Nancy-Was sorry to read of the loss of your son. I remember how cute your children were when we worked together at the Bank and what a hard working single mother you were. I was happy when you remarried and things looked up for you and your family. I know you miss both of your boys, but find Peace in knowing what a Good Mother you were to them

I share my deepest sympathy with you. I knew Keary since kindergarten. He had a personality that no one could resist, and a smile (and eyelashes) that brightened anyone's day. He will be greatly missed, but he will forever stay in our cherished memories. My prayers are with you.
