Dear Gina and the entire circle of John's family and friends,
I'm a friend of Gina, from work and have this bereavement ministry, which I use to tend to family and friends with the loss of a loved one, including the eulogy below that I wrote for my own mom, much too young!
At my age, know, all too well, special loss...and from all accounts, John was special! Understanding the hole left behind, regardless the inevitability or forewarning, pray this helps some wee bitto...
