There are no right words. I speak of him often and think of him often. I was just speaking of him today, to a boy in my class, in similar circumstances.

I first met Todd and his family as Respiratory Therapist who assisted with home medical equipment. I am amazed and thrilled to read of what Todd accomplished in his 'too short' life! What an inspiration he became!! I'm sure the love and care he had by family, friends, nurses, etc. added many years to his life. God bless all of you, and may Todd rest peacefully in the arms of the angels as he continues to give you strength from above!
