I am so sorry for your loss. My son was very good friends with Tyler from the Explorer program. They were almost like brothers. My heart breaks for you as a mother, and for all of Tyler's family and friends. I did not personally know your son, but being that he was such good friends with my son, I definitely feel the pain as well. I know God took your son too soon, but I never question God. He obviously had another plan for your son. May he wrap his arms around you and your family during this time of grief, and know that your son will NEVER be forgotten. Heaven gained a beautiful angel way too soon. Rest in heaven Tyler.
