Judy,

We never know what to say at a time like this, so I just let my heart speak to you as I wrap my arms in Love for you and your family.

I never met Paul, but I met a part of him thru you.

May God be with you as you triumph thru this trial in your life. It´s definitely a time when you will pull God closer, because you will need him on this journey. He will get you thru just lean on him, take your time and on those really rough days pray and pray some more. You´re in my prayers as well as my heart.

Love, Peggy Pettigrew (God guided our steps to meet at JCrew)

In times of sorrow, when words of comfort are needed most, it seems they are most difficult to say. But may you find comfort in knowing that warm thoughts and sympathy are with you.
