I can't tell you how deeply saddened I am for all of you. Such a terrible loss for everyone. May God wrap his arms around you all and give you peace in the coming days. Ellison and Chandler, I have never had the pleasure of meeting you two, but it is so obvious how proud he has always been of you both. My girls went through this also at a young age so I feel your pain. Hang on to those wonderful memories.
