To Mrs. Vass and Thomas,
I am so saddened to here about the passing of your love one. I will miss the hugs from Mr. Vass because, everytime we would come in contact with one another he would give me a hug. I know that lossing someone that you love and have grown wise with will be one of the hardest things in life to deal with. So Mrs. Vass please, stay strong! Just know that Mr. Vass is with the King now and he will be there waiting for you with open arms. Know that you all are in my prayers at this painful time and that the answer to cure the pain is the good and funny times. So remember those times because, the good times always over come the bad. My God Bless you and yours.
