It all went well and everything but it was just another reminder that he&#39;s really gone. But I&#39;m glad we did it - it was a great tribute.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br />You know Deb.....For the past few days I have been wondering what to say to try and comfort you during this time..<br />I think I understand how you are feeling, losing family /close friends with no doubt takes a lot of a person physically and emotionally ... I think it is part of the grieving process that MUST be endured or we would never be able to handle the strains of life. I also feel it&#39;s normal to have that reflective moment after everything is said and done.. and you&#39;re in your private space all alone in your own world and let your inner self have a chance reflect and experience what your spirit and soul truly feels. My heart is with you, and if you care to drop me a note.. <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":happy:" border="0" alt="happy.gif" /> <br />I also know that Memories and Smiles will soon replace the tears in your heart... <br />God Bless you and his entire family/friends that miss him.
