Adam- As I have said before, I ache for you to the depths of my soul. In one fatal swoop, you were taken to be with the Lord and be a part of his chorus of angels. I really miss 'my shadow'. So many people have lent their every sorrow and prayer to us. We greatly appreciate that. I know you have got to be behind that. You never liked it when I would cry. Buddy- I love you more than anything. Remember- our love is like a circle; it never ends. We used to do that with each other and say I loved you bigger than anything. I want you to know that Daddy and I are so proud of the young man you had become. 'Had' What a powerful statement. I just can't think of you in past tense. I don't think I ever will. I feel you everywhere. Thank you for that. Your presence means everything at this time. I am thankful to God that you are with Him. God, if you ever need any extra help, Adam is a great teacher. I love you son. Karen

Little Adam You will be missed by our whole family. When you called me about my knee surgury, it touched my heart. You faced so many challenges in life, but you still had time for other people . Your smile would light up a dark room. I know you are in heaven now, and running after all the girls. Have fun in your new home and remember we are thinking about you, missing you, and loving you every day , 24-7 until we can go and meet you in heaven. Linda, Bill Jennifer

Adam was such a happy and courageous young man and his presence will surely be missed. However, he will NOT be forgotten. Even when he was sick, or just had surgery, he seemed to always have a smile on his face. That is the Adam we all will remember. He was taken from you guys way too early but he loved every minute he had with you with all of his heart. One could look at him and know that to be true. You know, no matter what you need, we are here for you. We love each and every one of you.

We love you bigger than the world!! love, Uncle Sam and Aunt Donna
