My heart has broken for you over the loss of your treasured Trace. I send you thoughts and prayers for comfort, love, healing, and peace.
The Saddest Word, Goodbye
When God calls our children
to dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometimes question
the wisdon of His love.
For no heartache compares with,
the death of one small child.
Who does so much to make our world,
seem so wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling
the aged to His fold.
So He picks a rosebud
before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them,
and so He takes but few.
To make the land of heaven
more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult
still somehow we must try.
The saddest word mankind knows
will always be Good-bye.
So when a little child departs,
we who are left behind,
Must realize God loves children.
Angels Are Hard To Find!!

Scott & Rose---I was deeply saddened to hear of your sudden loss of Trace. I know that words can't come close to alleviating your heartache and it is difficult to even know what to say at times like this. You are in the hearts and prayers of many people who are praying for you and wishing you peace.

Larry and I are so very sorry to hear of the loss of your son Trace. We will be holding you up in prayer for the Lord to keep you in the palm of HIS mighty hand as you begin go forward on this journey of life. There are many ups and downs on our journey and sometimes they just don't make any sense to us. But we know that our Saviour knows and feel our tears when the journey takes a sad turn. Larry and I lost a child in between our 2 children and though the circumstances are different we know the grief and the questions you both have. I can't give you answers, but I can tell you that you are not alone in your grief and to be gentle with yourselves and let time and God heal your spirit and dry your tears.
Again you have our deepest sympathy.
