    So very sorry for the loss of your eldest baby, Nancy. My heart breaks for the whole family and his family of friends. I feel blessed to have spoken with him just a couple of days before his passing and especially blessed because the last thing we said to each other is "I love you. " I’m so very glad that you all have each other’s love and support. Sending love to all of my cousins. Xoxo
