Dear Lynne

I am so sorry for the loss of John to this awful disease. And reading your posts of John's journey, you are so right to be proud of him. Lynne I really don't know what to say but just to let you know that I will be thinking of you in the weeks to come. Tom is right – you had years of good times to remember. My sincerest condolences…[Read more]
