Hi DaveN,

Just wanted to offer you my condolences on the passing away of your Grandparent. I know how much a Grandparent can mean to a person (indeed even the whole family)...and how big a hole they can leave for everyone in the family when they pass away.

FWIW, remembering back to such a time in my own family, it seems the best "ointment" for one's own heart was the love, compassion and just "being there" support -- and time -- shared and given to fellow family members who were similarly affected.

Again my condolences on your loss to you and your family.

Best wishes (and comfort) to you and yours in all regards,

Louis
