Tim and Sally, I was so very sorry to hear about Jessica's death. We love our children so much and it's so hard to let them go. My thoughts are with you and your whole family.

May 5, 2014

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We know the pain, shock, and tremendous grief you are experiencing as we lost a son at the age of 29 almost 3 years ago. Lean on your family and friends for their love and support, cherish your memories, and know she is in a better place. We can promise you the passing of time will help you cope with the loss, but life can be so incredibly unfair at times. We look at life differently now, and live each day like it's our last, and, perhaps, you will, too. God Bless, Lisa (Davis) and Chuck Mansfield
