    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.

We may never understand why God chose our children but we have to believe he had a better plan for them in heaven.

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.
