On behalf of the Carrollton-Farmers Branch RSPA, I'd like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy to you, Aubrey, and to the members of your family. May the good Lord bless you with great courage and strength in the coming weeks as you go through the grieving process. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
I am so sorry that you are experiencing this tragedy. You were so happy when I saw you in Allen last week at the District X meeting. How sad it is that happiness can turn to great sorrow in a matter of seconds.
Reverently,
J. Gayle Vrana
