Lauren,Judy & Buddy, I can't imagine what you must be going through at this time. I do know that no matter how hard it may seem, God puts no more on us than he knows we're able to bear. I realize you Loved and will alway Love Logan, but the Heavens needed another little Angel. Remember he's doing just GREAT now. Logan is FREE, PRAISE THE LORD-HE'S FREE, no longer bound, no more chains holding him. His soul is resting - it's just a BLESSING! PRAISE THE LORD HE'S FREE. May God continue to shine his light on your family for one day you will look back and wonder, just how you made it over.

Dear Judy , Lauren, WJ and other family members.
It is the little people of this world that display strength and courage for we older folk to observe the lessons to be learned from an infant child.
The love and captured moments of the life of Logan James will live on forever as they are etched in your hearts and minds. The moments he revelled in victory towards recovery. But when he could fight no more G-d whispered to him, I am sending winged angels to lift your soul to your heavenly flight. And I want you to live with me forever..
He taught us all how to FIGHT A GOOD FIGHT .Until he heard G-d whisper ..you are tired and I am sending winged angels in flight to lift you away. , .SHHHSSSSHH! Can't you hear the voices of angels and the brush of angel wings in flight. They are bending low to catch little Logan away to join the other angels that have gone before him.
But be mindful of angels , that will come to you and you will know that Logan is commissioning angles to lift you to your feet till you can fly again. Angels may appear unaware in many forms. hugs, acts of love and kindnesses . They are all expressions of G-d's love and comfort HE extends to help ease the pain of your aching heart.
G-d will make you aware of HIS presence in many expressions of love and kindnesses till your heart feels some relief from it's emptiness and ache.
May the G-d of all comfort make HIS presence known to you. Expect HIM in the most unusual places to come to you quietly. It may be a butterfly, or other creature of G-d's created beauty or perhaps a falling leaf or even a snow flake on your nose.
Shalom,love and prayers for the days and months as we grieve with you.

Pete and I are so sorry for the grief you are going through. This helped me when someone very close passed and I hope it will help in some small way. When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom filled room,
why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little but not too long and not with your head bowed low. Remember the love we shared, miss me but let me go. For this is a journey that we all must take and each must go alone, It's all part of the Master's plan, a step on the road home. When you are lonely and sick of heart go to family and friends we know, and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds, miss me, but let me go. You and your family are in our prayers. Pete & Vicki Parks
