Hi Aunt Nancy, Jeff, and family - my deepest sympathy for the loss you are all having to experience at this time. Growing up through all my years, I always loved hanging around you all. I have so many fond memories of these visits and will always treasure them. He will be truly missed.
I know it is not easy, but just to know that he is no longer suffering and can be at peace is comforting to hold on to.
Take care and hope to see you soon.
