Annie Ruth and family, I have no words to offer that will ease the hurt you feel in your heart today from the loss of your son. I can only offer my sincere sympathy for your loss. In the days that follow, just know that God will take care of you. It may be hard to understand now, but the days will get easier and in time your heart will heal, but you will always have that void, but somewhere in there, you will realize he is not gone, he is just away. May God give you the strength to get through this day.
