Dear Pam and family, My heartfelt condolences for you and yours, and if i lived closer I would be there in person to hug your neck. This is a tragedy but the good news in it all is that next time you see him, there will be no more goodbyes and he will be healed. there will be no more tears and no more sorrow.... EVER!! Grieve when you want to and where you have to. Everyone grieves differently do not let anyone tell you how to or when you should stop grieving. You spent many years with your dear sweetheart.
You take as long as you need or as little as you need. Much love, Gretchen
At our rented place near Wellsboro.
