Dear Elizabeth - I Hold You in my Heart.

It was great sadness that I read of the death of the youngest son of Elizabeth. She is a very nice lady who frequents one of the genealogy boards that I like. She is a lovely woman who adores her family.

The loss of a child is almost too painful to bear. I lost my daughter 11 years ago. My dear friend Val lost her son when he was only 17. My Internet friend, Annie, like Elizabeth, lost her dear son to an automobile accident. We are not supposed to see our children die.

The hole in Elizabeth's heart will never heal - the pain will never go away.

Today, I cry for her - and for all of us who have lost our beloved children.
