Many years have passed and you got to enjoy your son since the day he was born until that terriable day. None of us will ever be able to look into the future and see what tomorrow has in store for us, all we can do is keep reminding our selves that we are all put on this earth for a reason and when our time comes it will leave a big hole in allot of peoples hearts.
It is not right that a parent should have to burrie one of there children but then that is the way that the lord wanted it to be.
We send you both our heart felt feelings but nothing will replace the anguish that is in your hearts.
With all our love

Stan and Diane
