Dear Claudia and family, My heart breaks for you in the loss of Melissa and Art. Losing a child is the most difficult thing a parent can endure. People will tell you they understand, but they do not. We lost our 46 yr old daughter in Jun 2014 so we understand your pain and sadness. God grants to us the grace and strength to endure times of sadness, He is standing right by you, hold His hand. Love to you all with our prayers.
