Kendall,
Words cannot express my regrets and the sympathy I feel for you and your family. I am in Michigan right now or I would have attended the funeral. I didnt feel it right to call as Im sure you have other people you need to talk to but please rest assured I will do what ever I can to help you if you need something. Please don't hesitate to call if you do.
Life will return to normal again and the pain will decrease in time.
My deepest sympathy

Mr & Mrs Kendall Moorman & family, I was shocked today to hear of the tragic loss of your son. As I tremble and my eyes tear to think of this loss, and being a father of 2 boys myself, I also know of the great strength you posess both spiritually and personally. Always know that the love you gave your son only made him happy and proud to be called your son.
Now is the time to cherish and celebrate the life he lived while he was with us. Our hearts and prayers are with you all.

Natalie,
What does one say to such a tragic loss? As a parent I can't imagine the heart break you and your husband are going through. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers in this time of grief.
Lamentations 3:31-33
For men are not cast off by the Lord forever. Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men.

Children are not supposed to die...Parents expect to see their children grow and mature. Ultimately, parents expect to die and leave their children behind...This is the natural course of life events, the life cycle continuing as it should. The loss of a child is the loss of innocence, the death of the most vulnerable and dependent. The death of a child signifies the loss of the future, of hopes and dreams, of new strength, and of perfection
Kim nor I can take away your pain but know your family is in our thoughts and prayers-not just today for but for the days and weeks ahead
We are there for you whenever you need us- never hesitate to ask for help or call
