You are a loving and generous sister with a family and friends who will be comforting you at this time. That is a blessing. Afterwards take a breather. Take care of your health. Both my father and mother died last year so I understand how you feel. They are never far from my thoughts, but I am trying to live MY life and talk to them and think that they are with me in all I do. They would want me and my family to hold them dear while I face the future with joy and love. You are an active person and with Shanley nearby, you are bound to be volunteered for something or other. My sincere condolences, Gerry Gillio
