As the father of two wonderful daughters myself, I can only imagine the pain your family is experiencing at this time from your lost. My heartfelt condolences. Draw comfort from the knowledge you will be rejoined as a complete family again someday. In the mean time, use his memories to strengthen your relationships with those still in your lives now.



Blessings to the entire family.

Manny and Anna,



There is no way to imagine how heavy your hearts are, but rest assured Alex has the best baby sitter a child could have until you all rest in His love and care.
