    I can truly say Landen touched me with his story. He has also spoken to my children through his testimony through all his trials. We have prayed daily for you and will continue praying for the family he left behind. Thank you for being willing to share Landen’s story and being a blessing to so many you have never met.

    Little Landen left a legacy by the way he gaved hardship and lived his life for His Lord and Savior. Everyone that has followed his testimony called life has been Blessed in some way. Even though he had more bad days than he would have liked he still praised and thanked His Lord. His prayer would be for us to follow his example. He has fought the good fight welcome to Heaven.

    Landens story has been a blessing to me the short time I have been following. A boy after my own heart loving the Andy Griffith Show. I loved it in the video where he told the nurse she was beautiful.

    As I set here and read this, it takes me back when my sweet boy past with cancer. Brandon was a Downs child and live a full life till he turned 35. On Sept.17,2018 we were told our boy had cancer and had just a few days to three weeks to live, he went home to be with the Lord Oct.15,2018. I didn’t think I could keep going without my sweet boy, but God’s Grace, Mercy, and Love I have walked all most a year without my son. He is at rest and so is your sweet boy. God has taken all the pain away. He will walk each day He will make each step you take easier. You never get over it, but you learn to be at Peace! God Bless!

While it seems an eternity to us, to Landen it will be in the blink of an eye.
