In the aftermath, the time has gone and went, when the time for being there for you and your family is now gone. Yet you are not. You are not gone from any of us. How many times did the boys expect you to walk through my door these past few days so that they could erase it all. You are here, angel of ours, and you have a piece of all of our hearts, always and forever. May God bless your parents, for a son to lose is something unexplainable. Peace be with you, Andrew, and Pat and Doug ? Love, Susan Herrmann

My heart and prayers go out to you at this most difficult time, and my words are inadequate to express the sorrow I feel for your loss. I still remember meeting you all at Bell Top when Meghan and Kate were in first grade. Andrew was just a baby in your arms and Emily a kindergartener.

I believe that he is with God, and is one of His beautiful angels with that wonderful smile shining down on all of you. May your memories and faith comfort you all.

There’s nothing in this world
that brings such happiness
as that of a dear sweet child,
to hold, to love and caress.

When one comes into our life
there is no greater joy.
It matters not the gender,
a baby girl or baby boy.

There’s nothing in this world
that brings such heartfelt sorrow,
as to have them in your life one day
and find them gone tomorrow.

At the loss of a child
we must put our love and trust
in God, our Heavenly Father,
who gave the child to us.

Love for the gift He gave us,
and trust that in His time,
we will hold our child again
in our heavenly home divine.

My thoughts are with you and your family at this time.
