I’m very sorry to learn of this news.
He always encouraged my son’s magic and would call people up to “come see this 12 year old devil and his magic tricks. A fun to talk to guy and a smart mechanic.

Dear Amanda
I wanted to reach out to you and let you know that Barry and I are so sorry to hear of your husband’s unexpected death. My heart goes out to you and your children and I lift you up in prayer to our Lord to help you through this tragic time. Even though distance and other factors have kept us from being close, I wish this wasn’t something you had to deal with at such a young age. I know your mother and father will be a comfort through this difficult time. I know you have two beautiful children and this must be very difficult for them to understand which makes it even harder for you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. ?
