Death anniversaries are very difficult. I'm sending energies of comfort to Billy in hopes they will help him in some way.

Billy, My father, Chuck Bridges, died June 3, 2019. He was on same floor of Terrace Asstd Living and was concerned for you and your Dad before he died. I am sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Sorry it took so long for me to find out. I know you have great love for your family. Mom would tell me of your family trips and they always sounded wonderful. We weren't able to have a local funeral for my Dad bc sister-in-law's husband was very ill (and died) and I was ill with an infectious disease caught from Dad. We did have military funeral in Massachusetts later on. I understand your grief and hope you have received comfort knowing loved ones live on in our hearts. Vicky Bridges [email protected]
