Devon, I extend my sympathy to you at this terrible time in your life and the life of your son. Naté was a very special person who I know was a very devoted wife and mother. I'm so glad you were able to move back with family before her battle started. I'm going to miss her great smile and gentle teasing we had so much of in the office. May my prayers and thoughts cover you in your time of adjustment to your loss. I'll be praying for you often as you continue to raise your son. May God bless and keep both of you in his strong tender arms.
