Ann--
My thoughts & prayers are with you during this difficult time. There are no words for a parent who has lost a child, but know that there are many people here for you and your family! Your son's final act of kindness in being an organ donor will live on forever, much like your memories with him. I hope that gives you some comfort. Thinking of you!

You are the love of my life and always will be. The kids and I love and miss you and will keep all our wonderful memories of you alive in our hearts. You were the smartest, kindest, most selfless, funny, sweet, loving man I have ever met in my life. Words cannot express our pain and our love for you. It hurts to wake up and not see you next to me, but I am so glad I got to share that with you, as well as all the other things we did together. You were an amazing father to the kids and will be sure to tell them everyday how amazing you were. We will hold you in our hearts forever. I love you, Boo Bear. I hope you feel my love and embraces and kisses that I am sending your way. Thank you for everything and for bringing me into your family. I cannot thank you enough for all that you are and all that you did out of the kindness of your huge heart. Your family, my family, and all your/our friends love you and miss you. Watch over them, okay baby? I know you will. Until we meet again...
