Jackson said, “When I play the violin I feel like I forget about my sickness. I want a violin with a low sound. I love the way I sound when I play it.” More of Jackson’s Story

Every time my husband Neil and I see a train, we immediately think of Will,” Ginny Heaton said. “Will just absolutely loved trains.
