I still remember. I well know the hurt that remembering will bring, however, the pain reminds us that we loved someone who was real and existed in this earth... and that we still have a connection to them.

Dear Andy & Margaret,
God has not left you; He is asking you to draw nearer to Him...go to Him for your comfort.
It is in trials that our faith is tested; persevere little family, persevere.
We know this was so unexpected and you wonder what will happen next. Remember again that God has not left you, He has a plan for you, "In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps." Proverbs 16:9.Pray for Him to guide you through this time.
We will all be praying for you, even Trinity & Ezra have decided to pray for you. They have been touched by this and are praying that God will give you all peace and rest.
Psalm 63:7-8
"Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you..."
Persevere little family with help from above.

Dearest Margaret, Andy and Caitlin,
Words cannot express the sympathy that we feel for each of you today. Losing a child is one of the most painful experiences that a parent can face. May it help to know that family and friends are keeping you in their thoughts and prayers. Debbie and David Deering and family
