May you find comfort in knowing that Devin is in a better place, for there is a reunion going on in Heaven! For remember that weeping may endure for a night but Joy cometh in the Mourning (Morning).
Remember that He's going to wipe all of our tears away. God gave you this little angel, no one knew His plan for Devin but only Him. So rejoice in knowing that all things work for His good and that your little angel is now a Guardian Angel looking out for others.
May God bless and comfort you always.

Charlene, Donde and Donde: My heart is saddened for your loss. Losing a child, no matter what age, is indescribable, I know. But the joy Devin brought you for the short time he was on this earth, was a gift from God; and in return, he received the deepest love and devotion possible, that of his parents and brother. God's taken another Angel, though we don't understand why, we have to believe that it was in His plan and that Devin will be healthy and happy for eternity. With deepest sympathy,
