Condolences
So sorry for your loss, during this difficult time.
Sorry Mark for your loss
Brent called me last night in my home in Indiana. My condolences are to the Cottrell family. When I lived in WV from 1980 to 2016 the Legan family got to know the Cottrell family.
I feel so sad for all the family members but especially Hap, the husband, that lost his true love. That experience happened to be when living in WV in 2004. For Hap take each day as it comes, and you have many family members to be at your side.
I will be thinking of each one of you.
I will help you mourn in spirit since I can't come.
God Bless,
Friend,
Bill Legan
I wrote one to the Cottrell family. My condolences to each of you, and especially to Hap for losing the "love of his life", and Hap I know how that feels losing Zana in 2004. My prayers are with you living in Indiana for 12 years. God Bless you all....Bill Legan
