    Junie, I never met your son however, I'm sure that with you as his mother, he was a very outstanding young man.  I can't imagine what you had to endure.  My wife is currently receiving cancer treatment and it along with chemo therapy is a debilitating illness.  I am so sorry for your loss and am hopeful that you find peace in the memories you share.  Condolences to you and your family.

    I am so very sorry for your loss.  Please find comfort in God's sure promise of a resurrection as set forth in the Bible.  (Acts 24:15; John 5:28,29)  Those who are raised to life will have the prospect of never again being subject to misery, sickness, or death.  (Revelation 21:4)  I hope that reflecting on these thoughts and your wonderful memories will give you some relief during this difficult time.
