To my dearest first born nephew, I am still in shock that you are no longer with us. The pass couple of days I have looked at pictures of you from your earlier youth. I laughed about the memories shared and cried thinking about the experiences that you will not have a chance to experience. I can only take solace in knowing that you have crossed over to be in the arms of our Lord. I will miss you. Philippians 3:20-21 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to Himself.

Psalm 34:18 says "Jehovah is close to the broken-hearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit". And I hope that it helps to know that others care.
