Cheryl...
I am beyond struck by this news. I had no idea Webb was ill - I am assuming this was sudden, yet there was an awareness? god bless and keep your family and hold Webb in happy memories, forever. Truly I am saddened to hear of his passing.

If there is anything, anything at all I can do, please do not hesitate to mention it. You are most certainly in my thoughts and prayers. I only hope you will remember what a wonderful partner you have been to him all these years.. may that knowledge somehow comfort and fortify you.

God Bless you and keep you at peace. With love,
Jennifer Opperman
