So sorry to hear Leo. Special prayers sent out to your family tonight. I hope your Nephew and his wife find peace in the near future. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child, no matter how brief the amount of time they spent on this earth.

this happened to a friend of mine recently - the most heart-wrenching part was the little casket at the funeral. I had a lump in my throat the whole day, and my heart goes out to you and your whole family.

you didn't mention if your family is nearby, but I hope you will be able to be with them and support them in this trying time.

family first,

.

Sorry for your family's loss, Leo. I know the sorrow is great, as we had a similar incident in the family earlier this year. Condolences to all.

We had twin grandsons that only lived a couple days, it is pretty tough to feel that helpless. On a brighter note is your DIL healing up OK from her fall?
