I know from experience how difficult dealing with loss can be. I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thoughts and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love. - So Sorry Linda

Our deepest sympathy are sent to you! I just arrived back from Columbus so I am sending a prayer at this time to all of you as you prepare yourselves for his final journey. Hugh had endured a great deal of physical challenges over the years. I am glad God set him free from pain & took him to be with his beloved Em as they wait for all of you. May God give you peace, comfort, & strength during this time of great loss. I am sorry I missed being with you. Love you! Paul & Melanie H

Danae and Anita,
Sorry for the loss of your DAD. I still have fond memories of your Dad and Mom when we all were younger and you lived in the house in newtown. It is sad how we lose contact with the ones we always grew up with and then a death brings us back. Just know that my prayers are with you all and again I am sorry. May we all see one another again one day in Heaven.
