Not sure what to say?

DaShan and Family,
My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family. I know it's tough right now but just continue to gain strength from your family and friends. May God continue to bless and keep you.

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 to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again. I don't remember when I didn't know Bertie. He and my brother George and the other fellows used to loved to sing on the street corners or where ever they were back in the day. With loving memories,
