As Tears roll down my face, I am comforted by the fact that you are rejoicing and laughing with Dad, Mama, your Mom, Dad, family, and all those who have gone before you....I promise to do the best I can to support Pam, Jen, Nick and the boys, who all are all feeling a pain that they are struggling with.... Family is everything, and I promise to stand by them, us all of us... xoxoxo. Love, Lor

Very saddened by the loss felt by your family. Sad to say I never had the pleasure of meeting Gunner, but heard Nick talk of him fondly over the several years I've known Nick. Your family is in our prayers.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
