Pam, I am so sorry to hear of Drew's death. You know better than we all do what a good person he was. I think of how you weathered so much together over the last 41 years. And that's the key ...that you weathered it all together...whether it was job loss, the loss of your parents, the loss of your child. Now there is no one who can adequately understand. Sure, we are here and his mom is here and his brother and sister and their families are here, but we don't know what the two of you knew together....how deep sadness could be and how much you relied on each other for comfort. I can only guess and feel so sorry we can't give that to you. This is such a shock. I wish we lived closer to you, but take comfort in knowing that you always made so many friends easily, so I know you are surrounded by people who love you as much as we do. I think how I might be feeling if I were in your shoes today. I would be trying to recall all the last conversations of my loved one or all the looks he gave me or the pride I took in how he encouraged my children, wondering if he knew how proud I was of how he encouraged them....all the things that don't make it into the photo albums. Write them down so you don't forget. So your kids know too. Write down his sayings and comments. They may bring a smile to you later when your heart's not breaking. It makes no sense and it's sure not fair. What is? Drew probably had a saying or two on that subject. With deepest affection and sympathy, Kathy
