My heart is very heavy

Connor Bruce Smith won his battle against SMA today . He passed away at 8:05 pm EST at Bronson in Kalamazoo, MI . He was my best friend . I miss him horribly already . He left on his terms . His way . He died in my arms with his mother holding him too ... His oldest brother was there by his side as well . I love him more then anything in the world

I'm so sorry to hear this, my condolences to you and your family. Rest in peace Connor.

Super32 · 04-26-2017, 09:32 PM

I am sorry for your loss. I had no idea what SMA was until you started the first thread on your son. No family should have to go through what yours has. I pray for a cure.

StraWMyerS · 04-26-2017, 09:33 PM

May God be with you and your family. I know Connor is a blessing to those who knew him and anyone who followed his story. So sorry to hear this, he is really an inspiration.

TWard · 04-26-2017, 09:44 PM

Deeply sorry for your loss. I can't even begin to fathom what's been going on. Your family is in my prayers. Rest in peace

I hope the memory of every single one of those days stays ever fresh in your mind. I hope the memories of your son serve to sweeten your future days with your loved ones. I hope that all who were touched by the story of Connor will honor him by holding their own loved ones a little tighter.

Connor had a purpose and a mission in this world. He completed his mission and the Lord has called him home. My prayers and thoughts are with you. I am so sorry for your loss.
