Sunrise 6/23/2010; Sunset 9/17/2026. Rayshawn Daniel Anderson.

 Unfortunately, he was unable to attend school because he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth. To my wife, I don't know how to thank you for how you took good care of our son and still take care of him in his afterlife.

 He was the light that sparkled in our world, with his smile and appreciation for you. From you saying to him, "Hi Daddy"!!! And his smile in return. I shed a tear every time I hear you say that. I appreciate you and everything you did for him. He is smiling down on us from heaven. 

My son, who lived with cerebral palsy, was lovingly welcomed into heaven, whole and at peace. He is survived by brothers Joshua L. Gardner, Timothy D. Gardner, Rodney H. Anderson Jr., Ronal L. Anderson, Roddell L. Anderson, and Sisters Raquel L. Anderson and Rayshell E. Anderson. Grandmother Patricia E. Gardner and Great Uncle Rocky Hudson. And a host of aunts and uncles. 

(Job3:25) Indeed, losing a child is many parents' worst fear still today. Not only did Job lose 10 children, but he also lost his livelihood, his health, and his sense of security as God's faithful servant. But reading about Job's reaction to tragedy should remind us that our hope and joy are rooted in God's unshakable character and the promise of eternal life through Jesus.
