Very sorry to hear of your loss. It's sad when parents out live their children
His soul will always be around you till he returns
Terry and Bob…my heart aches for you. No parent should bury a child. As if we weren't connected before, losing our loved ones on the same day connects us more. Love you and we'll be there with you to celebrate his spirit. Love you.
