Angie and family,
Words cannot describe the loss you are feeling unless it is someone who has been there.
Our sympathy goes to you and your family during this time of grief.
Virgina
Thinking of you all wishing I could take some of your pain away. Grief is
painfull and no one can do it for you if I could I would.
If we had not loved him it would not hurt.
In my own way I’m just trying to say I love you and take care
You and your family are in my prayers

I’m so sorry for your loss. If there is anything we can do please let me know.
Love,
