Many times I told Paul, I just want to do something good related to Sam’s tragedy — I want us to make it beautiful.
Lord as we embrace our suffering help us to do something beautiful in remembrance and in honor of our son. May we aid in helping others make good choices, keep his spirit alive, and magnify You. Mostly Lord, help us heal and grow well together! Amen.
