I only knew Abraham for a short time when he was a young child and I'm sorry I didn't get the privilege of knowing him as a wonderful young man.

I have been friends with his mom for many years and my thoughts and prayers are with her and her family. I have been so touched and moved by the life that Abraham lived.

I pray the Lord will be with you and comfort you.

Abraham smiles down upon us now and we are warmed by the spirit of sunshine he shared with us in his life...always a bright smile, always a cheerful demenor, forever in our hearts. I will never forget the musical he (and Sarah) played in during summer stock, where Abe played the part of the King...he had lost his hair as a result of chemo, and the crown wouldn't stay on its perch, but he never fell out of character as his smile and sense of comedy shone through from curtain up to the final bow. God bless the family left behind to grieve; may He provide comfort and eternal hope.

I did not know Abraham but I wish I did!

I feel like I did because his loving mother has shared his story. In reading that story, I have come to see a strong and brave young man. Who, in a time during his own aching pain and illness worked for a cure.

He fought and won his battle with cancer, He should have had a long and healthy life.

May God Bless Abraham's family,as well as all of the families involved, they are the ones who ache now.

I remeber the first time I met Abraham and Sarah. Both these beautiful children had the most amazing expressive eyes. Abraham had a lively spirit and Sarah more quiet.What a gift our family had been given with the addition of Deborah, Abraham and Sarah! Even though we could not be together during the years our children where growning up I always felt a part of their lives through the stories that David and Deborah shared and the pictures. God used Abraham to touch so many lives in his short 18 years and I know he has a wonderful plan for Sarah, Rachel and Becca. Abe will forever be in our hearts. May Gods loving arms comfort you.

Abraham was one of the strongest and most beautiful person that I have ever known. He went through alot during his short life. Even though his life was only 18 years long, he lived it to the fullest. He still has dreams that were not accomplished. He had so much going for him even after he was free of cancer. This tradgedy makes me appreciate the ones I love now, while they're still here. I guess you never really know what will happen next, you just have to keep moving on with your life because you will never know when you will lose it.
