DJ, my heart aches with you. I'm so sorry for your immense loss. I too am holding you in prayer and heart during this sad time. Your upcoming celebration of his life will probably bring lots of fun memories and laughter - hold onto those, they will bring much comfort not only now but later on in the journey.

We're all here for you if/when you ever need shoulders to cry on and/or to talk.
