Susan and family,
My heart is aching for you. I can only imagine your bittersweet feelings. Tony is with his Lord and Savior pain-free and full of joy, but you all bear an emptiness that you can’t imagine ever going away. Cling to God’s promises that this place is just temporary and you will all be reunited once again. I will be praying for your peace and comfort in the days ahead. XO
