Roy – I am sorry to hear of your loss.
We are newly residing at 348 Valley Road, Canadensis. We often look up at your home above, wondering why no one lives there. The little stone cherub sitting on the rocks is lonely…but now we realize why the home is currently uninhabited.
So, so sorry for your loss… 🙁
A long illness is so very difficult.
Be well.
I convey my deepest condolences to my friend Roy. May the angels surround his wife Elaine on her new journey.
