I have loved and cared about you both, Bret and Sandy for many years. I hope that you already knew that. You both have always been there for me and my family even when I may not have deserved it. I am so grateful to have you both in my circle of people who i consider my own family. You are both very special people. You are honest, considerate, and non-judgmental. I am sorry for your loss and pray that you are given peace throughout this process. I also pray that Mom is able to rebound quickly and have a self fulfilling life. I love the Cowley's
