No mother should have to bury their son. I didn’t know Ethan, but I know you, so I can imagine Ethan was an incredible person. I hope you find the strength to get through this, find comfort in your memories of him, and peace knowing he is somewhere better. I am thinking of you and Miles and the rest of the family in this most difficult time.
Pam I am so very sorry for your loss. I can’t image losing a child. May God wrap His loving arms around you and his father and bring peace to your hearts. <3
