To the siblings, I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my brother 5 years ago to cancer. I still miss him so much. I am so glad I got to know this family so many years ago at the Blue Ridge Produce. I will always have fond memories of you all. You will never get over losing your brother, but you will accept it.
