We are so heart broken for your family. Stacy and Shilo did everything together from little on. I have so many great memories of all those boys around our house, the birthday parties, watching movies, wrestling on the floor. Then high school and the time has just flown by and now they are 50. They had a small class of 5 so were really close. He was a great kid and was loved by us all. We ask prayers for comfort and peace for your family. Hugs to all.
