I don't really know you guys, but I did spend a lot of time with Noah in Ms. Moore's class...he is one of my son Nevyn's 'friends from school'. I was so very sorry to hear this. It breaks my heart. Please know you are in the hearts and prayers of people you don't even know...
And please tell Noah that Nevyn says hi and that he really hopes he is in his 1st grade class! Noah is such a cool little kid; I am sure Joshua will always be looking down on him and you all.
Our sincere thoughts and prayers: Richelle Pillow Carter and Nevyn Pillow

My sweet friend, Although the distance has kept us apart for MANY years, I am weeping with you. This is such a tragic event in your life & the lives of your family. You are in my deepest thoughts & prayers for you, Rick & the children. I don't have any way to make this easier for you other than he is a child of God, just as he was named. He is in heaven right now in the loving comfort of our loving Father as Christ promises us in his Holy Word. I am so very sorry for your loss. Much Love to you my dear old friend.. Brooke
