Dear Ed, Margerine, and Family,
May we once again express our deepest sympathy for the loss of Junior. We have always enjoyed seeing him when we have come to your home.
Someone else in the guestbook referenced John 5:28. That and Revelation 21:3,4 teach us that we shall see Junior again, and when that time comes, sickness and death will be no more.
We are praying for Jehovah to strengthen you during your trials.

Dena,
My sincere prayers are with you and your family during the lost of Jr. I can not begin to say that I understand what you are going through because I don't. But what I can say is there is no more pain and suffering for him. He is in a better place somewhere that we all hope to go one day. In time you will be able to sit back and think of him without crying. But right now if you want to cry you do that, if you want to laugh about the good times you do that. We love you Jr and you will be truly missed.
