My heart is so broken. He was one of my sons that was always at the house with my kids. His birthday was the same day as my daughter. When had something for her, he was going to be right there with us. He is truly going to be missed. My prayers are with you. I pray that you will find peace and comfort in his words. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
