Kris, I am so very sorry for your loss. Even though I lost my dad almost 20 years ago, the void affects me to this day. I am glad you have so many people in your life who can support you during this time. Thinking of you, Chris

Kris & Ben,

I have been thinking about you two often over the past few days. Words can not express how deeply sorry I am for the loss of your mother. I know how hard it is to loose a parent but know that they are always with you.

May God bless you during this difficult time. XXOO

Love

Bev
