Dear Jim, Faith, Anna and Jake…

Dear Jim, Faith, Anna and Jake,

Each of you have always been in our daily and nightly prayers, and that has not changed since Drew passed.

While Drew is no longer physically with us, we have the very next best thing, and we are most thankful for that. That is, that Drew, is always in our heart, mind, soul and in our memories, which are there forever.  These memories and feelings will never go away, and they are there any time we care to bring them to the forefront of our minds, which is something we will be forever thankful to Drew for, as he created them in each of us. 

While these words are easy to say as we all must live the reality of Drew’s passing. We truly believe that our strong faith in God will pull us through all the rough patches that may come our way.  We can be comforted and thankful to know Drew is with God, and God will keep our memories and thoughts of Drew in the forefront of our minds always, so that any rough patches, especially the pain of the physical loss of Drew goes to the back of our minds.  

Each of you were blessed by Drew, as were each of us, and anyone who came to know him and love him.  For now, we have these cherished memories and love in our heart and mind, and we can rest comfortably knowing that someday we will all be together with Drew and God.

"Those we love remain with us, for love itself lives on.  Cherished memories never fade, because a loved is gone.  Those we love can never be more than a thought apart, for as long as there's a memory, they live on in our heart." 

Love, Uncle John and Aunt Cathy,
