My dearest Adam,
A year has passed since you left us. I miss you so much! Melissa and I visited you today; your marker is perfect and tells everyone who you are. We welcome the rain as it was raining a year ago and seems so appropriate.
I love you my son,

Dear Adam's Mom: I know no words can comfort you at this time. All I can tell you is that I know what you are going through, because I lost my 18yr old son on 01/21/08. I know you have alot of people that care for you, but if you ever need to talk, cry, scream I offer you my ears & tears. May GOD give you the strength everyday.

My prayers are with you Karla, and your family. May God's strength and encouragement be upon you in this tough time. Everyday is a new day so take courage! ;)

Lamentations 3:21-23

Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

God bless ;)
