"Dear Mark We are so... sorry to hear of your loss of Liz. She was such a great person and the two of you made such a great couple. I only wish our relationship could have been closer the last 20 years. A friend shared this poem with us when we lost our daughter 17 years ago. Every time I read it, it seems to soften Nicole’s loss. I too hope you find comfort with Liz’s loss. Please have faith that your chain will link again. God Bless and know that you are in our prayers - Dan, Barb, Derek, Sean & Rachel The Broken Chain We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. By Ron Tranmer"
