There are no words to help understand why God took our angel.
There are no words helping heal the emptiness and sadness, and There are no words to describe the overwhelming support we have been blessed with from families, friends and this community.
There are no words to fully express our heartfelt gratitude to all who have extended love and support to our family in any way.
Nothing in life is more difficult than grieving the loss of a loved one. Our lives have been touched and blessed by so many in different ways - words, calls, texts, messages; food, meals, meal tickets, gift cards, baskets filled with snacks, blankets, gifts and activities for the kids; family portraits, contributions of all kinds (including Masses, flowers and plants); but especially your thoughts and prayers throughout Christy’s journey - to every one, thank you.
We are truly blessed, Jason, Brayden, Brynlee and Brennen Arlen and Candace
