Oh NO. I am so very sorry. Was it sudden? I don't know which is worse on survivors, slow or without warning. I recognized your son right away. I will pray for you and for his wife.

That is too young isn't it. Tom's brother died in his early 50's and I sort of still expect him to walk through the door simply because he was so young.
I'm sad for you Sandra.
Hugs

Only last night I was thinking of your cousin's passing and wonder if you attended the memorial. Yep, I remember seeing this picture of he and Dan a couple years ago, when you said those two were like peas in a pod. Skipper sounds like the kind of fellow who grabbed Life with both hands outstretched, enjoying every moment. Time is a thief.

I am so sorry for your loss Sandra. What a surprise. I did see he had my birthday, but not the year - gosh he was young! Sounded like a wonderful man.

It is a huge sadness for he was still quite young and I assume it was not a loss that was expected. Sorry for you loss.

Ann said...

I am so sorry for your loss. He wasn't that old. Had he been sick?
