Michelle, Todd, Heather and Boys,

So sorry to hear of Christian's passing. Such a tragedy. You will all remain in my thoughts and prayers.. Burying a child was the hardest thing I ever had to do in life. If you need anything I'm a phone call away.

My deepest sympathies to the whole family. A parent should never have to bury their child, it goes against the laws of nature. May this handsome young man rest in peace.
