Not sure what to say?

To the parents and the family of John I am so very sorry for your loss. There are no words that I can say that can take away the pain that you are all feeling. I am so very sorry for that, losing a child is something that no one should have to go through. However God will see you through this, I pray for all of you to find peace and comfort.
I knew John at school in fact I remember him as early as 5th grade he used to sit across from me in Miss Olasky's class. We would laugh a lot and...

Kori - I just don't have the words that can comfort... all I can say is God abundantly bless you and Arianna and all those left behind. Much love.

John made me the happiest woman in the world. He always knew how to make me smile and laugh and gave me the most precious gift of our Daughter. He will forever be the love of my life.

You will never be forgotten and always in my heart, love you. Aunt Sallie

Debbie and John, we are so sorry for loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Gordon and I send our deepest sympathies to John's parents and all the people who loved him.
