Michelle. At a time of such sadness for Bo, you can rejoice in knowing that Bo has eternity in Heaven! You Have been an amazing example of the Kind of mother we should all strive to be. Take it as a compliment that God thought that much of you to take on such a task after Bo had his accident. He thought that much of you and knew that you could handle what was delt to you. Through his accident you turned what would of been such devastation to most and turned it into something very positive. How many lives you saved by your dedication to all parents and children by educating all of us on swimming safty. Hearing little voices say "Never swim alone". You really got your message accrossed. Your sons death has touched me in so many ways. It reminds us all how precious life is and how fast it can be all taken away. I wish you peace. I pray that your entire family can find peace and know that God knows what he is doing. May God bless you and your family.

JC, everyone that has known of Bo's passing has had the same reaction: that child was alive because of his father, the life expectancy of children in that state is very short, He lived years beyond any expectations because of his father. You must be at peace because Bo had the best father I have ever known, your dedication, sacrifice, there are no words to describe everything you did you exhausted every avenue to try to make Bo better.

I give thanks to God that I had such a great person as a son, someone that I am very proud of and admire.

You will receive many blessings, I believe you already received one by having Veronica in your life .

Thinking of you all the time
love

Siento muchisimo esta perdida. J.C. Bo's life, though short, was a wonderful gift. Yet you deserve to live in peace because Bo had the best father a son could ever have. I've never seen such love and devotion in the way you cared and tried every possible way to help Bo live. We keep you in our thoughts, Allan, Stella

Life...so fragile,Loss... so sudden, Heart..,so broken...in the wake of such a loss, we are haunted by things we don't, and may never understand. Yet the solace we seek may not come from answers. So we look for comfort in the belief of love's everlasting connection. May that love lift you and hold you close,and give you peace. With deepest sympathies.
