I am truly so very sorry for all of you as you are faced with going through the unimaginable loss of John. I met Fred and Beth through my brother, Tony. To say that this shouldn´t have happened is an understatement. We can´t ask why and even if we do, there is no answer. All you can do is rely on the support of each other, be grateful for the bond and time you and John had together, and yes, mourn the loss of one who you still want here with you. Try to take some solace in knowing that...
