I don't know what to say that hasn't been said a lot better by others on this Guest Book. Just know that I'm grieving along with you. It's so hard to come to terms with a child's death. I hope you're comforted by the tremendous outpouring of love by so many of your friends in the community and beyond. Lots of people were touched by this young boy's life and death.

There are no words that can ease your pain, trust me I know. I lost my baby boy 6 months ago due to a trampoline accident. Everyone grieves differently so I won't say I know your pain, I can relate to your pain only you & the Lord knows your pain. I've had many people who have lost a child tell me that it gets better, that day hasn't came for my family yet. We still cry everyday many times a day. Keep Connor's memory alive by speaking of him often, keep his pictures out for you to see & cherish every moment that you had with Connor. Your Connor made friends easily as did my Tristen & now they have each other. What helps me get through the day is knowing that Tristen is in a better place than we are right now, no that doesn't feel the void that my family has in our hearts & our home but I know that he is being well taken care of by our Heavenly Father & that I can one day be with him again. Just keep in mind that you have a wonderful Angel watching over you always now. That's also how I like to look at it, knowing Tristen is my family's personal angel. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. May God Bless You.

A Child Loaned
"I'll lend you for a little time
A child of Mine." He said.
"For you to love the while he lives
And mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven year
Or twenty-two or three
But will you, till I call him back
Take care of him for Me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay
Since all from Earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I want the child to learn.
I've looked this wide world over
In my search for teacher's true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you;
Now will you give him all your love,
Nor think the labour vain
Nor hate Me when I come to call
And take him back again?
I fancied that I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, They will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
For the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand."
