I know you love your sons very much. We hope you find peace and comfort. We have your back and if you need anything, let us know. Our hearts ache for your loss. It may be forward of me to pull a bible verse, but this one always springs to mind: “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” - Matthew 19:14
