My words are not adequate to express the sorrow I feel for your loss. Your son Jaydon was an inspiration to everyone around him. I am so blessed and lucky to have witnessed his kind heartedness and his gentile spirit. My children shared memories of him from the Y and the times both Jaydon and Raymond played at the park near me. My daughter used to read to Jaydon during his early years at Carlton that she enjoyed very much. My heart and prayers go out to you at this most difficult time.

There are no words of comfort that will make sense of Jaydon's passing. Although I haven't seen Jaydon since he was a baby it appears he lived his young life to the fullest and was a young boy that you can be very proud of. Know that I am praying God gives you the strength to endure this pain and suffering and watch over you and Ray Jr. I am always here for you Michelle so please don't hesitate to reach out.
