Our sympathy and prayers are with all of you. We most likely met most of your famiy at Brendan and Jeanne's wedding (I am Jeanne's, and now Brendan's Aunt Susan). There is no good time to lose someone. As some of you know, we just went thru this in September with the loss of my mother. The one thing that remains and no one can take away are the memories of all the happy times. Hopefully in time, the memories of those times will help all of you cope with this loss.
