Thoughts and prayers being sent to your family. We lost our beautiful little girl three years ago and this Grandma focused on the reality that her journey was short because God needed her back in his arms.
Kelsey and Ryan…
I am at a lost for words. I am praying that God will wrap his arms around you and hold you tight during this traumatic time in your life. Bentley was greeted by the most wonderous person at the gates of Heaven. I just want you to know that although you are traveling a very difficult road you are not alone. There are many people praying for you.
God Bless…Sheryl Ledeboer
