, and even though I didn't know you, I cried to hear your story. We never know why these things happen, but we are promised to "understand it better by and by". Until then "little buddy" rest in the arms of Jesus with your brother. May your family find strength that comes only with God'love and those that He will send to help them. God Bless all of you.

The whole nation waited in anticipation for your sweet little boy to be found and the world's perimeter was stretched a little further in prayers waiting to be heard. We are all so grateful that your child was located and know he and his brother were greeted with outstretched arms when they entered Heaven. I am so terribly sorry for your loss and pray that you and your family find solace in each other and with your memories. Your children may be gone from this earthly location but will live on in the hearts they touched. May God enfold each of you and give you peace.
