This is terrible, the worst thing that a parent could ever deal with. I will try to push some strength your way.
My daughter taught this little fella in her art class at the boys and girls club. She was devastated last night. His mother is a wonderful volunteer there and gives tremendously to the needier children at Christmas time. Our hearts are aching for their family. I cannot begin to imagine what she is going through. God takes the angels.
How heartbreaking and terrible! Our thoughts and prayers go out to this family!
