Dear Del Rio Family,
I'm so sorry for your loss! I pray for him and you all. Even after such suffering it's still upsetting, as I understand from my own grandfather. My aunt uses her late husband's guestbook to talk to him, in addition to prayer. It makes her feel closer to him. If you think that may help you in your grief, I can tell you from my aunt that it helps her throughout the days. I'm so very sorry for your loss!
