Our hearts go out to the parents and children of such a wonderful young man. He was a wonderful co-worker, but most importanty, a wonderful human being. He will always be in our hearts, as he shared our grief when we lost our daughter in March 2007. He will always be remembered. Nothing can take the pain away, but try to find some comfort in the fact that he was so well loved and will be missed by all who knew him.

I know the pain
Is hard to bear
For you I prayed
A special prayer
May God be with you
In these hard days
And may He help you
Understand His ways

Weep not
Now that he's gone
He's in Heaven
Where life goes on
Think of him just
Now and again
But remember that
He has no pain
Know that he
Loved you so
It's important that
This you know
Someday in the future
Together you'll be
For this is our
Lord's guarantee
