    Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Although we did not know your son, we are also bereaved parents. Our son, Dalton, was a freshman at KU. He died on April 24 in a tragic accident. We have traveled a short distance in our grief travel. We have found that The Compassionate Friends meetings have helped us. If you would ever like to talk, please call.
