Diane and family...
My heart goes out to you during this time. I empathize with you but remember hearts mend and wounds heal. I am still healing so realize it is a process; cry when you need to cry, laugh and share memories when you need to in order to remember good times. Hold to each other and God for comfort, I promise you'll make it through.
