Nancy...I am so very sorry for your loss. You are on my heart and please know that I will be praying for you  and your sons during these days. I know many love the Griswold's and that will help see you through as will their prayers.

My sympathy and prayers are with all of you. I regret that I won't be to attend Nero's service, but I will be thinking of you just as I have been since I read his obituary. I have always had a very deep respect for Nero. He was true southern gentleman and a gentle man. May you find comfort knowing that he is no longer suffering. He's busy starting new businesses in heaven. God bless each of you. Chris Ray, Carie Tenzel Wilemon's mother
