Coleen, my heart weeps for you and your children.. I too lost my husband, July 2010. I understand the deep emptiness you are feeling and felt prompted by the Lord to send you this message. I am your neighbor at 2783 Ridings Way.. if you ever need to talk or just take a walk with someone who understands, don't be afraid to stop by. I pray that the Lord hold you & your children in the palm of his hand, and give you the strength you will need to carry on.. always remember your memories can never be taken from you..
