Beverly, Gail, Debbie,
We are so very sorry for the sudden passing of your brother, TR. It is such a tremendous heartbreak to lose a sibling. We both know the feeling of that sadness with the loss of my brother, Mark and Marshall’s sister, Barbara a few years ago. It seems so unfair to have to lose two siblings, which is now the case in your family.
May God Bless and Give You Comfort As Only He Can Do.
