I want to share my condolences to the Dawson Family. The sting of death is painful and even more so with the loss of one so young. God feels our hurt as well and he provides his word for strength. May you find hope in his word and comfort over time in his promises.

Alex, My beautiful boy, I miss you every second of everyday. I long for the time we meet again in god's Kingdom. I would give up every worldly posession just to hold you one time. Every good thing I have done was for you my sweet boy. I think of you running through beautiful fields side by side with your Dad and just being happy with him, this thought gives me a safe comfortable feeling. All my love to you my son. Love Mom.
