Andrea and family, I am so sorry for your loss. The loss of a child must be the hardest thing a parent ever experiences, and there are no words that can be said to make it any easier. Just know you are all in thoughts and prayers, hold on to your precious memories, for these will always be with you. ' Psalm 147:3 God heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.' Keep your faith, and one day, you will be re-united with your wonderful son, and there will be no more tears. I have so many wonderful memories of our childhood together and I love you all so much!
