Gina, I am so sorry for the loss of a great man!! He loved you and the kids so much it breaks my heart writing this. He was such a good friend to everyone he came in contact with. I have never met anyone so proud of his family. I will miss him so much words cannot describe my frustration. I can only imagine what you are going through. Please do not hesitate to lean on us for any little thing you can imagine. It would be my honor to help out such a great mans family in any way that I can.
