My deepest sympathy to you, Darla, and your family. It is so difficult to lose a sibling, so young. There is no doubt he was surrounded by a loving family and knew how much he was loved. The memories that you hold dear will only become stronger and more precious. I so want to be there for you today, I am not sure with our low staffing I will be able to. I so want to hug you and let you know the pain will in time turn into laughter of the priceless memories. I love You! Christine
