Je suis navré pour le deuil qui vous frappe.
Etant dans la même tranche d'âge, je comprend très bien la situation. La vie est comme cela et cependant la perte d'une personne âgée est plus normale que celle d'un enfant. Mon tour viendra, et si Dieu est là, je protègerais les miens et laisserais le souvenir que j'ai fait des choses utiles et pleines d'affections. O. Flos.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Sokol, but based on what I know from Mary Jo, he is a true hero on many fronts--in patriotism, family and spirit. So sorry for your loss. You are in our prayers.
