    I had met Chance around the age of 13 or 14. He lived next to my grandparents and would stop in daily. We ran around town and caused “chaos”. He became like a brother to me. Although life as it usually does it went to fast and we went separate ways. I hadn’t talked to Chance in over 4 years. You always think you have time to reconnect unfortunately this isn’t always true. I hurt for his family because I know how wonderful of a person was lost.

    Chance I love you and will miss you always. To the family you will be in my thoughts.

    I am so sorry for the loss of our loved one. Please allow God to comfort you through His promises to care for our loved ones in His Word the Bible at John 5:28,29 and Rev21:3,4. Death is definitely a cruel enemy that God has promised to do away with it shortly.(1Corinthians15:26) Our loving Heavenly Father holds out a wonderful hope and future found in the bible for more information about these loving promises please visit http://www.jw.org.
