We were so saddened to hear about the death of your son. Things happen and we are never meant to understand why. Any close loved one is a gift we are given each day they are with us. Connie and Billy, as parents, we cannot imagine the pain and sorrow associated with losing a child or what you must be going through. Please know we are praying for you and with you. Our children are all so special to us, may God give you strength.

I'm so sorry to hear of Chris's passing. He was a true friend. The last time we spoke, he told me he'd made his decision for Jesus and was baptised. Psalms 116:15 "Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints." May He grant you the peace that paseth all understanding.

Billy and family,
We are so saddened by this loss. CJ was always like a brother to our family. He had a heart of gold and always wore a smile. He will be greatly missed, but I see that the wonderful smile lives on in his sons. If there is anything we can do, please let us know. We love you.
