Extending Deepest Condolences

The loss of a loved on is hard to bare

taken to soon, and so unfair.

The hurt and sorrow, when they depart

tears a piece, straight from your heart.

Nothing can stop the hurt you feel,

or where to start, or if it's real.

Only time can heal the pain,

And good memories will help

you to smile again.-----
Betty & Craig our heart breaks for you, just know we are always here.
Marvin & Jo Stewart.
