I live in Dallas, Texas with my wife Laura. I have four wonderful children, Andrew, Kevin, Matt, and Amy. I got into findagrave when my grandson, Mitch died in 2005. His brother, Carson was looking at my shotgun. pointed it at Mitch, thinking it wasn't loaded. He pulled the trigger and the gun went off and shot Mitch in the chest. I watched my grandson die right in front of the whole family. After Mitch died, I felt responsible for his death because it was my gun and I let Carson hold it. I paid for Mitch's casket and headstone to make things easier for his parents and I got the family grief counseling but I still felt like there was something else I needed to do so I have talked to kids about gun control. I got into findagrave because I wanted to find another way to tell people about Mitch and about gun safety. Guns are not toys. You have to be careful with them or you might cost someone their life and cost their family a world of pain. If anyone wants to leave flowers and a note on my grandson's page, It would mean a lot to his parents. His full name was Mitchell Alexander Hennessy. He was born on July 13th, 1987 and died on August 14th, 2005. He is buried in the Parklawn Memorial Gardens in Plainview, Texas.
