William was our baby boy. He was a great baby, toddler, kid, and typical adolescent. He was a kind and compassionate human being. He will be immensely missed. Our lives are forever changed.

We, the Lynn family, are forever grateful for the love and support shown to us during this difficult time. As we mourn the loss of our beloved baby boy, we fine solace in the outpouring of care and compassion received from near and afar.

Every act of kindness touched our hearts deeply.

With heartfelt appreciation, The Lynn Family

May you know the warmth of thoughts that are with you and the peace of the prayers that surround you, now and the in the days to come.

The PROUD Program

I'm so sorry for your loss. During times like these, words can feel so small, but please know that my heart goes out to you. Losing someone we care about is never easy, and it's okay to feel overwhelmed, sad, or even uncertain about what to do next. Please remember that it's okay to grieve, to take time for yourself, and to lean on others for support when you need it. You are not alone in this, and I hope you can find comfort in the loving memories and the impact the person had on your life.

If you ever want to talk or need someone to listen, I'm here for you.

Derrick G

There are no words that can truly ease the pain of losing someone so young, but please know our thoughts and prayers are with you during this challenging time.

May you find comfort in the love and support of those around you and in the cherished memories that will always remain. Revelation 21:4 reminds us, "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." I pray that this promise brings you peace and hope in the midst of sorrow.

Deepest Sympathy. The Johnson's
