Justin and Brittany, I am so sorry for your loss of your mom and Grandma. Amy was a light in the dark. Her witt and smile was contagious. She bought me a gold ring when i retired and i wear it everyday. Your grandma was also a great presence. She bragged on you both and your children every time that i spoke with her. My heart is broken and my prayers are with you both. Give the pain to God and celebrate their lives.
