Mark & Brianne,
You have my deepest sympathy as you morn the loss of your mother. No matter how old a parent is or how old the child is, it is never easy to lose your mom. I am sure she was so proud of the wonderful young man that you have grown up to become. I too am thankful for the wonderful job you've done in caring for Brianne. Please know that if Warren and I can ever provide comfort or support to you, we are always there for you (two). Debbie & Warren Burch
