I'm sorry to hear about Shirley's husband passing away. She and her family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteI'm also sad to hear of Warren's passing. I knew he wasn't well but I wasn't expecting this. Warren was a very interesting man and we enjoyed his friendship, even though it was recent and brief. I'm sorry we didn't get the opportunity to know him better.
ReplyDeleteShirley and her family will be in our thoughts and prayers. With a sad heart.
