I hope this doesn't come across as selfish or misunderstanding from my end, as I didn't know this person but saw this, and it affected me as I read this. Just seeing people with a loss, people missing someone. Obviously this person was needed, and it's too bad that they left, even with that reality. Sad that life was too hard and cold for them. I'm sorry for your guys' loss.
I also think this is the appropriate place to post it too though... even if it's years later, obviously the grief is still fresh. :hug:
(And sorry if I am overstepping boundaries by making a post, about someone I never met or spoke with etc... but it just touched me.)
