The news has reached an old friend up by D.C. - I am so sorry for your loss, and for the loss of your dad - it is easy to appreciate life more as the years go by, and we're thinking of you, feeling for you, and wishing you the best - let me know if you ever need a get-away to D.C.!

Dear Wilma, Michelle and family
I send to you my deepest sympathy and prayers. There is no greater saddness or pain than the death of a child. The only way to lighten the load is to keep that memory alive and celebrate his life everyday which means you have to be stronger than you have ever been in your life. The peace is in knowing
that now he runs and plays with Mike in the sunshine of heaven and sleeps each night with all the angels.When
you are sad or miss him just listen to your heart and he will be there by your side.

Drake was a very special child, very playful and loveing. I had been a sub teacher for him many times. He will be very missed. God just needed him more then this world and he is walking,taking and playing games with all the aangels and my son jonathan that dead at the age of 7. God has a rocking chair to hold him in him arm. God bless your family if you need some one that under stands and has been in your shoes, call 276 239 0197 Mrs Michael. I will miss Drake very much.

In The time I have been with Drake I have learned more from him than I could have ever taught him! I have considered him my boy too and words cannot express how much Chance and I truly loved him. He taught me lessons in unconditional love and that anything can be accomplished no matter what adversities you face! The world truly lost a diamond. We love you guys,
Love,

To the Parents and
Family of Drake:
Your lost and grief is deeply felt. Know that God cares. That God hears. And that God is here for each of you. Believe that God knew best for Drake. Because Drake will never again face death but has life eternal through God's mercy and love and the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said, " Suffer the little children come to Me and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of God. " Luke 18:16. Web search " 99 Ballons ". It will grealy help. " Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with you all. " Amen. 1 Thessalonians 3:16.
