My prayers and condolences are with you for the loss of your Beloved Cullen.
"The worse loss in life is the loss of a child."
I feel your pain as I lost my 21 year old son, Harley Walls due to a car accident.
The pain of losing a child leaves a hole in your Heart that can never be mended and an emptiness that never goes away.
Treasure the memories of your lives together for they can never be taken away.

Bless You

Cj I remember the day I met you and you tried to kiss me and I never let you. Well, I wish I would've because not only were you handsome but funny & intelligent. I remember when you use to sing me to me and show me recordings on your phone of you playing the guitar. You were an amazing person & although we are all sad and hurt to see you leave this earth at such a young age. We're all glad to have known you and to know God has taken you under his wing and has provided you eternity of happiness. I was always afraid of death and what would come after it. But now, now I forward to the day I join you in heaven. I love you Cj, always have and always will! Rest in peace!

Lynn,

You are in my thoughts and prayers. I have fond memories of Cullen as a child running up and down the stairs at the Flynn's house :). I know how much you loved him and always enjoyed hearing the updates on him when you came through Columbus for a visit. May God be with you in the days ahead and comfort you as you grieve the loss of Cullen. I am so glad you had 21 wonderful years with him. I know he loved you as much as you loved him.

I love you girl!!

Cj I love you so much! I can't believe you're gone. You were so young and did not deserve this. You're a great kid and you will forever be remembered. I feel so sad because I didn't even get to say goodbye. But it's not goodbye, it's ill see you later. Remember Brayden? Him and I are going to help your family. I love you so much! R.I.P. cutie!
