Kim, I cannot find any words that could ever even possibly comfort you in a loss like this. My very deepest heartfelt sympathy goes out to you. I can only pray that as the days come and go your ongoing life endeavors will become easier. No mom should ever have to endure such a burdeon. This is so unimangible for any mother. With hope, one day your tears of sadness and shattered heart will be replaced with smiles and wonderful memories of the times you spent loving your son as he grew. Hold on to those precious memories and not the pain of this horrific loss. If there is anything....anything at all I can help you with, please please contact me. My sincerest love, thoughts and prayers. -Kathy
