Robert, Nancy and Dean
I am so sorry for the loss of a beautiful mother, & wife. I am so sorry I never had the chance to meet her in person.
I had spoken to May over the phone on many occassions. I know she is in a better place and I would not call you back for one chance meeting. We will meet on the other side. Please say hello to my Dad and Family.
Family, keep your heads up and look to the master of your mother/wife for your strength.
I know the sorrow/loss is great, there are few words that can comfort your hearts right now. Just know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
