When I lost my son there was a feeling of pain in which I can never describe. As time continues on and through Gods grace the pain will subside and the loving memories of him will always be there. Remember God is just one prayer away.

Dear family,
this is a time when we have no other choice but to look to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He is an all knowing God. He knows what is best for us all. He is too wise to make a mistake and too just to be unfair. Please take hold of His hand and never let go. He will always be there for you, even in the darkest moment. Take comfort in the fact that He is the God of all comfort.
