Dear Mr. G and family. Just want to say how sorry I am for you all for the loss of your loved one. I lost my nephew to heart disease in 1998, Lionel's son at 19. Lionel to Brain Cancer in 2002 and Dad to Sepsis 10 months later. I know what it is to loose loved ones. I know how much it means to hear from those we have so much history with. May you never know what it is like to not have it. God Bless.
