Amanda, I personally know there just aren't any words to comfort the pain, the loss..but simply to know someone is there makes a difference. Just know I am here for you, merely a phone call away. Although I never personally met your Mom, it is ironic that Jason, and David's shared illness with your Mom brought us to come to know one another, our paths crossed in our personal life journey, and you were incredible in my life as well as David's life, you made such a difference in our final days and the days that followed. Somehow I believe your Mom and David are basking in joy, no more pain, nor suffering, and simply wanted us to continue in our lives, and hang out as they probably are doing as I write this. Your Mom gave David strength, as I believe he gave to your Mom as well..quite ironic..I love you Amanda, and share in your loss
