As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
I trust he taught you how to use picture-in-picture on the TV so you can continue to watch weekend Sports.
Seriously, thinking of you at this time of grief. Take care of yourself.
Love you, Ruth
