Darryl & Michele, 
    We just heard about your precious son. Our thoughts and prayers are with you this evening and will continue to be as you travel this most difficult road. I know many, myself included, who have dealt with this terrible illness and pray that someday it will be recognized by the medical community and better treatments will be found, to help those suffering. I pray that you may find some peace and solace in knowing how well he was loved and that he is now in perfect health with our Saviour.
