May the God of all comfort strengthen the entire family during this time of sorrow. Those who die God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. (Psalms 116:15) My sincerest sympathy.

So very sorry for you loss. How well I remember those smiles and hugs, Praying for your comfort and peace.

I remember when Chris was born. The doctor told his parents that he would never be able to learn, would die young, would be a burden on them, and they should just put him in an institution and get on with their lives. They chose otherwise, and Chris lived a long, happy and useful life. I was glad to know him and feel that he had an impact on the community. I will miss him, but he has completed his journey and I celebrate his life.
