Joanne and Doug – my heartfelt condolences on your tragic loss of Roxanne at such an early age. No parent should ever have to bury a child under any circumstances but to have to do so unexpectedly brings its own special kind of anguish. My thoughts are with you and your family at this time of grief.
So sad to hear about Roxanne’s passing, thinking of you all at this difficult time.
