To the family, you have my sincere condolences. When someone falls asleep in death (Ecclesiastes 9: 5,10) the memories we have of them become our most precious treasure. May those memories comfort you as well as Gods promise at John 6:40.
My deepest sympathy

My heart breaks for the families of both beautiful boys .. wish I could do something to heal your pain. Sadly happened right next to my house and a few feet from where I crashed my car two years ago. Glen wild road needs to be fixed! Praying for the healing for both families involved wish there was something I could do to make it better. All of my love. Rest In Peace.
