Not sure what to say?

Hello Brother,
It is a dark and dreary Sunday and I am thinking of you today, as your father's 76th birthday just passed on the 26th of March and it has been 5 months since you left us. So much has happened in those 5 months that it has been a whirlwind.Your mother was very sick for a few months, we lost Uncle Ben,we had an ice storm, that I know would have really drove you crazy, because we all had to jump in and live in each other's houses. Thank God for big families. So Norman and I...

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

Hello Brother,
Well it's been two weeks since you left us, and they say it is suppose to get easier. Well let me tell you, it isn't. I think we are all still in shock, and we have a good moment and then we stop and think and we realize, you are not with us anymore.I cannot believe this has happened. We are all trying to do our best, but I see the strain that it is taking on each one of us differently. I call Norman regularly, to make sure he is doing ok, and he says he is but you can tell...

Dear Marc, My sincere sympathy in the shocking death of your loved one. My son Michael was at your wedding to Rachel and we thought so well of you. Hope your family is doing well. Much love. Carol Saufley

Theresa,the McCann family and Norman;
Diane and I were shocked to read the news of Bobby's passing. The passing of a family member is difficult, but even more so when they leave us while they are still so young.
Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
