My deepest sympathy – to lose a loved one young and suddenly surely adds to your pain. Psalms 56:8 – “Do put my tears in your skin bottle. Are they not in your book?” God is aware of the tears you are shedding.

Thank you God for placing me at Walmart at the same time that Peg and Ashley was shopping for little Kohle on Tuesday night.In some way I hope I helped you through that horrible journey.

Kevin and Ashley,
Words cannot express the sorrow of you and your families. Find comfort in the arms of each other and the love of our Saviour. You are in our prayers.
1 Peter 5:6-7
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

We are so sorry for what you are going thru, it is not fair to have to bury a child. Prayers for your families and you both.

Dear Ashley and Kevin,
We don’t know each other. As I was driving through Churubusco, I knew there was a family in pain. My heart and prayers went out to you. Please know that my husband, Paul, and I are walking along side of you on this horrible and painful journey. Your beautiful boy, Kohle, will always be with you. We know this, because our son Walter is with us with every breath we take. Walter’s home is with the Lord, and now shares God’s embrace with your baby Kohle. When ever you’re at the Lima Rd. Wal-Mart during the night, and are burdened by grief… please, my shoulders can be a resting place. With deepest sympathy,
