Losing such a beautiful light in your life may make the world seem so small and empty. But from as far as I can tell he loved his life and the wonderful parents in it. Know that he understood he was loved beyond a doubt and know that the little things in life he helped you enjoy should never end. <3 God Bless your family.

"The Lord compensates the faithful for every loss. That which is taken away from those who love The Lord will be added unto them in His own way. While it may not come at the time we desire, the faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude." - Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, 2008

I can only offer and promise my prayers of comfort and healing for your family. I am so very sorry for your loss.
