For Justin
Uploaded: February 16, 2010
Putting on for my sons birthday. He would have been 29 today. When he was little he loved the color yellow. It will be 10 years in April that he was killed in a car wreck. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him.

And a child has to part
There is nothing that will ever heal A parents broken heart..."

Beautiful floral and dedication, Kay! I lost a son at age 14 many, many years ago and there is nothing harder in a parent's life.The pain diminishes but the memories don't. God bless! #8386866Patricia White February 16, 2010
I know how you feel. My husband lost his son 9 years ago on Thanksgiving day. The hardest thing to ever go through. You never forget. You always remember all the things that they had done in their life. Just remember they are always here just in your heart. #8386935Gord MacEachern February 16, 2010

A beautiful tribute to your son, Kay. My heart goes out to you. No parent should outlive their child. We have experienced that in our family; my mother lost a child, we lost a brother. I'm so sorry for your loss. #8387716Kitty R. Rodehorst-Hanna February 16, 2010
