OMG Dee, I'm so sorry! I just saw this online and I can't believe my eyes. My prayers are with you and the kids, his dad and the rest of the family. I'm so shocked. I'll let Bradley know. I'm sure he feels the same way. We both loved you guys soon much. I know we lost touch with each other and this is a hell of a way to find you after all this time. Call me at 301-697-4480, if there's anything I can do for you. I love you and I miss you. Michael was a wonderful man that's why I introduced you two. Life is so unpredictable, and I know your lose. I'm a widow as well. I still never think of them as gone. There's not much I can say to you to make that pain go away. But all the prayers I have will be for you all. I love you lady.
