    Diane, My condolences to you. My wife Leslie just past away two weeks ago after a long debilitating struggle with multiple sclerosis. I have found that connecting with friends who have had the same experience is the most comforting. It has been a long time since those Mellon days but if you ever want to talk here is my number.....412-445-1633. John Stevens

    Diane and Justin, I can't begin to imagine what you both are going through. We often ask why things happen the way they do and unfortunately, we may never know. What we do know is that you have been blessed with two very special people in your lives and you have wonderful, fun and loving memories that you can treasure in your hearts and minds. Please accept my and my family's sincerest and deepest condolence for both Robin and Jarrett. May they both rest in peace. May God bless you both to be strong for each other and help you both through this very difficult and sad time. All our love, The Vojtash Family
