I did not know your son but Mr. Rolston taught my son. I can not imagine the pain you are dealing with and can only let you know that you are in our prayers.

Thank you so much for your plea of calm to Shane's friends. It's obvious where Shane had learned to put others before himself.
My oldest daughter lost a dear friend years ago and this was a poem given to her parents. Now my youngest daughter, Kim, has lost a dear friend. Words can not describe how my heart goes out to your family but I would like to share this poem with you in hopes that some day it will bring you a glimpse of comfort.
Child of Mine
"I'll lend you for a little time, a child of mine", He said
"For you to love while he lives, and mourn when he is gone.
It may be sixty of seventy years or maybe two or three.
But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and shall his stay be brief,
You have his lovely memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
I've looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes, I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labour vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call, to take him back again."
"I fancied that I heard them say, Dear Lord, Thy will be done.
For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may;
And for the happiness we've known, will ever grateful stay.
But shall the angels call for him much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand."
