Dear Frank and Margaret,We were so sorry to read of the death of your son, Dean, in the paper on Wednesday. Our thoughts and prayers are with both of you and your family. There is no harder pain in life than the death of a child. When my nephew drowned in 2013 at the age of 40, it was such a blow to my brother and sister-in-law. Please be gentle with yourselves as you navigate this year of your great loss. God will carry you through this, even though we know that this seems impossible to think of at this point. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you.Love, Betty and Jim Pate
