What a shock to learn that now Jim is gone too. But not the memories, and they will live on with the Hanson kids who remember the good times Mom and Day had with Jim and Jackie. I think, how did we get from there to here so fast? Please accept, again, our sympathies.

Dear McHale Family,

I am extremely sorry for the loss of your dad. Now he and Aunt Jackie are together again after only being apart for 13 days, which I hope is comforting to all of you. The McHale brothers are together once again, kicking their heels, and enjoying each others company as they continue on with their journey. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear McHale Family,

Deepest sympathy to all of you with the loss (now) of both of your parents/grandparents so close to one another. May you find some comfort in knowing they are at peace together.

Bless all of you as you deal with this double loss. May your fond memories be the treasures of your hearts as well as the glue that continues to bind your families together.
