This is the message that my brother, Shay, spoke at his son's funeral last Wednesday. I have been more than impressed with the way Shay and Tirzah have carried this burden in hope and faith. Watching their son, Jude, be sick the last 3 and a half months with no recovery in sight has been a trial I cannot imagine enduring. They have cared for him and loved him and fought for him. I know they will miss him terribly and struggle to find a new norm without him.  It was an example to us all to hear Shay speak at the funeral and bear witness of the hope that is ours through Jesus Christ, knowing that Jude is theirs forever, and that "it'll be alright."  Goodbye for now little Jude.  We will miss you.
