Al, I just heard tonight about your loss of Tanner. I'm so so sorry. I unfortunately know the pain of losing a child. You were there with me then and I thank you for that. This is a small club I had hoped none of my friends would ever have to join. Time helps trust me but it will always be hard. I know your pain, I feel it everyday. If you ever need someone to talk to call me. 847 420 5053

Nothing is more painful than losing a child. It is hard for you to imagine how you will go on, but you will, somehow, like those who have gone before you with this terrible loss. The human capacity for love and understanding from your family, friends and acquaintances will pull you through this, your darkest hour. And for siblings, you too will be forever changed for your personal loss of your brother and the pain you feel for your parents. Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins, we are truely sorry for your loss. Please know that you have been in our thoughts since we heard, and will continue to be in our thoughts across the ocean. We are so very very sorry for your loss of Tanner.

I am so sorry to hear about Tanner. He was a co-worker of mine at Load Delivered and he was such a nice kid and a hard worker like no one I have ever seen. It saddens me very much to hear such a terrible thing happen to such a great individual. He will never be forgotten, God Bless.

Please note that there will not be any services at the funeral home -only First Pres. That doesn't seem 100% clear on here. Thank you for all of the kinds words!
