Dear Jason and family,
It is with sincere regret we heard of your father's passing. We know it has been a difficult struggle for Richard and your entire family. Having recently been challenged ourselves with the passing of my sister from this dreaded disease we truly understand the pain & suffering experienced. Providing comfort and support to those dealing with cancer never seems to be enough!
Please know that we will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
Best wishes
Paul & Sue
