You were a very special child of God. He used your life to touch many others as you did mine in such a short time. You are where we all hope to be. May God have you surrounded with love we can not begin to know.

What an amazing and inspirational young man! His family and friends should feel rightfully honored to have had him in their lives. He was so blessed to have his wishes come true at such a young age but God has an even bigger mission for him up above! May the family not grieve his "death" but celebrate his life, and find comfort in knowing that he now rests in eternal peace with our heavenly father and savior. "The Lord Giveth and Taketh Away" Job 1:21
