Hi Jonathan,

I didn't know it was this recent. On my brothers birthday, who recently passed away after having survived a boat explosion a few years before, in which his son passed away.
We miss our beloved ones but I believe they are never really gone. They live on in our memory and I believe in more then that only. It is something that gives a flame inside, remembering with faith.
I believe nothing good gets lost. Only darkness really dies.

May you find and have great comfort!

Geert :-)

Dear Victor, and Jonathan,
I'm an old friend of your dad, and grandfather.
Jeanne was my best friend for many years.
We go back to is't grade grammar school. They were a
loving couple, and we kept in touch all these years.
George was always thoughtful when my daughter
had cancer, and sent me many get well, and a sympathy card
when she passed away. Even though moving to "Arizona"
we still dropped a card to one another.
Love From, "Josie" & (Roxanne).
