"We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destoyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that eht elife of jsus may also be revealed in our body." 2 Cor. 4:8-10. Thad is with our savior. We suffer his loss here and now but can rejoice in our coming reunion with him in Christ Jesus.

From my whole family to yours: Words cannot express how sorry we feel for your loss.Growing up I can remember him always being nice to his younger sisters friends when we stayed the night, or when him and Jamie would wrestle on the living room floor. As you grieve take comfort in knowing you will see him again in heaven.
