Dearest Janice and your special family: Words are totally inadequate and cannot express the sorrow I feel at your sad loss. I can't even begin to imagine the anguish you must be feeling. May the Lord uplift each and everyone of you, and heal your hearts. All I can say that might bring you some comfort is that your beloved boy is now safely in the arms of Our Lord & Saviour. "Suffer the little children to come unto me"
Star Love.

Janice, You have been and will continue to be in my prayers. God has a purpose for everything under the sun,as well as people. I learned in 1993 that God does not give them to us to keep, He just lends them for awhile. Time is a healer , and the pain will lessen in time. My prayer is that God will hold you and yours in the palm of His hands.
y love, Loretta
