Dear Sandy,  As we have said to each other over and over again for many reasons these past few years, this too will pass.  I’m so sad that you had this long journey with your parents passing, no one wants to walk this journey.  I’ve watched you handle things so graciously and lovingly.  You have been a respectful and helpful daughter through all of this.  Never doubt that for one minute.  Cherish and revisit the happy memories, those are what really count. Clarence you been a GREAT son-in-law and wonderful supportive husband to Sandy.  Take care of our girlfriend.
Love, Bonnie and Dave Work
