We lost a valued team member in late ‘19 and two others through the past two years. I choked up talking about him on several calls. Your note is very thoughtful. All we can do is our best. Grieving is very personal - from a colleague /

When my FiL had an accident and eventually died in the burn center of a big hospital, we were shocked to find that many kids in the unit had no visitors. Even their parents struggled with the nature of their injury. We visited daily over 3
