I wanted to express my heartfelt condolences to all of Toby's family. There's such a sense of helplessness when someone we love dies. I'd like to share some scriptural thoughts that really helps me. Prayer is so valuable at this time but it's not that prayer simply makes us feel better. 2 Cor.4:7 says that God can give us, "... power beyond what is normal ", to go from one day to the next. This does not mean that we no longer cry or that we forget, but it means we recover. The reason we recover is because of our hope. Jesus Christ talked about our hope in John 5:28, "... all those in the memorial tomb will hear his voice and come out ". Jesus was referring to the resurrection, this is our hope that helps us recover and gives us power to go on. 2 Cor. 1:3 describes our Creator as, "... the God of all comfort ". One way that God comforts us is by moving people who care about us to give us words of encouragement that we need to hear. May the God of comfort (Ps.83:18) be your comfort now during this time of sorrow.

to my best friend Patsy for Her and forever will he be her Baby. We are connected , My child and I , by an invisible cord not seen by the eye. It's not like the cord that connects us till birth. This cord cant been seen by any on earth. This cord does it's work right from the start it binds us together attached to my heart . I know that it's there though no one can see. The invisible cord from my child to me. The strength of this cord it hard to describe. It cant be destroyed and it cant be denied. It's stronger then any cord man could create. It withstands all test and can hold any weight. And though you are gone and not here with me the cord is still there that no one can see. it pulls at my heart. I am bruised...I am sore, But this cord is my lifeline as never before. I am thankful that God connects us this way . A mother and child . Death cant take it away my sweet Toby boy. I love you my dear friend I am so sad for all of you . Prays always
