I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I send hugs and hope for your family to find peace during these hard times. I’ve known Steve and Trish since high school and had the privilege of knowing Betty.
Losing a member of the family is a hard one, I can say from my own experience that living after they’re gone will be hard at first but there are things along the way that remind you of them and you find peace knowing they are looking down and watching over you and your loved ones.
Cherish the time you have on this earth and live every day like it was your last! Love harder, smile often and learn to dance in the rain! Much love and hugs Steve, Trish, Bruce
