Dear Tammy,
I just learned of D.J.'s death tonight. I am sitting here looking at the gift you and DJ brought me, the 'Tervis Tumbler' with the inscription, "Tall Hall: An Original" when I retired. This teacher is at a loss for words. All I can say is that I am heartbroken with you. What an honor it was to teach your boy. DJ was special beyond words....but you know that. It goes without saying that if I can do anything to help you during this sad journey....do not hesitate to contact me. I am extremely sorry. I will be there tomorrow.
In love and friendship, Debbie Hall (DJ's 5th grade teacher, Southport Elem.)

When I heard you had lost your son it weighed heavy on my heart because I know there are no amount of words to fill that huge hole in your heart from such a devastating blow. My aunt lost two sons 17 & 19 two weeks apart and I asked her how she stood it when I came so close to losing my son to cancer. She told me you don't you hand it over to God because its more than any mother can bare to stand but with God he carries you through when you cant stand. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this very sad time. My deepest condolences for your precious loss. God Bless & Keep you in his loving arms always! With Deepest Sympathy Tammy Morgan

Tammy, Cindy, Jay, Shirley, Roger and the rest of the family,
I just wanted to let you know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers at this tragic time in your lives. I would like to share this message:
When someone you love dies, you never quite get over it.
You learn slowly how to go on without them but always keeping them tucked
safely in your heart.
Christie

Dear mother of Darrell,
I am so sorry for the tragic loss of your young son.
At terrible times like these, grieving ones need comfort, and the BIble is the best place to find it.
Jesus well knew the Bible statement:" Time and unforeseen occurrence befall them all"[Ecclesiastes 9:11]. He knew that
sometimes bad things just happen.
The wonderful future resurrection hope is the promise found at John 5:28,29.
Revelation 21:3,4 states that in the future ' death will be no more. and pain
will be no more, the former things will have passed away.'
Our Creator, Jehovah God, by means of his son Jesus, is going to undo the tragedies that touch our lives today and we will be able to welcome back onto the paradise earth,our loved ones who have fallen asleep in death.
As you read the above texts in your Bible, may they comfort you now, and in the future.
sincerely dianne mullins
