I am so sorry for this sudden and unexpected loss. My hope is that each of you is lifted by the compassion and love being poured your way. A quote from Rumi has been helpful to me in losses like this: "A mountain keeps an echo deep inside itself, that is how I hold your voice" John will find many ways to let you know that his love for you never dies. Love and peace to each of you, Joan Wade
