Tony, I am so very sorry for your loss. I wish I had the right words that I could say to you. Grief can be very isolating and is experienced by each of us differently. Learning to cope with a loss takes time and a lot of energy. For me, I have found that I learned to cope with my loss, with the support of friends and family and those who have experienced a similar loss.

Our heart-felt thoughts go out to Shari and her Family, as long as we remember Devon, he will live on forever in all of us.
