Hello Francine,
It is with great sorrow, that I give you my thoughts. I heard of Vern’s sickness and then his recent passing from my sister-in-law, Marie-Helene. I know too well of what you are enduring – my dad too had died at such a young age of cancer.
When these people we hold so dear seem indestructable, it is hard to belive that we are not always as strong as we like to think. I thought my dad would survive his cancer, but little did I know what he was going through and now I know, now that we too, are at that age. From what I know about Vernon, I believe he led a very fulfilling life and that is a good thing. I know he will be missed.
Love always,
Randy Hochstein
