    I am so very sorry for your loss. You might have heard of me, Jill Biddle. I to have lost a child a month and a half ago. My daughter Maria Droesch was 17 and going to be a senior. It is still very hard and if you ever need to talk or just cry you can always get a hold of me. We may never understand why God chose our children but we have to believe he had a better plan for them in heaven.

    To all the family of Grayson S. Dunham: My heart goes out to each of you for the loss of such a beautiful little boy so very early in his life. There are no words that could begin to express what a sad loss this will always be, What love & joy he must hve been to each of you. I had never had the pleasure to know Grayson at all, but I do know Jeanie & Hoppy & know they love this little guy with all their hearts. Like each of you do. Please know that I send my deepest condolences & prayers for all of you.. May you find comfort in just knowing that he in playing in Heaven with our Lord that tells all of us “to let the little children “come unto Him”. Always know he is in the arms of our Lord & they will be playing together now. May our Lord hold you all in peace with His strength through this terrible time for all of you. My deepest sympathy.

    So so very sorry for the loss of your angel; I’m yet to recover from the shock and can’t imagine what you all are going through but I pray strength for your family at this very difficult time. The ripple effects of this unfortunate event might never disappear but I pray the sight of Grayson’s green tractors, the memories of him mattress surfing or riding his motorcycle give you the strength you need to deal with the sadness. If there’s anything you think I can assist with, please don’t hesitate in reaching out. God’s best to you and yours.
