My heart just BREAKS for you. I can't imagine the pain, but can know some of it as I lost my mother and my sister last year.
Please know that I am praying for STRENGTH and the LOVE that passes ALL understanding.

I am so deeply sorry for the tragic loss of your beloved Will. Will was a wonderful young man. I am Kaelee Jones grandmother, & met Will about 4 years ago. He stayed with us often that year. I loved him immediately. I was so impressed with his beautiful manners. And how down to earth & kind he was. Will's extreme love for eggs & milk would make us all laugh. And he loved to cook his own eggs. He said his mom was a good cook & showed me how she put bacon in the oven. Will was SO cute! A beautiful soul, gone too soon. My heart hurts. Always loved and never forgotton.
