I am so deeply saddened to hear of your loss. I will not be able to come to the visitation or funeral, but want you to know that I have been holding your family in my thoughts and prayers. Words cannot express how very, very sorry I am that you are going through this terrible time. I remember Tanner when he was at Northeast and I used to dismiss him on Vine Street after school.

Chris and family…We are so sorry to hear of your loss, I heard it on the radio here in Algona and wondered if it was your son because the age seemed right. It has been a long time since we lived next door to your parents and you in Glenwood but we think of you often.

I am sorry for your loss. I did not know Tanner but being in EMS, I know how things like this affect families and loved ones. I’m sorry. May God be with you all.
I don’t know your family but I am well familiar with the pain of death. But these two scriptures gave me a great deal of comfort. I know they will comfort you. They are Isaiah 25:8 and Revelation 21:3-5. Yes,reading God’s Word and knowing He is close by to hear our cry for help is a great sort of comfort. Take care
