Rose, Ken and Mark, so sorry to hear about your daughter and granddaughters passing. I am sure you are Reba stated. My God hold you close during this time . I’ll be praying for you.
First, let me say wow, she is beautiful. Mark, I can’t imagine walking in your shoes. Over our years of friendship you and I have spoken about your daughter, her struggles, and that no matter what, she was loved so much by you. This chapter of life is one that parents fear. It should not happen. And it happened to my friend. I’m sorry doesn’t even cut it. Mark, if I could I would gladly carry your grief for you. I wish we could rewind life, lord only knows. You know, if you ever want to just tell someone what’s running through your mind, pick me. You know I won’t let you down. No matter what time, where I’m at, I’ll be there for you. And to your whole family and all of her friends, I’m unbelievably sorry for your loss.
