My prayers go out to Mrs. Cindy Ladner and daughter Courtney Grant. I know it's hard right now and will be forever, to be without the one you love. Just remember that only the "best" ones are taken from us and taken to a beautiful place. I am just around the corner if either of you need me. Love always.
