I cannot even begin to understand what you are going through right now, but I would like to offer my prayers and condolences. Wishing you and your family peace to bring comfort and the courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.

Heather, Ryan, Elise and Jacob-

No words can describe how sorry I am for your loss.

Prayers for you all.

I will be joining your family virtually today to honor Joel's life. He was always such a polite, sweet boy. My thoughts and prayers are with your whole family.
