As you are listening in your home above, Would you hug Shadoe and give him all our love.
There isn’t much you can say in a situation like this. Shadoe will be missed and there are many great memories of him. Crystal was one of my best friends, and it breaks my heart to know that someone so young could be feeling so much pain and think that there’s no other choice. I will be thinking about all of you, Crystal, Tom, Nancy, and will be in touch soon.
Tom and family We wish to express our thoughts and prayers for you at this troubling time. This is a hard task in life to deal with. It has been over 8 years for us and it takes a lot of work to go ahead without a child who we loved and watched grow in the years that they where with us.We want you to remember that we will always be in your corner and any time that you feel that you want to talk to us, give us a call. Time heals and it is a slow process of excepting what
what a new life is forth coming. Remember to take care of yourself and be gentle in every way as the road of life goes on and all of us will make it through this. We love all of you and there is hope as we go on and grow to a new way with the greatest memories to be our light going ahead with each day becoming a healing for us in the future.
