  1. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of such great loss.May God hold you close and give the comfort only He can give.

  2. Sheri, Stephen and Nikki –
    First I want to say I am thankful for the few minutes I was given to spend with Logan. He was, and still is, a very precious little boy and will always hold a special place in my heart.
    I don’t know what to say. I hate to say that time will heal all pain, but you must believe it’s mostly true. In time, the pain will fade, but you’ll always have the memories. Take time to mourn. Take time and get away. Mostly, take care of you.

    Always,
    Amy Holt
    and Cammy
