My deepest condolences to my lifelong friend Brian, and the entire Carothers family.
I’m sorry I was unable to attend.
It’s a circle of emotions, losing our mother, it’s a total loss to our pillar of knowledge and love, but we’re also glad there will be no more ailments.
Knowing they’ve been met by other loved ones makes it all bearable.
