So sorry for this

Post by Andy DePaule »

Hello JR,
I'm so sorry for you and your family.
I also lost one of my sons, Buddy Lee age 34 just 14 months ago.

We all expect to have others in our family, parents, grandparents and close friends pass, but the loss of a child of any age is different.
We expect that they should be the ones to see us off some day.

Not a day has gone by that I've not thought of Buddy several times and the sadness can be overwhelming some of those times.
I know this will be with you until your time comes, but you will adjust slowly.
You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you all and let him care for your son.

So sorry JR. I don't know you, but I certainly feel your pain. We lost our oldest boy Richard at age 17. 1997.
Not a day goes by that I don't think of him, and shed tears. Every parent's worst nightmare. RIP and condolences.

J R , Absolutely the most devastating thing would be losing a child of any age.
May God give you and your family strength and purpose in this time of tragedy!

Again I say Thank You to all for your Prayers and Comforting Thoughts. It will be a month tomorrow and it is a little better. But just a thought of him puts us in tears. They say it gets better with time and I sure hope so. It was so sudden and unexpected. In less than a month I will be eighty years old and I feel like I should not be going thru this. May God Give us all Peace. J.R. Rose
