| Christy Razzano | Dear Karen and Mrs. Gordes,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I always remember Mr. Gordes with a twinkle in his beautiful eyes. I have always been grateful to call Karen my friend and I hope the girls and I can be of some comfort for you both right now. Please don't hesitate to ask and know sometimes we'll just be there regardless. You both are loved.
I ran across this quote recently and hope you keep it in mind:
"When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to walk it by yourself, the women in your life will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the valley's end. Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you...or come in and carry you out."
