Oh Dear Eileen, I'm so sorry for your loss. You were such a trouper, too! Grief has it's own way, but many have gone before you, and I hope they can help you too. I just heard today, it is like losing them, twice. Isn't that so true? Give your Mom & Family, a Great-Big-Hug, from Big Sky Country, O.K?

I know that Albert must have been a great man and has a wonderful wife because I have worked with Ron for several years and Ron has been a pleasure to work with. He has great compassion for all and I am sure this was handed down from generation to generation. Ron has always had wonderful things to say about his family so I am sure this is a father, grandfather, uncle, friend who will be missed greatly. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely Carolyn DeVivo from CHAP
