Condolence: Theresa, I know no particulars or history about “Christopher” but that’s not relevant, you and your family have lost a huge part of your lives. It will continually be hard and never easy yet he’s going to want you to move on but to never be forgotten. To lose a child is something I have never experienced but can only imagine. You cannot prepare for your loss of a loved one, especially one that we ourselves have raised. We try to prepare them for the simplest to complex heartfelt obstacles in life but we refuse to imagine that the vilest will ever happen to us. The Lord has a plan, one that doesn't coincide with our dreams. Be strong but never be afraid to weep and weep often fore that is healing. To remember ones first steps in life, to go on a date in your dad’s car; each chapter in life leads each one of us down our personal walks and set’s our pace of whom we’ll become. Share memories often and forever. Laugh about the fun times shared, the awkward times that we'd normally hide. Be proud as always of his silliest times and applaud his giant and triumphant journeys through life. My blessings are with you and your families so please know that my heart felt sadness is shared with you all. God bless you my friend’s!

Condolence: God's Loan "I'll lend to you for a little time, A child of mine," He said, "For you to love the while she lives And mourn for when she's dead. "It may be six or seven years Or twenty-two or three, But will you till I call her back, Take care of her for me? "She'll bring her charms to gladden you And should her stay be brief, You'll have these precious memories As solace for your grief. "I cannot promise she will stay Since all from earth return. But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn. "I've looked this world over, In my search for teachers true. In the crowds that throng life's land, I have selected you. "Now will you give her all your love Not think the labour vain, Nor hate me when I come to call To take her back again?" It seems to me I heard them say, "Dear Lord, thy will be done. For all the joys a child shall bring, The risk of grief we'll run. "We'll shelter her with tenderness, We'll love her while we may, And for the happiness we've known Forever grateful stay. "And should the angels call for him Much sooner than we've planned, We'll brave the bitter grief that comes And try to understand." Source/Author Unknown Love always Mike Hope

Condolence: My heart is heavy and cries in your loss. I hope your memories may sustain you and perhaps give some reason to smile. Although at this time it must be near impossible. Just be assured there are many thinking of you and yours. Please be strengthened by our love.

Condolence: Hawk you will be greatly missed by all. We know you are in a better place and at peace. You have touched many in your short life. You were a wonderful, caring, kind young man. A nephew to be so proud of. You were strong and one to be admired. I'm proud to be your aunt and to know you if only for a short time. Theresa, thank you for raising such a wonderful young man in spite of......You di a fantastic job as Hawk's mom. Love and many prayers to you. Know John and I are always here for you. PEACE and LOVE to you.

Condolence: Aunt T, You did SUCH a good job being Hawks' mom. You raised a kind, cheerful, strong, compassionate and soulful young man. He is a son anyone would have been proud to call their own, and I can't imagine that there's a single person out there who was blessed to cross his path, who can say that Hawk didn't infect them with confidence, peace, strength and positivity. I have no doubt in my soul that Hawk is in an amazing place of beauty and joy-I call it the summerlands-and I know he's so happy, healthy and loved, where he is,and we'll all see him again. I can't fathom the depth of your grief, but know I am grieving with you, and I also know that your strength and deeply spiritual soul will get you through this. I know Hawk would want you to smile, when you think of him, and to continue to live and love to your fullest ability. I know he was so proud of you. I'm so sorry I can't be there, Aunt Teresa, but please know that you are in my thoughts, and in my heart, and that I love you so very much. Always. -Shell

Condolence: My condolences for your loss. Praying that God will shower you with his peace and comfort during The coming days and months. Love and prayers
