Greg and Nan, I cannot begin to imagine your loss. Robert and Jeremy have known each other since kindergarten and have been friends most of that time. I have watched him grow with Robert and support each other in their sports activities, as we have shared many a hard and cold bleacher seat and tense moments as they climbed out of the football piles. Please accept my most sincere condolences and my prayers.



With Love
