I would like to send my condolence to the Jackson family. The death of a loved one can bring sadness and pain. But will this situation ever change? Rev.21:3;4 helps to see that there will come to be a time sickness mourning, death will be no more.

Even though I don't know you, and I never knew your precious gift from god, rest assure he's in heaven, with the angels. I lost a son as well, and almost lost another, so I can feel your pain. My deepest sympathy go out to you and your family, for such a terrible loss. God Bless you all, Diana Beebe

I am so sorry to learn of your loss. I can't even imagine how you are feeling. Please now that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I know you are a strong person and you and your daughter will be well taken care of by your wonderful friends and family. God Bless!

You don't know me and I don't know you but I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your precious Kobie. You can rest assured that he and his daddy are together again. I don't claim to know what you are going through, but I did lose my own son 6 weeks ago. I know it will never get easier, but my wish for you is that you come through resilient. God bless you and your family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I am truly sorry for you loss, and I do know what you are going through. I lost my 3-year-old son and one of my twin 3-month-old daughters in a house fire almost 3 years ago. There is nothing that I can say to make your pain go away...it never will. But one thing that has helped me is cherishing all of the memories that I have...those can never be taken away. One thing that my daughter tells me (almost on a daily basis) is that heaven is a wonderful place. My grandpa passed away last December from cancer, and the first thing my daughter said (she is now 3 years old) is "Papa will never be sick again. He will always smile and be happy." When she says this, I know she's right. Heaven is a wonderful place. While I would much rather have my children here with me, I know that they will never experience pain again, or hurt, and I know that my family has 2 beautiful angels looking down on us all the time. I will pray for you and your daughter every day. I am so sorry for your loss. God bless you.

Dear Christie: We are so very sorry about Kobie. This is a very difficult time for you, your family, Kobie's grandparents and all that love and care for you. I wish we could change it, make it go away, erase the pain.
While we cannot do that, we hope you will find some bit of comfort in knowing how deeply sorry we are and that we love you. Please know this in your heart Christie and that we are here for you. We pray that God will Bless you and keep you in His care and comfort you as you know as a Christian you will all be together one day.
God Promised He Will Never Leave You or Forsake You.
Love,

Christie – Fayth,
I know in a time like this we turn to god and ask “why”. How could he take such a young child away from his mother and family? I lost my nephew 12 years ago yesterday and he was 21 and our family asked the same question, “why”. I don’t even know what to say to you and your family after having suffered the loss of Jon and now Kobie. My sister said that in the following days after loosing her son that a friend told her that heaven needs the love, light, and laughter of children as we do here on earth. That has stuck with her from that day forward. I know that it seems hard now and that you feel that you can’t go on, but please remember one thing, Jon and Kobie are up there watching over you and Fayth and now Jon is able to spend some time with Kobie. Jon will take care of him now. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

What a shame that the Lord had to take your baby from you! Know that our dear Lord holds the hands of the young people that he calls to be with him. Kobie must have been a really special boy...Your husband now has his little boy back. Find peace in knowing that Kobie's father is now able to have his son back with him!
Our family is thinking and praying for you during this horrible event!
