To the family, please accept my deepest sympathy. I recently lost my brother unexpectedly so I know the pain of losing a loved one without any kind of warning. we have family and friends to help us to get through our grief but the one thing that helped me the most is God's wonderful promises found in his inspired Word. I pray that you will be comforted by them as well. Knowing that God has a wonderful plan for our future can get us through these most difficult times. ~ John 5:28, 29; Revelation 21:3, 4; Psalms 34:17, 18; Isaiah 25:8; Acts 17:31; Isaiah 33:24

To one of my best friends, I will miss you so very much. I'm still trying to process you not being here to talk with, laugh with and love. I hope you've heard my many conversations with you lately- as they will continue forever. I know how much you used to love to sit outside at night and look up at the moon and stars - I know when I do that now, I will feel your presence there. I'll end this for now with "Love you to the moon and back"....one phrase that you said to Ellie often:) Godspeed my dear friend. You are a beautiful soul.

To the cousin who we sang Grease with, had the coolest hand me down clothes, gave the best haircuts and had the most beautiful smile. We will miss you. I'm sharing a couple pictures of some childhood memories. Sending lots of love to your family at this time.
