“But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Luke 18:16”
Stan & Alice, Words cannot express my heart broken sadness as I learned the news today that my little buddy Will has fallen asleep in Jesus. My prayer is that The Lord will send his Holy Spirit to wrap each of you in his Love giving you each the Peace & Comfort that only The Father can afford. Love to All.

Alice Lyle and Stan, we join so many in mourning the loss of beautiful and sweet William but rejoicing that he is now strong and well in the arms of our faithful Savior who so tenderly cares for His little lambs. We always loved seeing that dear one at family reunions and watching the loving care of his family and siblings with him too .
We send our prayers and love. Bonnie & Michael

I am sorry to hear of the loss of your child. It is a comfort to know that the Bible promises a resurrection of the dead on the last day. John 5:28,29 assures us; "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all that are in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." I hope this message will offer some comfort in your time of sadness.
