Words are never the same as being there. Unfortunately I am not able to be there but may these words comfort all my family. I love each and every one of you and I pray that God gives you strength from day to day during and after this difficult time. So many losses these last few years. I guess all those that have passed recently will start a watch party because we too must pass this way at some point. Love on each other while you have the chance. With sympathy, Leon
