When you lose someone very precious, no one else can really know all that you feel. But our compassionate God and Father promises: “He heals the brokenhearted; He binds up their wounds..(Psalm 147:3)

There are no words to describe how tragic it is to know that our Grandson, Brandon, is gone.
Our hockey player loved the thrill and excitement of this challenging game - he could skate!! A young man who, in his heart, loved his family and we all loved him.
So many memories to cherish - so sad to have him leave us so soon.

I'm so sorry for you loss. An old friend from Hickory Woods, Joan Sherlock Godwin and Samantha Sherlock. We lost our son, Walter in 2010. There is no greater loss than loosing your own child.
