I have lived beside your parents for over 20 years and they were good people. I remember how happy they were when I gave them the little Maltese puppy. They both were gods children and now they are with our lord. Although it is a sad time, rejoice in our lord, for he will give you comfort and carry you through this difficult time. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. Love In Christ and God Bless You and Your Family.
