Dear Dore and Bart-
Not a day has passed that you have not been in my thoughts and prayers. Such wonderful memories of precious August throughout the years and him coming by my house, so grown, to tell Coke good-bye and them laughing about "Coke did it." That same electric smile will be a part of our treasured memories. What a dynamic spirit! I can see him singing with the Angels.Thank God you all have such strong love between you and the comfort of faith to guide you. "We know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love, lives in God and God in him." God lives in August. God lives in each of you and will keep him close. We are keeping you all in our hearts and prayers.
With love, Kim, Coke, Kendall, Abigail and Maitlyn Youngblood

I am so sorry for the lost of your dear loved one. It's comforting to know that God cares for all of us and losing a loved one is something we cannot get use to. The Bible gives us hope that one day we can see our dear loved one again. On behalf of all mankind Jesus surrender his soul for many. John 15:13 says “No one has love greater than this, that someone should surrender his soul on behalf of his friends.” Truly I am sorry to hear of the loss of your dear loved one and I hope these few words will bring you comfort and hope

He is fondly remembered and did make a positive impact on many in his short life. My thoughts go out to all you, as your world has changed so quickly in an unfair way.
