Balsam Lake will never be the same...

Thought about you so much yesterday, Nicholas. We've been to some pretty tough funerals... this one was not an exception.

The tears flowed freely as I remembered some great memories with C, as I imagined the pain the family is feeling, as I remembered the closeness your Nana and Papa shared with her.

The tears flowed freely for her sons. Realizing what a special and strong support they have lost.

The tears flowed freely for her husband. Grief stricken and devastated by the fact that his life's partner was taken so tragically.

The tears flowed freely as I held you close to my heart, sweet boy... as I flashed back to the agonizing moments of saying goodbye to you, one of our most precious possessions in this world.

The tears flowed freely as I realized that there is now one more beautiful soul in Heaven looking out for you.

We'll miss you, C. Balsam Lake will never be same....
