This makes me so sad! I'm really sorry:( Sending prayers!!!

I'm so sorry. By most sincere hopes and wishes for your family.

Oh, so very sorry. Of course, my prayers will be said.

Oh, this is the saddest situation ever. Prayers and positive thoughts on their way. I am so sorry, Lynn.

What awful news for the whole family, I am so very sorry for the lose of someone who was obviously loved very much. Positive thoughts to all of you in your time of sadness. Again I am so very sorry for your loss. Susan

I am so sorry, Lynn. I cannot imagine how all of you, most especially your brother, must be feeling. And to leave a young child behind as well. So terribly sad and senseless.

My older DS just turned 24 - I canâÂÂt begin to fathom that loss.

Oh Lynn, I am so very sorry. I can only imagine the feelings of devastation. I will pray for your brother, and all of your family, including your nephew's little daughter.

How sad and devastating, best wishes to your brother and all of you in this trying time.

Lynn, sincerest sympathies to you, your brother and your entire family. Prayers definitely said for your family at this terribly difficult time. When something this tragic happens, it is just so shocking, I pray for peace for your family.

I am so sorry Lynn. I'll remember you and your brother and his family in my prayers and I hope that they can find some solace in the coming days.

Oh Lynn, I am so sorry. I will keep him and your entire family in my prayers.

I am so very sorry...

What a horrible tragedy...I'm so sorry for you and your family.

I'm so sorry; he was my sons age. I don't know why things like this happen.

I'm at a loss for words.. ~Hugs

More thoughts from here too!

So sorry for your entire family!

Blessings to your brother and family and to you too, Lynn. I am so very sorry. Thank you for sharing the photo of your sweet nephew Christopher.

Words can't express how truly sorry I am. I know your brother's heart is broken along with yours.

I'll put you and your brother in my prayers, I'm so sorry Lynn.

Oh Lynn, I am so sorry for the terrible loss. I hope you and your family will take comfort in knowing that there are so many sending thoughts and prayers your way. c

So very sorry for your family's loss. Hold your brother tight.

Very sorry for your family's tragic loss.

Oh, (((((Lynn)))))! I am so very, very sorry and my thoughts and prayers are with your family. Christopher's eyes convey such a gentleness of spirit. I hope your family can find comfort in many happy memories.

Thank you all so much for your kind words, positive thoughts and for your prayers. I am a true believer in the power of them, having had this miracle worked on me and my very preemie daughter 16 years ago. And so, I know in my heart that your kindness is already at work, for my grieving brother and for all of our family. Thank you!
Lynn

Lynn...so very, very sorry. Such an incomprehensible catastrophe. I'll hold your family in my heart.

I can't fathom the pain that he (as well as you) must be going through. Absolutely in my prayers. My heart is breaking for him.

Oh no Lynn...please pass on my sympathy to your brothers family...and to you and your family also. What a tragedy, I am so very sorry. Hugs to you all.

Oh, Lynn - I am so very sorry - what a tragedy. My heart breaks for all left behind. The loss is enormous.

My heart breaks for your family. What a handsome young man, and how tragic.

I'm so sorry to hear this Lynne. We will be praying and may God give you all a sense of His grace and peace.
Blessings,

Oh Lynn, what a tragedy. Your family is in my prayers, especially your brother.

You may not recognize me, as I mostly lurk on the decorating side, and participate mostly on the gardening side. But I had to write and tell you how sorry I was for your family's loss.

My 21 yr old son died last December in a car accident, and the pain is still fresh. I was in shock for a long time, and I still cry daily. A friend of mine gave me some small books about grieving. They are short, but extremely helpful. They are for different times during the first year of grief. They have helped me tremendously and I hope you will consider giving them to your brother. I have attached a link.

I will say a prayer for your family. There are never any answers for a time such as this, which does not make it any easier. Please feel free to contact me if you would like. I can't help, but I do understand.

Here is a link that might be useful: Books on grieving by Kenneth Haugk

You have my prayers daily for your brother and family. Some things just can't be explained or taken in. You remain left in shock for some time to come until the every day needs get us moving again. God bless your brother and your family.

Lynne, I hope your family can support each other through this terrible loss. I'm so sorry.

And Holley, my heart aches for you. I cannot begin to know what you have experienced but I hope you too find peace and comfort somehow, and that you have memories of happy days with your boy and the smiles and joy he brought, to keep in your heart.

Lynn, I'm saddened by your nephew's death. To lose a child is indeed a tragedy and I will pray for your brother and your family.
Holley, belated sympathy on the loss of your son.

There are no answers to the questions we ask when something like this happens. I hope you all find peace. I will pray for both of your families. God bless you all.

I can't read the posts above. It breaks my heart to look at the photo and think of the loss to your brother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I am so very sorry for your and your brother's loss. Losing a child is one of those things no parent should have to experience and yet so many do. I cannot imagine how your other nephew and his dad feel, but I will keep them and you in my thoughts. I think we will all hug our own a little tighter when we next see them. (((Lynn)))

Oh, Lynn I am so sorry for your family. I am praying for all of you, especially your brother.

I'm so sorry... so, so sorry... he looks a bit like George Clooney, no? Many prayers being sent your brother's way... and yours to....

Holleygarden, my belated sympathy on your tragic loss. How wonderful you are to come forward and try to help someone else facing that pain, when yours is still so new. I donâÂÂt begin to understand how it must feel, but I do hope that over time the wonderful memories of your precious son will help ease the pain and some of your tears will be replaced by gentle smiles of remembrance.

Hollygarden what a generous spirit you have - I'm so sorry for your loss.

Lynn and Holly, I am so sorry to read about your losses. You and you families are both in my prayers.

Lynn and Holly, you have my sympathy. To lose such young people in the prime of their life is heartbreaking. You have my prayers. A lesson to us all to appreciate the day for we never know what tomorrow will bring.

I just don't think there is anything worse than losing a child. I am so sorry for you losses, Lynn and Holley. I will hold my family close and keep you all in my prayers.

I am so sorry for your tragic loss; I prayed for your family.

I've read this topic several times and couldn't come up with anything to say. I have two sons so I can imagine the pain and I can't even go there.

Lynne, do you or any other family members live close to your brother to stick by him physically for awhile?

Holley, bless your heart. You & Lynne will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry, Lynn and Holly. Saying a prayer for both your families.

Lynn, so very, very sorry......

Holley, my sincerest condolences....

prayers and warm thoughts being sent to all

I just can't imagine the pain of losing a child. My prayers are with you, your brother and your whole family.

Many thanks again for all your kind words, thoughts and prayers.
(((Holley))): my heart goes out to you. I'll keep you in MY prayers. Thanks for the link to those booklets. I'm going to look into getting them for my brother.
Lynn
