"Dear Joe and family, We are terribly sorry to hear about the passing of your dear son, Michael. We have been praying for Michael since you told us of his tragic injury. We wanted to share this poem with you in hopes of easing your pain just a tiny bit. Our deepest sympathies. Chris and Carol Bobak (Carson Panipinto?s parents) Little Angels by Author Unknown When God calls little children to dwell with Him above, We mortals sometime question the wisdom of His love. For no heartache compares with the death of one small child Who does so much to make our world, seem wonderful and mild Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold, So He picks a rosebud, before it can grow old. God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but few To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view. Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try, The saddest word mankind knows will always be ?Goodbye.? So when a little child departs, we who are left behind Must realize God loves children, Angels are hard to find. Reply"
