Please feel free to wear camouflage and jeans in memory of Levi.

In times like these, nobody knows what to say, but your presence speaks volumes to the family. We never know what to do either, but think of something to do in memory of Levi. It might take you one month, one year or ten years, but when you have it completed, let his family know what you have done and then Levi lives on through what you have accomplished.
