After all these years, I often wonder what you would be doing. You will never by forgotten. You were always so kind hearted and the best son a mother could ask for. I thought I could get by today without shedding tears for the memory of the officer coming to our door to tell us of the accident that caused your death. We had the best family, neighbors and friends who offered so much support and kind acts that will never be forgotten. I would like to thank each of those who have offered such kind reflections on this page. My heart goes out to all parents and families who have suffered the loss of a loved one so unexpectedly and suddenly.
