While I'd never met your son Shannon, your love for him was most evident in how you talked about him, and how much you enjoyed the time you spent together as a family. No one...and I mean no one could ever understand the heartache a parent feels in losing a child. However, I can see the deep sadness in your eyes and hear the heartache in your voice when you speak so lovingly of Jared. Please know my friend how truly saddened I am for you and your entire family. Nothing will console you. No words will give you peace. Just know, that in your time of need I am here for you if you want to shout, be angry or just need to cry on a shoulder. As your friend...I will walk beside you in this process we call grief and provide you with loving support. My deepest and most sincere condolences to you, Sami, your mom and dad and the entire family.
