When we lose someone we love, it seems that time stands still what moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why they left or why they left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that they died, but that they lived. And that their life gave us many wonderful memories. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy on the passing of your Son, Brother, Husband,& Father.
