Erin I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how hard this must be. My prayers are with you.
oh erin, i am so sorry. I didn't look at my blog until now I would have come to the viewing had I known. When matt's dad passed away a year ago people said the funniest things to him so I am not going to say any of that only that I am sorry it had to happen this way.
