Tammy and Sherry,
I'm not going to tell you I know how you feel. Love is not measured in liquid or solid, it's what's in the heart. I just went through the same thing just over a year ago with Dana, it still hurts. My heart goes out to you and the family, so do my prayers. I will always love Duke and he will remain on my heart forever. He always told me he loved me and I love him!
R.I.P. my friend, you and Dana are together again! Linda Bumgarner Polk
