I would like to express my deepest sympathies to all of you at this very trying time in all of our lives. Pop was a very special person in my life for a brief time and I was devistated when Terry phoned with the news of his passing. I find some comfort in this time knowing that he has rejoined "His Baby, " Grandma, for their final lives and are together again. Please know that you all are always on my mind and in my heart as you all have treated me with such kindness and included me as family. This will be a rough time for you all, find comfort in being such a large and close family in this time of need. Mom, I feel your pain you know how to get ahold of me if you need me. Ray find comfort and not question things for you were chosen for your strength to be by their sides. Hang in there Greg. You are a strong man and I know you will survive it may hurt for a very long time but Please keep talking and family close, for you really need this wonderful support system right now and in the future. Terry you are the truely the Love of My life. I KNOW how much you are hurting right now and the devistation that you feel. I hope you know that if you need me I am always there. Right now everyone is still numb and lost, I feel your pain. Please raise a glass for me and celebrate Pop's wonderful and full life and be thankful for all and such a wonderful Family. You are always in my Heart and Prayers I Love and Miss you All
