My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Triston was a classmate of my granddaughter. She has told me what a nice young man he was. He will be missed by so many but he will always be with you in your heart. God Bless you all.

Dearest Lori, God gave you a baby to raise and you did a very good job. Triston must have been a special kind of person that shared love wherever he went. He did more in his young life than most people never do, he made a difference. And God gave him to you to raise, makes you pretty special, too. May your heartache ease and may the fond memories fill you up and make you laugh once again. Time heals, Lori, time heals.
Brenda Ramey left a message on December 24, 2014:
Lori I have prayed for you. Your son was taken too young. As a mother & a grandmother I can not imagine having to go thru this! But I do know that God is the only strength that can get you thru it. His comfort will help you heal. Hold your sons memories in your heart forever always & in time your smile will return to replace the hurt. God will carry you as long as you need him to. Pray hard & talk to your son when you pray too. It helped me when I lost my fiancé. God Bless you Lori.
