    Mary Lee, I just learned of this today by reading the obituary in North Escambia. My heart goes out to you and all of your grandson’s family. I cannot imagine the heartbreak of losing a grandson. May God wrap his loving arms around you and all the family to comfort you during this time of grief. God bless you all.
