Becky, Just wanted to let you know how sorry I am. My prayers are with you and your family! Loss is so bad, but losing both is a tremendous loss! Love you!
Don and Mary babysat our Grandson, Tyler Purdue, when he was little.Best babysitters, he ever had. They were always so nice, and caring. They had such heartache, when the 2 boys died. Now, more tragedy. May they REST in PEACE, NOW
