Mary, While the loss of a loved one is never easy, it is most certainly the hardest when they are taken from us too soon.  Your recent  loss has left us at such a youthful age is definitely in the category of those losses for which there is so painful a reminder of what might have been.  We offer our sincere condolence and deepest sympathy on your loss. May the outpouring of sympathy, the kind acts of friends and strangers and the comfort in knowing that your loss is felt by many, help you through this difficult time.  I ask for God's blessings on you and your wonderful family.  May you find the courage and strength to move forward in peace and confidence and knowing that his life was a life well lived. Ivan and Kathy
