Mr. and Mrs. Scanlan,
I am so sorry for your loss. This has been a very hard year for the two of you. I know words can not bring you comfort for the pain that you feel, but I pray that you will rely on your faith to keep you strong. On those days when you think you can't take another step remember the poem "Footprints in the Sand",
God's always there beside you, to carry you on those days. May you find peace.
