I wish to extend my condolences to the Blessing family with a special note to: Dean and Sheryl, (their children), Rebeca, John, Phillip and Ben Blessing. *I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love. ~Leo Buscaglia, My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time of great sorrow.
