I am so sorry for your loss. Sometimes it's the little things that help us cope with loss; a photo, a memory, kind words. These things sustain us until we find our reserves of hope and strength within. I hope you find a place within youselves where the thoughts, prayers and compassion of others bring you comfort.
You all are in my prayers. Psalms 55:22
