I was sleeping but heard your message when I got up for night's work. So, so sorry to hear about Mike's passing. I don't think we ever get over losing someone we love dearly. I haven't. Mike was 2 years younger than Chuck, 2 years older then I am. Much, much too young. I hope he did not endure too much suffering. We will all meet together in Heaven one glorious day. I know I am looking forward to that. Five grandchildren are quite the legacy. Chuck has a granddaughter & a grandson on the way. If only my Mom Anna were here-oh how happy she would be. Life seems to be very unfair. I am glad Mike got to see his 5 grandchildren. That must be a thrill. Sorry he will miss out on their growing up years. But I am sure he will be looking over them always. Angels over you. Site will not let me put cousin- so I clicked on family.
Dad has heard the message & means to call. It is just so hard to know what to say. Dealing with loss is just heartbreaking.
This message is from Norb, Anna & Shirley
