Sorry I couldn't be there to offer a small measure of support to you. I think offen of you, especially the time you wore a black shoe and a blue one to church because now I have done it too. And going to the "Reba" concert with you both; it was the only major concert I have ever been to. Hang in there and know my prayers are with you through your time of loss and beyond. Love both you and David, Nora.
