IN GODS ARMS Brett, Ben and Georgie Spies, REST IN PEACE BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. To all their family and friends, I am so sorry for your loss. My loving thoughts and healing are with you all. It is a blessing they all pass over together, no suffering. I LOVE YOU ALL. May your angels hold you tight, and walk alongside you all, through this time.

Thank you for those beautiful words Tracey. I too believe that the fact they were able to pass over together was best for all. They were meant to, I know that in my heart.

Too young

Sharon Miller May 04, 2011

Am always shocked and deeply saddened to learn of the death of young people. Promising lives just stopped like that. I wish the friends and family all the love and support to deal with this tragedy.
