I am so sorry for your family's heartbreaking loss of Curt. Grief is the price we pay for the love our hearts have known. As heart-shattering as loss is, grace somehow holds our many broken pieces together.

A quote found me last year as I struggled with loss. It's from Anne Lamott:

"I do not at all understand the mystery of grace – only that it meets us where we are but does not leave us where it found us."

Stay focused on what you love and take good care of yourself.

Thank you Cynthia, and I am so sorry to hear about Aaron's struggle. This is such a difficult think to confront, and one feels so helpless. Appreciate you and everyones thoughts.

Well, you know – life can be good and generous, too. We've been fortunate to have a good balance, which has been mostly on the nice side of life.

Thank you John, that is well said (something we all hate to say, but so true).

Dearest Matt & Joe,

My heart goes out to you both during this very hard time. I hope you both find peace in knowing that Curtis is no longer in pain and his spirit is finally free.

Condolences and Hugs,
Fred Biasella
