Dear Kathy and Bruce, I am a coworker of Kathy's and so want to express my sympathy to both of you. I lost my mom two weeks ago and think I can say I know a little of how you feel. Thank God we have the belief that they are in a better place and we will see them again. But at this time, know that I understand and my thoughts are with you both. God Bless you and your family. Love, Nancy
