Pat,
My heart goes out to you all. My love and prayers are with you, please know that in the difficult days ahead you will be held in my prayers and love. It is such a shock to lose someone like you lost William, as I well know, from the loss of my Mom like that. We do have comfort to know they did not suffer a long illness and we had to watch them slowly slip away day by day. I am so sorry I could not be with you all at this time, but as you know, I have been with my Dad day and night first in the hospital for 12 weeks and now at his home. Please know if I can do anything for any of you, I am a phone call away. I shall miss seeing William in the yard and our conversations.
Love and many prayers to you all
Arie Blankenship and family
