Denise, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I have had to deal with a lot of loss of life in my relatively short time. One of the things that I have learned is to be thankful for the good times and to be thankful for the grief. The fact that you are grieving is a sign of your love. It is much better to feel the pain of losing a loved one than to have never loved enough to feel it when the loss when it comes.

Take care of yourself.
