Bryant, Cindy, Lisa, Tim & Family,
I was so sad to hear of Coite's passing. I can't imagine the pain that you all are going through losing both of your parents in the same year. Knowing that they are together again in the presence of the Lord is hopefully comforting to you. Your Dad was such a smart, handsome man and will be sorely missed. If you need anything at all, please let me know.
Love you all, Christie - Portsmouth, VA
