    I am so very sorry for your loss, You all have my deepest Sympathy. Arlys was always so nice to me whenever I saw her, and she always glowed when she talked about you three! I wish I could tell you it gets easier over time, But, sadly it doesn’t, I think of my mom and dad every single day. But there are a lot of happy memories too! I wish the same for all of you. You are All in my Prayers.
