Braedyn Ashton Collins

Message from Jeremiah Griffin, & grandmother Joyce Dolat

My grandson Jeremiah had a class with Braedyn and said he was funny and made him laugh & smile, which leaves​ great memories for him! I'm raising my grandson, although I have not experienced such a loss, I realize the grief the parents, grandparents & entire family & friends must feel and move thru. I had interaction with Braedyn at the school Holiday sale last year at my table. I had to tell you this story because he was the only child from all 5 days that left an impression on me that was sweet & memorable. He was shopping for his family & very excited! He saw my handmade pillows & said "my grandma would really like one of those!" Then saw my elf on the shelf items & got real excited telling me "I gotta get one for my sister, she will just love one!" It wasn't what he said, it was how he said it with much love & sparkle in his eyes. I am thankful I met him, he had pure love! He loves you all & will continue to for eternity. When I see stars shining, I think of his happy eyes, putting a smile on my face. Praying your memories do the same! After watching the beautiful video you all posted, you should all be smiling and have tears of happiness, because our father God gave you a beautiful son to have eternal love & happiness with!. Praying you all keep your happy moments in mind, not his death, because his birth in Heaven has just begun! Blessings, Joyce & Jeremiah
