Violet,I know how you are feeling now and how you will miss him in the future days. The only thing that helps me now is knowing my husband is with the Lord and I am sure you feel the same way. It's hard tho. So glad you have children that will help you. If you can, try and keep busy to keep your mind busy. It helps me. Praying for you. Marilyn Morrison (from Church In the Valley)
