Words cannot express my condolence in your lost; I’ve known the family for over 20 years and was a part of it for most of that time. I still hold all of you in my heart and I know with the love and Gods strong will, he will carry this family during this moment of sorrow. Hold your head high realizing after every dark night comes a brighter day. With a heavy heart, I wish you all well. Terry
