Hi Colleen, There are no words to express my profound sense of the losses you have suffered so recently! Your Dad was a special person to me that I got to share some wonderful memories with! Your son was someone whom I only got to know through a few conversations! In the spirit of who we were as friends so long ago on this road we have traveled, I cannot find the words to share with you for your profound losses! My heart goes out to you, your Mom, your Son and all your extended friends and family! God Bless You, and keep you WHOLE through these trying times! Love, Marc
