Dear David and Family: I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I remember your mom from when you and I were growing up. I remember going to the Aces Basketball Games at Roberts Stadium with you, your dad and your mom- we had good times. Your parents were always very nice to me. Try to stay strong right now. I lost my dad in 2007- it is a hard thing to deal with, but it gets easier with time and I pray the same will happen for you. God bless you and your family at this time.
