Let your heart talk rather than the paper.  :)  That's why the words are easy to come by, getting them on paper is not as important as getting them into the hearts of those around you.... You'll do just fine, everyone here is sending along their prayers, how could it go wrong?

So so sorry. All of our worst fears realized. My Troop lost a beloved ex-Scout Master in his prime earlier this year and it deeply affected some boys and many adults. This is so much worse.

 

Boys grieve in many ways and they are not so good in processing their emotions.
