I lost my son @ the young age of 25. Here's his Remington 870 410 that my friend engraved for me.


Rest In Peace Rick Burks !

Very , very sad to hear, I know what you deal with everyday and the pain doesn't get any easier,
April 22, will be 7 yrs. for me and my "Little Buddy" was only 13 y.o., he has the same shotgun I bought him in the youth model and of coarse not engraved.
I was not his father but he was my son,,MAK IV, 10-15-1993 - 4-22-2007

I am touched. What a terrible loss. I had a friend who buried two daughters. He had a photo of them in his office with a yellow sticky on the photo with his scrawled hand writing: "Bitter or Better?" No one can know how you feel except someone who has been there, and all I can do is give my condolences.
