Mr. and Mrs. Roop,
I am so very sorry to hear about Scotty. I still see him in my minds eye as a little boy with so much personality. Full of silliness and little boy ways. I wish you many comforting memories and the knowledge that though he may be gone in body, he will remain with you in your heart for all eternity. If you ever want to just talk, from one bereaved parent to another please don't hesitate to call. My heart breaks for you. Wendy Warrington Mezzenga

Donna, I was so sorry to hear about your nephew. You have been in my prayers. It's never easy to lose a family member and I am sorry for your loss.

(Jesus said:) "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." (John 14.27) Peace, sweet peace

I was so sorry to hear about Scotty. My heart goes out to you and your entire family in this difficult time. There are really no words. I just remember the little boy in church who laughed a lot - while antagonizing the little girls. You're in our prayers.
