Our hearts go out to the parents and children of such a wonderful young man. He was a wonderful co-worker, but most importanty, a wonderful human being. He will always be in our hearts, as he shared our grief when we lost our daughter in March 2007. He will always be remembered. Nothing can take the pain away, but try to find some comfort in the fact that he was so well loved and will be missed by all who knew him.

Weep not
Now that he's gone
He's in Heaven
Where life goes on
Think of him just
Now and again
But remember that
He has no pain
Know that he
Loved you so
It's important that
This you know
Someday in the future
Together you'll be
For this is our
Lord's guarantee

Your loved one is now in Jesus' strong arms
Where he will sweetly rest
For that is where the angels have taken him
So he can be happy and blessed
No more will he fear today or tomorrow
Nor will he know pain or sorrow
Only joy and lasting peace
Since his soul has been safely released
He will be greatly missed
By family and friends
But we will see him one day again
Where life with Jesus will never have to end
