Celestine, I am so sorry for Hawk's transition; I'm praying for you, your son, and the family. There isn't much I can say about Hawk that you don't already know. Hawk's wit blessed us during our darkest hours. He was such a joy; my family loved him and you too! You know how close he and Frederick were. Such a precious jewel gone much too fast. He was right there with us when Mom and Lennie died. We all have to answer to God's call. He is there to guide you during these difficult times. Hang tight and trust God always.
