Amanda and Greg, I cannot imagine how painful this is, coming so sudden, after Grayson had finally come home. Yet, as you have posted on FB, look at the number of lives he touched and how strong your faith has become. Jesus must have wanted help blowing out the candles on His birthday cake. Stay strong, cling to one another and to God. He will sustain you.
