Patty & family, I so hoped for a different outcome when I first heard however God had other plans. I know that your family and the memories that I'm sure you have will sustain you through this difficult time. Although we never forget, time has a way of easing the grief you feel and replacing it with a feeling of contentment in knowing that he is in a wonderful place and you will join him when it is meant to be. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love Nanette "Maupai" Eberwein
