    We are so so sorry to hear about Ethan. You have our sympathies Larry and family. May the promises given to us by Jesus help you through this very difficult time. “In My Father’s house are many mansions. If it were not so I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” “For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

    Jamie, so terribly sorry for your loss, please take great comfort in knowing he is in a much better place and you have all your memories to hang on to. You were so lucky to have Ethan in your life and although the pain seems unbearable now, you will soon find a smile on your face every time you think of Ethan and who he was, and how he lived. I remember when he was born how proud you were and that was probably one of the last times we visited at the Hutchinson Leader. Prayers to you and your family.
