GOD HAS ANOTHER GREAT ANGEL WITH HIM IN HEAVEN, AMEN 🙁
NO MORE SUFFERING FOR HIM.
Words cannot, nor will ever, express my feelings at the loss of your sweet and precious son, Dawson. Yes, gone too soon for sure, but in Christ, we will all take comfort in knowing that he is with our savior in heaven and we will see him again. Praise Jesus. This darling young man called me “Grandma Betty” and I will never ever forget that. He didn’t have to but he choice too and I will always love him for that. Kim and Lee, Grayson, Peyton and Bella, my dear friends from the GEO family, I love you. Take comfort in knowing that I’m here for you and the rest of the family in the days and weeks to come. Dawson has a friend now up in heaven alongside my husband Brad. He loved him, just like I do.
I am deeply saddened because of Dawson’s passing. I know him from our annual family reunions at Tracy & Sabrina’s home. Dawson and Grayson and some others helped me every year to set up outdoor games for everyone to enjoy. I really appreciated their help and have watched those boys growing up over the years. Both of those boys are very helpful and polite. I too will miss Dawson very much, but God has a nice and helpful angel to help him. My heart goes out to all of Dawson’s family and friends. I will pray for God to comfort you all.
I’m so sorry to hear this. Praying for comfort and peace during this difficult time.
I remember Dawson in the Christmas programs at Center Grove. He always had a smile. May God be with you all and may your spirits some how be uplifted knowing that he was able to help others. In our thoughts and prayers daily.
