    I am so, so sorry for your family’s loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

    Gena, I look back and think about all the things that “we” have experienced as a family, and I think that you know that I can’t give you advice about how to grieve, there is no solutions, no easy answers, but I can give you a listening ear, a shoulder to hug and cry on and hope that I know you will keep her memories with us. The craft fairs are coming up and I know she is crafting already, as she is “catching” up with “our family’s she is laughing with Patty Z, hugging Angie, fishing with Oather and Justin, watching reality television with Chris, meeting Danielle’s dad Lawrence and dancing with my mom Velda Jean” She has a new family in her new house that she hasn’t even met yet…. Patty is “Jordanizing her with Z’s parents and her and Simone are thinking about what they are going to do later…Debbie will welcome us and catch us up when its our time…Do you think they have a smoking and nonsmoking section? Love and Hugs Val
