Mary, Tom and Family,

Our hearts go out to you today and always. Words will never express our feelings of what you are going through. It's been 9 months since my Dad passed away and 20 years for Barb's Mom and it still feels like yesterday. There is a void in our hearts that doesn't go away, and never will. You just learn to live with it. Just know that we are always here for you, for a word of love or just a hug. Friends are an important part of healing. Love you all.
