Hollis & Mary, Sam & Anita McMillan down in Blowing Rock, N.C standing with you in your grief over Jon Marc's tragic death. You know so well we will all see him again but the pain now is so very real. We lost our 16 year old granddaughter 5 years ago to cancer. She was a worship dancer and we will see her dance again. Though distance & time separate us our love for you is very much intact...
