So many memories...seems like just a few years ago, but then again, it's also a lifetime ago. We've all had so many losses in the past few years, and as our family becomes smaller, we need to cherish all of our special times together! Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you as you go into the next weeks and months. I'm just not so sure of the "time heals all" philosophy for these situations, but please know that you have our love and support! Love, Vicki
