There are never any perfect words to say I'm very sorry in times like this. It hurts when we have to face a situation like this & can't explain how we're feeling deep inside. I understand completely how you feel. On August 8,2009 I lost my only grandpa, & today I'm still hurting deeply inside Hannah Wyatt graduated with me in high school. I know it'll get better with times
with God's help. Just remember the good memories, & that there's no more suffering. Just put your trust in God, & he'll make things better in time. I now live in Florida, but I still read the Courier-Times on-line. That's how I seen this. Remember people are praying for your family & will be there if you need anything. May God Bless you all always!

My condolences to Susie, a classmate from high school. It is difficult as we say goodbye to our parents - but surround yourself with the love and support of your family and keep only good memories in your heart.
