Hi Celia. It has been around 25 years! I heard about your son's death from Helen Fayard. We both work in the St. Martin School District. I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family. I have three children, Brett 22, Andrew 17, and Ashley 15. Brett is a senior at Belmont University in Nashville, Andrew is a senior in high school and Ashley is a sophomore in high school. I am married and live in Ocean Springs. Do you ever come down to the coast? You can contact me through the school e-mail.
Again, please accept my deepest condolences. Even though I never met him, I am a mother and I can only try to emphathize with your deep sorrow. I pray that Jesus will give you peace that only come from Him in times like these.

Lynn told me about Andrew and I know
you are all devastated, as any parent
would be. I did not know him but I am
sure he was a wonderful young man. John, I remember seeing you at Daddy's
funeral - wish we'd had more time to
talk. Where is Kay? Give all your
family my love and sympathy. I love
you all and will keep you in my prayers. Sheley Darby Rose
