With Deep Sympathy...this thought and prayer that God will keep you always in his care. Wishing I could be there to hold your hand. Please know how much you are loved and how deeply your loss is felt. It will be the little things that you will remember the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help push away the pain and bring the smiles back again.
