Sad Farewell for a Loved One Back Home . . .

Death is always difficult; sudden death is such a shock, but especially when you're 7,000 miles away. We have been grieving this week with our young cousin Michael for the death of his long-time love. Although we have all been on the phone with him, some of us just are not able to be there right now. Death always seems to bring out the best in some people and the worst in others. Michael is very fortunate to have a very supportive, loving family. Of course, his immediate family has rallied around, and Holly & Sherri were able to be there for him as well, to help represent this segment of his extended family. Michael, we love you and the rest of us will save our hugs for when we see you next. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of great pain and sorrow. Love, Margie & Stan
