Dear Eckert Family,
As grandparents of a 3 year old boy, we grieve with you and pray that you will, in time, find peace. We send our deepest sympathy to your entire family during this tragic time.

The Eckert family,

I am very sorry for your loss, i hope that the love in your family stays strong through these trying times. i know you took your boys fishing, so i send you a Fisherman's prayer

God grant that i may live
To fish until my dying day,
And when it comes to my last cast,
I then most humbly pray,
When in the lord's safe landing net,
I'm peacefully asleep,
That in his mercy i be judged,
Big enough to keep.
