Pam I am so sorry, not for Albert, we know how happy He is , but for You and the Family, when our loved ones pass on, especially spouse or kids, it leaves a hole in Your heart that can't be filled, but it will get easier as the days go by, think of the good times. I really wish that I could be there for You , but it isn't possible. I Love You, archie
