Thank you all so much for your kind words and prayers. Harry died at 4:30 this morning. Although still reeling at the speed in which this happened, our family is strong and we love each other very much. We're good.
There are so many others that sorely need our prayers or positive thoughts. In particular, a young man named Forest who is in UVA hospital right now with a brain bleed and a friend, Jeff, who is battling cancer.
