As a mother that experienced the same loss of my 15 year old son, last year in November, I pray that my son and yours join in force to protect us for the rest of our days, and lift us in our darkest hours. Nothing anyone can say will aussage the pain and sadness, so let your heart heal itself in its own time. I look to this passage to remind myself that we are not alone: "See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared." Exodus 23:20. Peace to you and your family.

It's difficult for me to find the right words to express my deepest sympathy for your family. I have thought of each of you so often this week. I wish I could be there to give a hug.
I remember one day when the Williams' sisters were gathered and told stories about their father. The stories brought smiles to all our faces as we remembered a great man. In time, I hope that you will tell stories and remember all the wonderful memories of your amazing son. Please know that the Taylor family has you in our prayers. God Bless.
