Your family has been in my thoughts and on my heart SO MUCH during the last week. I am grieving for your loss. We all have hopes and dreams for our children and when a life is cut short we are devastated. I want you to know that I understand and am there for you...morning, noon, night, 3 a.m., which always seems to be the time I go through the woulda, coulda, shoulda's. If you ever need to talk, cry, scream, whatever, I am here for you. You are loved more than you can understand or know. I am and will continue to lift you up in prayer and ask that God gives you peace and surrounds you with His love.

I don't even know your family, but my teenage daughter told us that your family was mentioned as a prayer request tonight at youth group. One of the youth leaders works with Reid's Grandpa at Central. What a beautiful little guy with such a loving family and sweet sweet pictures - such joy and wonder a child brings into our lives - you will forever have his joy and love inside of you - no one will ever be able to replace it or take it away - it's a space filled only by Reid Clayton. I cannot imagine your breaking hearts, just know that the three of you are safe in His arms tonight, He will continue to hold and carry you close. Praying for you....

What a beautiful boy Reid was- a blessing beyond words! Kevin- we all loved our visits at the dental office when you would bring him by. We were blessed to see him last Wednesday and got a big smile out of him!
No words can express the sympathy we feel, and along with my family, we pray for you daily. Trust God, each other and remember God is at work in these times of deep sorrow. Wishing you grace, peace and mercy! You have wonderful families and friends- they, along with God, will carry you through this storm!
Blessings!

Megan,
I am so very sorry for your and Kevin's loss. Reid was an absolutely beautiful baby you will remember and love the rest of your lives. There is nothing anyone can say to comfort you in this terribly sad time, although, I wish there was. No parent should ever have to know the sadness and sorrow you are experiencing. You now have a tiny, precious, very special guardian angel watching over you and your family. I will continue to keep you and your families in my thoughts and prayers. I know we aren't close anymore, but know that I will always be here, day or night, anytime you need someone for a shoulder to cry on, a midnight run for food, or a Target run to pick up groceries. Never, ever hesitate to get ahold of me and I'll be there. I wanted to share one more thing that always helps me through in difficult times:
Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”
