I am saddened that this sorrow has touched your family. I regret that I have no words of wisdom. My Deb crossed that chilly river ten years back and the only thing I have learned is that she is with the Lord doing much better than I could have provided for her. I am happy for her victory, but for me, I miss her still. If I can do anything to make your life better, please let me know. I have included your family in my prayers. - Clif Hinds.
