I have no words to express how sorry I am for the loss of your sweet Dawson. He was such a special young man with a very strong personality. He could get me so frustrated onw minute and then have my laughing and shaking my head the next. He will always have a special place in my heart. Love and prayers to you, Macy and Gage.

I remember back in elementary we shared the same 1st grade class, you always kept our class laughing & I remember you being such a ladies man. It's so unreal to believe that you're gone, but I guess heaven needed you more. I'll be praying for your family & friends during this time. I know how hard it is.

We’re so sorry for your loss. I know the pain of grief can be unbearable at times but please be assured of our hope at Revelation 21:4- “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Our thought and prayers are with you at this very difficult time.
