To Lauren and Family:
You and your family have my deepest condolences. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. I first met your mom at one of Lusher's 2015 Senior Class Programs and we were connected ever since. She always welcomed my son Darryl in her home whenever he was in town. She will be missed.
