We will forever love you and miss u. Church camp will never be the same. Thank you for your fellowship and all the fun memories we made while learning Gods Word. Conner the Cowboy, you will forever be in our hearts. Sincerely, Stephanie, Mackenzie, Sadi, and Katie, and all the Blazing Bananas! Keep wearing that yellow bandanna.
My heart is so heavy finding out the news of Conner's passin . I had the privilege of spending the week with him at church camp this year . He was my co captain for leading the "Blazing Bananas". Everybody loved Conner. He kept us all laughing and was so good at fellowshipping with the kid . I'd drag him on stage red faced with embarrassment and he'd jump right in and do the dances with me. This year was "Fruit of the Spirit". I have no doubt that Conner is with our heavenly Father. He had a strong faith In God and I know this because I prayed with him everyday. We love you Conner the Cowboy!!! We will forever miss u!

Kellie,
If things get too hard to bare, take it to Jesus in prayer. I can't find words that will comfort you but I know Jesus will give you the strength and carry you through. Remember the RAINBOW he gave my niece and he has one for You and Chris that will give you peace.
Love

I am so sorry for the loss of your son. May God give you and your family strength to make it throught this most difficult time in your life. I'm praying for you and your entire family.
May God comfort you as you walk through this valley of the shadow of death
We did not know your loved one, but we have had difficult times like you’re going through right now. My wife and I have felt the loss of two sons .
In a big family it’s good to remember that everyone grieves differently, and does so at their own pace.
Although the pain of loss affects everyone, I can assure you that as time passes you will be able to think more on the good times that you had together and less about Connor being gone.
It is always good to hear people remember and name the one you’ve lost.
Connor will not be forgotten by friends and I hope they’ll talk with you about their good times with him.
I am so sorry for your loss. We will lift you up in prayer
I am saddened for you and all the family for your loss..praying for your strength during this time.
Niki,
I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Kellie & Chris,
My deepest sympathy over your loss. Psalm 88:1-2: O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee; Let my prayer come before thee; incline thine ear unto my cry. Psalm 71:5: For thou art my hope, O Lord God; thou art my trust from my youth. Psalm 70:1: Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make hast to help me, O Lord.
I'm sorry for your loss and if I can help in any way let me know.
