To Sammy and Melissa, and to Katherine, Madelyn Tom and Samuel:
Losing both a parent and a parent-in-law on the same day, and losing two grandparents on the same day is a level of loss that unimaginable.
Y'all have been in my thoughts non-stop since Rannah called to let me know Mike had been placed with hospice, and when she texted me with the news that you had lost your mother on the same day Sammy, my heart ached-- and still does-- for each of you.
Sammy, while I did not know your parents, your mother's obituary sheds much light on their entrepreneurial spirit and I know they had to be very proud of you and your family.

Sammy and Melissa: My thoughts are with each of you as you work through your grief and celebrate the well-lived lives of your parents.
