    I’m so sorry for your loss. I know that words can never completely heal the hurt, but I found a quote by Richard Puz that helped me. “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.” Hold on to the good memories, and let their light guide you when the path is dark. Sending love & light.
