Sorry to hear about your husband. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your Family. After losing my brother, Leroy, it left me very alone as I am the only one left of the Dias Family here in the Bay Area. Just remember, he is in a better place and we know that some time in the future, we will all be together with our Loved Ones once again! Take care!
