I want to thank everybody who attended my husbands memorial. It was truly amazing. I felt the love that came from all of the friends and family, even from those I hadn't seen in years. There are no words to express my gratitude for everything that everyone has done to help me and my boys in this time of sorrow. I thank you all and I love you all.
