Love and prayer sent to you, as He mends your broken hearts and binds up your wounds. May you find MUCH peace in knowing those you love and know, and those whom you will likely never meet, are lifting you all up in prayer, and will continue to do so. God bless you one and all!

So sorry to hear of R.J.'s passing, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. He was given to you for a short while. May he R.I.P.
I’ll Lend you for a little time a child of mine
by Edgar Guest
"I’ll lend you for a little time a child of mine," He said.
"For you to love the while he lives and mourn when he is dead,
"It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three.
"But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?
"He’ll bring his charms to gladden you, but should his stay be brief,
"You’ll have his lovely memories, as solace for your grief,
"I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return,
"But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
"I’ve looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true,
"And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes I have selected you.
"Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labor vain,
"Nor hate me when I come to call to take him back again?
I fancied that I heard them say: Dear Lord, Thy will be done!
"For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we’ll run.
We’ll shelter him with tenderness: we’ll love him while we may,
And for happiness we’ve known forever grateful stay.
"But should the angels call for him much sooner than we’d planned.
"We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand."

I am so sorry for your lost. I lost my son in 2002 at the same age. It was also a unexpected and preventable death, My heart breaks for all the love ones that are left behind, To come to terms when your heart is so broken is the most difficult thing you will ever live through. We are not destine in live to bury a child. My son played many sports and looking as his picture he had so much more to offer to society.
May the days, months , and years ahead bring you some peace , joy , love from your Family and closes friends,
