You poured your heart and soul into that young man and he was so loved by so many!! I’ve prayed for you and the rest of the family, to be comforted by our Father Almighty and wrapped tightly in the Eternal Arms of Jesus! I still think of you often and the effect you and Bill had on me when I had Coby and Kaili.. you are a true friend and I’ve loved you so much ever since! If there’s ANYTHING that I can do.. will you please call or text me God be beside you during this very difficult time.. God Bless, my friend..
