Grief can be so very hard for those of us left behind, but "special" memories help us cope, accept, and push forward. Keep his cherished memories alive by talking about him, sharing funny stories. All you have is the past,true friends & loved ones 'never' get tired of hearing the same stories! Jesus will comfort you all; He is but a whisper away! HuGs to you all! (((squeeze)))
