Dear Family, I did not know Mr. Irons, but I do know the sorrow that comes from the passing of one that is loved. I too offer my sympathies on your loss. Please continue to turn to God's Word the Bible for comfort. Our heavenly Father is the "...the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort..." 2Cor. 1:3,4. Neither he nor his Son Jesus the Christ wants us to remain in such sorrow, that is why Jesus promises us that his Father will cause a resurrection to life of those who have died...John 5:28,29. When these days come we will all experience the joy of what Revelation 21:3,4 promises us when we can live our lives free of such pain as you are now going through. Continue to reflect on the love God has for mankind...Jo.3:16.

I had the pleasure of teaching Will in Sunday School and Bible School at St. James Lutheran Church. He was a fun loving kid; full of life and spirit. May God bless and comfort his family as they struggle to say good-bye to their special Will.

Dear Iron's family. I was so saddened to hear of Will's passing. I was fortunate enough to reunite with Will a few years ago when he was working at the WalMart DC. One thing for sure is that he is no longer suffering and he is in a much better place than the rest of us. My thoughts and prayer's go out to your entire family. Robbie
