Knowing the depths of pain of such a loss, having lost our second son,Tommy, whose birthday August 6, 1965 was fifty years ago today we found news of Mikey's passing late tonight. My bruised heart goes out to you both and your family and friends and may God's tender mercies lift your spirits in the long days and nights ahead, mother and father left behind, so burdened with this loss. Tommy's father, brother and myself pray for you in your bereavement. Your dear Michael has gone ahead to makes a place for you near his grandmother, where in loving patience they will await you. Barbara J Brown, Thomas and Glenn.
