Darlene:
I was flying out Sunday when they told me. I felt like someone just hit me in the gut. Wish I could tell you that I understand how you feel, only you know that feeling. Also wish I could tell you how to endure the agony you must be going through. However I do know that you will be blessed even through all of this. People are praying and thinking about you.
Please contact me if you need. Craig
