A very wise person once told me that it's not the years you have been on this earth, but the dash in between the years. Your son lived such a short life, but his dash.....he has done so much. You don't know me, but I just wanted to let you know that even a stranger can be touched by such a sadness.

Linda and Joe;
My heart goes out to both of you. I cannot fathom the hurt and anguish you must be feeling. My daughter knew your son and said that he always had a smile on his face and lit up any room that he walked into. Keep that thought in your hearts forever. He was a good young man. My deepest sympathy.
