To the Poor family,
Elliott & I are both very sorry for you loss! I lost my son at 16 years old with my husband 1 1/2 later. Those deaths were the hardest for me! I watched my son come into this world and saw him leave this world. My husband was hard because I loved him so very much! I do know that the way I coped was minute by minute, hour after hour until it was month to month. Just know that God needed him to be one of his angels and with him up there looking out after you here has to be some comfort. May God be with you and hold you in the Palm His hand!!!!

T.H and I are so very sorry about Brent. He is the same age as our son Tee who was born in January 1969. Our prayers are with you because this is a time of so much sorrow yet reflection of so many wonderful memories. Words just don't even touch the hole that is now in each one of your hearts that will be there forever. Only God in his mercy can begin to fill that hole.

If you read Psalm 91 that might help in some way.

We grieve with you at this time of tragic loss. Our family has talked about how very proud Brent had to be of each of you during this crisis time. Each of you displayed such love, such sorrow but such bravery and strength at the time of the accident.. Stacey, you and Brent have done such a beautiful job of raising precious children. It was evident to us that you had instilled strong character and values in your children. At such a young age; they exhibited strength that many adults do not have.
We are praying continuously for each of you to feel God's loving arms holding you.
