So very sorry to read of the tragic loss of your precious young son Edward.
Our heavenly Father promises us that very soon he will 'swallow up death forever,' Isaiah 25:8: "He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces. The reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, For Jehovah himself has spoken it". What a wonderful future hope that is.
Much Bible-based comfort can be found on jw.org

Pam, I worked with Chris at Bassett. I hope you, Chris and your family hold on to each other and help each other through this horrible tragedy. No parent should have to go through this. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

My neighbor(Scott Wetmore) was Edward's science teacher, and my love(Tim Lutner) was organist at the Franklin Methodist Church, where Edward's grandmother Patricia sang in the choir. Tim was always very fond of Patricia and Edward(grandparents) and we send our heartfelt condolences at this very sad time for you all. He was a wonderful young man whose memory will live forever in the hearts of those who knew him.

in the few short times i was able to meet and spend with eddie, he never failed to always have a smile on his face, a joke to tell, and a positive vibe to release. he was such a positive person, and loved God so passionately. he truly was such an inspiration to me as a peer in the leadership and clubhouse community. May eddies soul rest easy, and his spirit live on forever. i'll miss our conversations ❤️

Our tears and sympathies are with Edward's family. We never had the privilege of meeting Edward, but he was exactly the age of our son (also born June, 2001), whom we lost unexpectedly at age ten. This pulls at our hearts very much. I'd like to think that Christopher and Edward already met in heaven. May you find comfort and hope in Jesus and in the knowledge that this separation is temporary. Earth's pains and tears will make heaven even sweeter.
