Maureen and family... Matt has been sharing this journey with me. I know he felt that he knew exactly what Mike and all of your family was going through, as did I. I'm saddened to learn of your husband's and father's passing. I know that as a family, you will heal and enjoy many other blessings. As a family, you will support each other as you face this new normal. I'm sharing the warmth of my hugs from a distance. Find comfort in the fact that Mike no longer has to fight this ugly...
