We are so very sorry for your loss of your sweet son. We have very fond memories of Angel playing baseball on the same team as our grandson, Brady, when he played on the West Shore. His love of baseball was always showing in his smile as he played. This will be very difficult to move on from but please stay close to Jesus. He's our one sure guide through this world. With love and prayers, Todd and Marsha Wagner

I pray those who loved this young man are comforted by the promise found in 2 Corinthians 5:8, "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord."
