My prayers to the family; loosing a kid is a terrible experience.
How terrible. I’m so sorry!
I am so very sorry. Words are inadequate. Prayers and warmest thoughts.

It is too sad to put into words when parents have to bury their child. I cannot tell you how sorry I am this happened to you and your son. Your in my prayers.
Oh how horrible. My deepest sympathy. I cannot imagine how terrible it must be for her. What a beautiful boy. Prayers and jingles for her in her grief.
I can only offer my deepest sympathies…
I am so very sorry. My sincerest condolences. Sending prayers your way.
Oh my gosh. I am so sorry - words cannot even express. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts.
We just lost a mare (and a friend…) to perfectly unexpected early labor and horrible dystoxia (foal had his head completely turned back and knees but not the feet in the birth canal).
We have been lucky for five years, no accidents, no tragedies, or colic… Gave the mare her mid-night snack of soaked alfa-alfa cubes just before we went to bed. She was 3 wks from her foaling date and not on foal cam etc yet.
I found her dead muddy body six hours later in the field.
Yet this is NOTHING compared to losing a CHILD, let alone such a wonderful child.
As one of our breeders Carole said when I lost Playmate: feel arms around you. A big hug.
I firmly believe that “this is not it”… there is life after this.
But when things go so tragically wrong, from our perspective it is hard to see the master plan.
I know that this may come across as a collosal platitude, but think of the good times, think of the happiness and joy that little Jamie was able to give to his family, and to all of us who have seen his on-line photo album. Was that not worth it, was it not worth his brief visit on this earth?
It’s better to have loved, and lost, than never have loved at all.
So sorry. He was so young too. She’s in my prayers.
I’m very sorry to hear this, it is and will be a terrible loss and thing to live with.
Some friends of mine lost their 6 year old son two years ago to the flu. It has been a very hard road for them. I’m sure if your friend wants to talk to another family that has dealt with such a loss they would be very happy to talk.
Thank you to everyone who has posted - I am sure that when Kristi reads all the heartfelt condolences here, she will realize how much support she has out there. COTH is a wonderful extended family to have!!!
I am so sorry to hear this, my thoughts and prayers go out to the family, such a sad, horrible thing to deal with.
Losing a child has to be one of the most devastating experiences for a parent. Words are so inadequate at such a very sad time . My thoughts and prayers are with you across the miles…
My most heartfelt sympathies to Kristi…the most I can say is I am so sorry for your loss and I know that there is nothing I can say that will make it any easier.
there are no words
I am so sorry, that is just too sad. I don’t understand why these things happen. Hugs…
There can be nothing more devastating than losing a child, my deepest condolences, I am so so sorry-

I can’t imagine what a terrible hole that would leave in one’s life… Words cannot even begin to express my heartfelt sorrow for your loss. Godspeed, little Jamie… God bless, Kristi…

I’m so sorry for you loss.
Those words sound so impersonal and useless… I can’t even say I can imagine how you feel, because truthfully, it is just too painful for me to imagine. So, I guess the best I can do is add my jingles and cyber {{{{{HUGS}}}}} to the the others here. You are in my thoughts and I hope you are able to find a way to deal with the grief you must be feeling.
many jingles to you. My heart cries for you and your family.may god give you strength. sending lots of prayers to you.
