Dearest Donna-
My heart truly breaks for you and your family. There are no words that can ease the pain of losing your son, and I can only imagine the weight of this sorrow. Please, know that I am lifting you all up in prayer– asking God to wrap His loving arms around you, to bring peace that surpasses all understanding, and to carry you through each moment when it feels impossible to take another step.
Your son was deeply loved and and his light will continue to shine through his children– his beautiful legacy. I pray that you all, always feel his presence in the small, quiet moments– in laughter, in memories, and the love that still surrounds you.
May God comfort your broken hearts, strengthen your spirit, and remind you that this separation is only temporary. Though your son’s earthly journey has passed, his soul rests safely in the hands of our Heavenly Father, where pain and sorrow can no longer touch him.
Lean on your faith Donna,
and those who love you,(like me). You are not alone in this. When words fall short, love and prayer will speak for you.
With deepest sympathy and unending love,
Dawn Waring McCaleb ❤️
